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...

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...

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...

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

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...
