Nintendo Switch OLED vs. Switch Lite in 2023

Ойындар

If you feel like you missed the Switch train and want to give it a try, maybe look to the Lite as an option. It might be the best Switch on the market going into 2023.

    I watched COUNTLESS KZreadr influencers give me their hot take on the Switch Lite v Switch v Switch OLED. Many, many of them said the switch lite was worthless etc. I purchased the switch lite and I can safely say it’s an amazing handheld console and I’m very glad I bought it. I already have a PS5 so I didn’t want a console to hook to the tv. I like being able to be anywhere and play. Don’t listen to influencers guys, do what you want! Display is brilliant, sound is brilliant. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    Yeah, the screen on the lite or Garbage but it’s MUCH more comfortable to be a handheld than the OLED. I primarily game on my PC so I just wanted a handheld to play games like Zelda or Pokémon, the regular switch is too large and heavy to be playing in handheld mode for over 30-40 minutes.

    I own a Switch Lite for three reasons: 1) It's a supplemental console; I already own a Series S, gaming PC and Steam Deck. 2) It was affordable and I didn't see the need to splurge when I already had current-gen hardware. 3) I've replaced four sets of Joy Cons on my son's Switch; I don't like how easy it is to damage the rails on the Joy Cons. Altogether, I've had a great experience with my Switch Lite and I play it every day.

    If they came out with an OLED Lite, with better battery and a kickstand (for if you wanted to connect an external controller to play in tabletop mode)…that would be my dream machine. Playing my OLED in handheld mode, the joycons always feel like they are going to break off. I love that the Lite is a solid unit, but I also hate the joysticks on all of the switch units.

    Switch lite fitting in the pocket is pretty awesome, but sometimes I want a bigger screen. Hopefully they make the Switch lite exactly the same, but get rid of the bezel and really push the screen to the edges of the shell. Higher risk of breaking the screen, but that's a risk I'm willing to make.

    I just swapped from my switch v1 to an oled recently. For a better battery life and I liked the bigger screen idea. I'm just used to big screens and weight in handheld because of my tablet and switch v1. I don't bring my switch out of home very often. When I'm on vacation trips for a week, I do many other things. So at home is the only place I play, most of the time.

    I was very tempted in getting the Oled, i currently have the Switch Lite and the regular Switch. I tend to use the bulky Switch docked at home with the tv. I like the Switch Lite better because it feels more compact and portable! I always play it in tabletop mode with the Pro Controller, it feels alot more comfortable that way! It's good to get the Oled if you don't have a Switch at all, otherwise it's just a cash grab if you already have a Switch.

    I went with the v2 simply because of that option to dock and play on a bigger screen. Obviously it looks more crisp on the small screen, but hey, the Switch's selling point was a home console that you can take with you everywhere so I really wanted to have that option available. 😁 Plus, playing sports games with someone is a lot easier on the big screen too. I do like the form factor of the lite, though. Especially the yellow one.

    I appreciate your take on the different Switch models. Personally, I ended up getting the red box Switch in September of 2021.. I had two reasons for it. The first reason was obviously I wanted to be able to play on the TV, but the fact that i could take it out of the dock and keep playing in handheld mode was really awesome. There have been times where i would bring it to bed with me to play a while longer before putting it to the side for the night. Second reason was out of anticipation for Metroid Dread, even tho the OLED Switch was actually releasing the same day as Dread, i kinda didn't want to pay any more money than i already was, and I felt the OLED model wasn't necessary for me. As for the Switch Lite, even though it's neat that it's an option, I just don't think I would have been as satisfied with it as I am with my red box Switch.

    The Switch lite is great for portable play, but for me, the screen is too small for some games (text is REALLY tiny). The OLED with the 7” screen doesn’t seem that much bigger, but it makes a HUGE difference for me, as I like to play a lot of turn based tactics games on the Switch. However, the light is a more portable console.

I ended up selling it along with all the games, accessories etc. Then recently I started missing my Nintendo games, once they announced the Super Mario Movie, and that the switch will have access to the N64 games, that pushed me into getting a switch so bad again. I ended up buying this new switch lite in blue, along with all my old games and some new ones. Feels like I’m playing my game boy all over again.

    I had a switch lite a few years ago before switching to the oled, now i just scored a switch lite with a glacier blue clear shell, so im deciding to make that my main switch, then selling my oled before the value of it plummets with switch 2 right around the corner. I literally like, NEVER use my dock. I used it for a day or two when TOTK came out and thats it, so downsizing and no dock isnt an issue for me, the only thing ill miss is the OLED screen. Its just so nice, but I do have a oldschool PS Vita OLED that i can stare at

    I still prefer either the Original or the OLED - can do both using a TV and handheld gaming, but the Lite can only do the latter.

