Nintendo has previously revealed that they are “always performing development of new hardware” after rumors were initially spread about a Switch Mini potentially being announced

The latest Switch model that Nintendo has released was the Switch Lite which was first launched on September 20, 2019, so it is possible that they have shifted their focus to a new model.

Although it is unclear if this leaked model is set to be announced by Nintendo, many fans are quite excited about the idea of dual-display Switch being potentially released.
