A new Nintendo Switch firmware has been released earlier today, introducing new features to the console. The firmware, however, includes some undocumented changes and, among them, is support for a new console model.

　　Dataminer Mike Heskin took a good look at the 10.0.0 firmware, discovering that it adds preliminary support for a new hardware model. 3 of the 5 new DRAM profiles are for this new hardware type and it seems like there is evidence that this new model will feature a secondary display.
