- The second iteration of the battery console It has a battery life of 5.5 hours when playing Animal Crossing with the Wi-Fi turned off, the brightness set between 80 and 85%, and auto-brightness enabled. To put it another way, around 5 hours with the brightness settings left the same. Do not let yourself be misled by the statements of people who write about 6โ9 hours of gameplay. This is total and utter nonsensical. If you turn the console's brightness all the way down to zero, in theory it should be able to last somewhat longer than six hours.

To all of those people who are interested in mobile gaming but for some reason do not want to play games on their smartphones, I can confidently recommend it. For people who are sick of playing games with huge budgets and just want something simple and soothing to play now and then. Those individuals who were interested in playing some indie games but just did not have the time to do it at their homes.
