• The hybrid console debuts a custom Nvidia processor that delivers 4K output on TVs via HDMI and variable-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p on its handheld display.
• Nintendo’s official manual advises keeping the factory display film attached to prevent glass shards in case of damage and introduces a battery-preserving charge mode that caps charging at 90 percent.
