Speaking of size, the Switch Lite is also much more portable than the standard Switch is. So, while it’s true that the Switch Lite doesn’t last quite as long as the standard Switch, that’s to be expected given the Switch Lite’s smaller size.

In my review of the Switch Lite, my battery testing found that the Switch Lite lasted for around 3.5 hours while playing The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, compared to around 4.5 hours for the HAC-001(-01) standard Switch. This means that visuals can sometimes look sharper on the Switch Lite than they do on the standard Switch, which can certainly be a point in the Switch Lite’s favor.īattery life is similar between the two models, assuming we’re talking about the standard Switch refresh that Nintendo launched in August of last year – model HAC-001(-01). Though the screen size is a little bit smaller on the Switch Lite, resolution is the same: 720p. So, with the Switch Lite, you’re losing one of the big selling points of the standard Switch.
SWITCH VS SWITCH LITE TV
It doesn’t come with a dock and it can’t output to a TV like the standard Switch can. The biggest difference between the two is that the Switch Lite is a purely handheld console. The Switch is great for pretty much anyone who enjoys Nintendo’s games, but the standard Switch and the Switch Lite are not equal in terms of capability or price. Nintendo has released a number of truly stellar games for the console in its three-year lifespan so far, and the Switch is also a formidable indie machine. If you’re bored in self-isolation and you’re looking for a way to pass the time, there’s no denying that the Switch is a great way to do that. The same is true for Best Buy – the standard Switch isn’t available online, but both the yellow and the gray Switch Lite are. GameStop is similarly sold out of the standard Switch, but the turquoise, gray, and yellow Switch Lites are all in stock. While Amazon is currently sold out of both the standard Switch and Switch Lite, it’s restocking the Switch Lite on April 14th (there’s no such restock notice for the standard Switch). Interestingly, the Switch Lite is still in stock at some retailers.
