Nintendo Switch Lite vs Nintendo Switch OLED
Buy the Switch OLED if you want to play on a TV, share the screen with others, or want the bigger, brighter 7-inch OLED display. Buy the Switch Lite if you only play handheld and want a lighter, cheaper-feeling console with a real D-pad. The OLED is the better all-around machine and owners rate it higher, but the Lite is smaller, lighter and sturdier in the hand for pure portable play.
- Choose the Switch Lite if you only play handheld, want a lighter console with a proper D-pad, and do not need TV output or detachable controllers.
- Choose the Switch OLED if you want to dock to a TV, play local multiplayer with Joy-Cons, and get the larger OLED screen and double the storage.
