The Japanese gaming giant Nintendo has decided to grant gamers from all around the world their wishes, launching a purely handheld console. The Nintendo Switch Lite is a smaller brother of the successful Nintendo Switch. It allows you to play the same games, but you can no longer connect the console to a TV or disconnect the joy-cons.
The Nintendo Switch Lite easily fits into your pocket. Its dimensions are only 208 × 91 × 14mm and it weighs 297g.
The Nintendo Switch Lite features fixed game controls on the sides of the display. You'll appreciate its classic d-pad on the left side.
This device allows you to play all available games from the expanding Nintendo Switch library. However, selected games require the separately sold joy-cons.
Digital versions of games are available for purchase in Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch or the official Nintendo website.
Take screenshots and save them by simply pressing the Capture button. Later, you can browse your gallery, add text to your pictures and share your creations on social media.
After creating a free Nintendo Account, you will be receiving regular updates on upcoming titles, invitations to special Nintendo events, notifications and much more.
Make sure your family is just having fun - set up parental controls to keep a good track of how your Nintendo Switch Lite is used. You can download a free mobile app that gives you even more options and enables you to conveniently change your parental control settings from anywhere via your smartphone.
Hardware-wise, the Nintendo Switch Lite is identical to the classic Switch. Therefore, it offers the NVIDIA Tegra X1 chip with 4GB RAM and 32GB flash memory. It also comes equipped with a microSD card slot and a game cartridge slot. However, what is different from the classic Switch is the Nintendo Switch Lite's 5.5" 1280x720 touchscreen display.
The battery lasts up to seven hours, but the battery life very much depends on the load. More demanding games bring the battery life down to approximately 3 hours.
The system offers 32GB of internal memory, a part of which is reserved for the console's software. You can easily expand the device's storage capacity by inserting a microSDHC or microSDXC memory card.
Specifications can be changed without notice. Images are for illustrative purposes only.
