Slim and stylish design,Sharper, if smaller screen,Good battery life,Comes with a proper D-pad,Cheaper than full-fat Switch,
are fixed in place, No built-in rumble or kickstand, Only 32GB of internal storage,
The Nintendo Switch Lite delivers a classic portable handheld gaming experience that makes enjoying the Japanese maker's top selection of software on the go a pleasure. Sacrifices in terms of features, as well as near-identical performance to the existing...
Design is robust, attractive and easy to use, Already boasts a fantastic library of games, Increased battery life compared to the base model,
Nature of console means certain games are no longer supported, Local multiplayer is far harder to achieve without docking,
The Nintendo Switch Lite is an excellent portable console that refines the display, buttons and overall form factor of its older sibling. Yet the sacrifice of docked play will be a deal-breaker for some. If you're yet to purchase a Switch, however, and ar...

Great colour options, Sharp, colourful screen, Brilliant selection of games, An actual D-Pad, Very comfortable to hold (unless you have giant hands)
Primary and non-primary console faff, Battery life still isn't great, Some games need Joy-Con support, Should it even be called a Switch
The bottom line is this: the Nintendo Switch Lite is a joy to play games on, and while it's a totally unnecessary luxury for owners of the more talented original console, it is a more desirable piece of kit to have in your hands. Hardware-wise, I'd hesit...
Well-built and lightweight design, Plays all Switch games at their best (as long as they support handheld mode), Some of the best first-party titles on any console
Slightly pricey, In-game text can appear tiny on its 5.5-inch screen, Still no media streaming apps like Netflix, Only 32GB storage without buying a microSD card
If you haven't been able to tell by now, we're totally enamoured by the Nintendo Switch Lite. Its feel, form factor and friendliness make it a superb device to hold and cherish. Add the fact that it can play some of the best games around without compromis...
Smaller and lighter than original Switch, Improved battery life, £80 cheaper
Still no Bluetooth audio support
With that, we've finally reached the main problem with the Switch Lite. Depending on your preferences, the price differences simply aren't big enough to justify the lack of features, and if you're not like me and want to play Zelda on the big screen, then...

Abstract: Mobile magic.Who would have believed it? The Switch that cannot actually switch is an absolute triumph - a pared back rendition of the hardware that demonstrates quite spectacularly that beyond the hybrid console functionality that defined the system, t...
Top-quality build, easy on the eye, easier on the hands. The 3DS finally has a direct successor and it's lost little in translation
Not as fully featured as the OG Switch, but this should go without saying, Rating:
Nintendo's proud tradition of creating simple, powerful handheld consoles continues with this focused take on the Switch's versatility. If you want a handheld that delivers the gamut of 2019's gaming potential, there is nothing close to the Switch Lite...
Lighter and smaller, More portable, Nice selection of colors, Comfortable design
Limited to handheld games, Still not as comfortable as 3DS
The Nintendo Switch Lite is a great, compact device for those who aren't a fan of (or simply never use) the original Switch's docked mode. The design is more comfortable for portable gaming than the Switch, while boasting the same performance...
