Wi-Fi module.
Right, of course. Logic fail on my part there.
That's how pretty much all modern portable electronic devices look on the inside. Not that it isn't impressive, but it's not unusual.
Are you joking? It's just a chip revision.
EMMC is flash storage I believe.
Dat L-shaped heat pipe. FoxCon leak strikes again!
Did the Foxconn leak actually mention that? Can't remember right now.

I hope the battery has still enough room.
I don't want to have a Note 7 battery debacle with the switch!

Translating from Chinese it says something about "memory". I have no idea if it's ram or flash memory (storage) though.
Edit
That's it.

The battery looks easily replaceable. That's great! I'm planning to swap mine out myself whenever it gets a few too many cycles on it and loses capacity in a year or two, provided Nintendo overcharges too much to do it, which they probably will.
We need to get some electron scans of that custom chip!

HAC-EMMC, so a module for the internal memory that is perhaps only hosting a single 32GB flash memory chip?

Ah, I didn't look too close, just looks like communication modules I've seen in other devices.

I don't think it's possible to be make something as powerful as the PS4 with something as small and slim as the Switch, it isn't leagues off though.
They don't know themselves, it's saying "who can tell us what this is, is it the memory module"?

Nice!! As expected, it is very compacted and cramped in there. That battery is huge for the space that is in the system!

Didn't see that. Yeah, it's storage.
The true conspiracy, the pack-in was NSMB all along!
Dat L-shaped heat pipe. FoxCon leak strikes again!
Holy shit, they do mention it!
There's another detail the Foxconn leak has correct.Foxconn leak said:
...no

Yes, thats what's mentioned in the foxconn leak. But the leaks sounds just like a guy that took a look at the Switch GPU and went "it looks like a pascal GPU with A73" isn't that impossible just by looking at it?

Not even close. But considering how much smaller this is than a PS4 or XBox One the relative power is pretty fucking astounding.
I think all this reveals at this point is that the Switch is well-engineered and uses its small space about as efficiently as you could hope for. This isn't telling us clock speeds or really anything particularly useful about the custom Nvidia chip, afaik.

From what I'm seeing here, I can see the Switch getting a fairly high repairability score.

And Nintendo will be poised for the handheld gaming future.
That's what I thought too. I seems to be pretty easy to replace the battery for example.
Gotcha. Makes sense.
Well not exactly a PS4, but the same kind of impact for handhelds that the PS4 had for home consoles.

Might also be possible for someone to physically hack themselves extra storage maybe?

In that sense absolutely, Switch is a little portable powerhouse.

Nintendo went full GameCube, never go full GameCube.
Buying an SD card it's probably easier.

Uh no. Internal storage. What are you smoking?

I didn't see that part in the improved translation.

It look like a wifi module to me at a glance. I said it was internal storage after looking closer. See my previous post.
Give me a break, I'm on my phone
We've known that for awhile. The said the battery was non removable forever ago. Also look at it this way, it has the biggest battery you could possibly get.