    Not sure how the lite feels, but I just got the regular model and I hate the feel of it in handheld mode. It feels cramped and heavy. I fully expected to enjoy it in hand held mode, but only play on the docked mode with the pro controller.

    I copped the original switch back in 2017, traded it in for a Mario edition sometime in 2021. The oled was released and I got that. Loved the display and how vibrant the games looked…but I had no clue how bad both(maybe exaggerated a bit) these options were as a handheld option until I copped the switch lite at the beginning of this month. The size is PERFECT…I do more gaming handheld in bed than I ever did with my other switches. The portability for the lite is a 10/10. I’m a medic and I throw this in my bag along with a battery pack to play animal crossing and super Mario 3d world in between calls. I’ve gotten further in games just because of how portable this thing is. I still use both my other switches in dock mode 80% of the time. Typically when I wanna game in a bigger screen and use an actual controller. Sometimes I play the OLED in handheld mode but not for long. I always find my wake back to the switch lite for my handheld needs. Extremely underrated and I will say I for sure slept on this when it was released in 2019!

My DS is still working but some of the buttons aren’t working properly ( due to me being a very very hardcore gaming girl). Probably next Christmas I’ll be able to buy my own console with my own money and I am so excited for that day to come, after watching many reviews online….I’d probably get the Nintendo Lite…and who knows maybe there may be a new console release later, but I’ll probably get something like the Lite, docking will probably be rare for me cuz I work away from home and I want something easy to carry I know we’re not discussing a Steamdeck but I’m a casual player so Nintendo will be good for me, I just wanted something different after playing mobile games on my phone

    I bought and still use a v2 Switch with the better battery life back in 2019. And I have no regrets making that purchase. The battery life has remained consistent in spite of being over 3 years old, and I feel like I bought it at the perfect time given the pandemic that was about to emerge. On top of this, my joy cons still haven’t drifted. But that is likely because I have a carrying case for the console.

    I was tossed between the 3 consoles but I've actually made up my mind to get the oled Switch. I'm going to get it when I get back from vacation. Me personally I love the bigger screen and the rich oled battery life and better memory. But the lite Looks very decent as well but the problem is when the lite starts having stick shift problems you're basically out of luck you can't replace the joy cons and that's one of the biggest reasons why I don't want to pick up the lite me personally. But I do enjoy your perspective

    I didn't have a portable console since the gameboy color. Went from pc gaming to the nintendo switch lite. Honestly, being able to carrying it out and play pokemon games like in the old days just feels amazing. Plus, I don't need to wait till I get home to play monster hunter either. The experience for old timers like me won't disappoint. If you're worried about the nintendo e-shop shutting down after the next gen console, just buy the physical games. They're actually cheaper.

No dock or TV needed. If you are a streamer I do recommend you get the normal dockable switch so you can have video output, if not, the lite is honestly perfect for someone looking for a personal gaming device that plays nintendo exclusives.

    I switched, pun intended, to Oled from lite because my right hand was cramping in games that used the trigger a lot. Haven’t had this problem since I switched to an Oled and mainly use the pro controller while playing. Mostly this happened while playing Pokemon Unite and Monster Hunter. If you play games that use the triggers, long term use of the lite is not an option.

    The price point was a huge factor for me when I bought a lite a few months ago. I Have a PS5 and a decent gaming laptop so the $200 price point was a lot easier to take in knowing I was mostly playing exclusives on the switch and that it would be essentially my 3rd place system.

    I'm going with the Switch Lite as i only want to play a few games mostly Mario and Zelda titles, i also really want a dedicated handheld system. I have thought about playing on the TV but Joy Cons are pricey and No one in my family would use the switch. I have looked gameplay solely in handheld and the Lite looks fine, MK8 looks GREAT, BOTW still plays well and Odyssey it very vibrant as the screen is smaller the 720p looks very crisp the sound quality on each also is very good. An Average of 4hrs is good for a secondary or tertiary console i don't need to be on if for long but the official site says it can last for 7hrs. Additionally I already have a Series S and plan to get a Slim PS5 if it releases. However I'm kinda on the fence as They could make a OLED and the Switch 2 may have a Lite model too but with how long it may take to come out and the fact i want to play on the switch now, i'm likely going to pull the trigger by this year.

    4:12 actually massively off if you consider that the 360 and the ps3 outperformed the switch, what does this mean this means the systems where able to output steadier frame rates with higher details. Everything runs on the switch, sometimes the witcher dips down to the teens in fps and sub 480p in combat, all that said i am thinking about getting one to play before i sleep. The games are genuinely fantastic and relaxing. mario vs cod, zelda vs spec ops the line. It was a ground breaking handheld and confusingly under-powered when considered as a competitive console in the market at the time. I genuinely consider getting a steam deck to play switch games as they run better on it.
