It\u2019s smaller and less expensive, but lacks some of the features of its bigger brother. So when it comes to the Nintendo Switch vs Switch Lite, which is the best for you?

The controllers are removable, which allows for easy same-screen multiplayer gaming. If you lose one, break one, or just want to change the look of your Switch, you can always buy replacement Joy-Cons.

It\u2019s designed solely as a dedicated handheld gaming device, so you can\u2019t connect it to your TV. It\u2019s 8.2 inches high by 3.6 inches tall, roughly an inch narrower and half an inch shorter than the original Nintendo Switch console. It\u2019s also about 30% lighter, though this isn\u2019t a huge deal. Both are well under a pound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Nintendo Switch Lite features a 5.5-inch LCD display, which is 0.7 inches smaller than the Switch. They have the same 1,280 x 720 resolution, however. The Joy-Cons are fully integrated, too, which means you can\u2019t detach them like with the original Switch. Despite the overall size and price difference, the Lite has similar processing power and the same storage options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of game compatibility, you can play almost all of the same titles on the Switch Lite as you can on the regular Switch, except those that require a TV, like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring Fit Adventure<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the Labo kits. It also doesn\u2019t have HD rumble or motion controls, so you can\u2019t experience the gameplay joy of manually aiming your bow in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More portable<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single-piece design feels sturdier<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less expensive<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cons<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No TV output, so you can\u2019t play certain Nintendo Switch games<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller screen size<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less customization<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No tabletop mode<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which is the best Nintendo Switch for you?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the most versatility, the regular Switch will be the best choice for most. While it is 50% more expensive than the Lite, the ability to game on your TV is a huge advantage. The built-in touch screen is also larger on the standard Switch, and its built-in kickstand lets you prop up the screen on a table. This lets you lean back and play with the controllers, which are detachable, another key advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, gamers with smaller hands may find that the Switch Lite is easier to hold. Its smaller size also makes it even more portable, and easier to fit into a jacket pocket or small purse. While both are lightweight, the Lite\u2019s 0.61 lbs may be less tiring than the 0.88 lbs of the regular Switch with its controllers attached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Battery life will vary depending on the game you\u2019re playing. If you already own a Switch, and bought it before mid-August 2019, the Lite will have better battery life. If you\u2019re looking to buy new now, the regular Switch has a better battery life thanks to some updated hardware. In either case, Nintendo claims you should get between 3-7 hours of playtime with the Lite and 4.5-9 hours with the newer version of the Switch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you want an all-around gaming system, get the standard Switch. If you only ever plan to use it on the go, and don\u2019t mind saving a bit of money, check out the Switch Lite.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70334\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70334 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Nintendo-Switch-Lite.jpg\" alt=\"Yellow Nintendo Switch Lite\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Nintendo-Switch-Lite.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Nintendo-Switch-Lite-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Nintendo-Switch-Lite-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yellow Nintendo Switch Lite.\u00a0 <em><strong>Photo by\u00a0<\/strong>Loegunn Lai on Unsplash.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adorama carries multiple bundles for both, including one with the Switch, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nihadskabaar.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">128GB memory card, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and another for the Switch Lite with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nihdhsyazaad.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">128GB memory card and carrying case inspired by the game <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal Crossing<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nintendo Switch combines the best features of a portable, handheld game system and the big-screen excitement of a home game console.
