"New 3DS" is the latest 3DS console from Nintendo, 3DS and XL models of this will be available. It will launch on October 11th in Japan, 2015 for EUR/USA. It was announced on 29 of August 2014. It will feature "New 3DS"-specific titles that are not playable on older 3DS models, which may imply new encryption keys(though blocking title-launch of those titles on old hw could be done other ways too as well).
According to official sources, the following changes have been made hardware-wise:
- Faster CPU
- Better 3D screen technology (including head-tracking via camera for the stereoscopy)
- IR LED next to the the camera above the top-screen, used with the above head-tracking for better camera-video brightness.
- MicroSD-slot instead of normal-sized SD-slot, moved under the bottom cover(which covers the battery as well)
- Easily removable plates for 3DS bottom(same cover mentioned above) / back of top-screen (for the regular New 3DS at least)
- NFC support
- Two circle-pads instead of one (new one is a small pad)
- New buttons ZR and ZL
- Automatic screen brightness adjustment "depending on the surroundings"
Based on disassembly of certain sysmodules for code added/changed with in the 8.0.0-18 update, it appears that the "New 3DS" has the following changes:
- They extended FCRAM from 128MB to 256MB.
- They added another memory-block with size 4MB.
See hardware specs here also.
The "New 3DS" uses system-titles based on as the original hardware system-titles, see here and here.
The product code of the New 3DS is KTR, while the product code of the New 3DS XL is RED.
