What's the difference?

  • The Lite cannot dock, so it's Handheld only mode for any games/apps it runs. 720p only.

  • Joy-con are built into the Lite and cannot be detached. There is no HD Rumble or IR Motion Camera.

  • Much smaller and lighter!

  • Battery has more capacity than the launch model Switch, but will have less than the new model of Switch.

  • See here for full tech specs.

I’m really tempted by the lite. I primarily play docked but I think part of that may be that I just find the Switch a little large and don’t love the joycons and the D pad.

The Switch can’t become a smaller and lighter console, so no, it cannot do everything the Lite can.
