Nintendo Switch OLED vs Switch Lite: Which Should You Buy in 2023?

i have a regular Switch, might dowgrade to Switch Lite due to having no friends and it's light and compact!

What grip are you using on the switch light? Looks nice and comfortable.

PlayStation 5 and wait for Nintendo pro to come out in 24,25 or 26

I have the switch lite and the oled and I use them both pretty regularly. They both are pretty nice to play on. Idk which one I would choose if I could only have one 😅

I dont know what to choose. I wont be gaming a lot and i think i want to play only handheld. I really like the oled screen and it would be so good for zelda and other games. Im afraid it wont be comfortable for me to hold. The lite surely will be more comfortable but i dont like the screen.
Id like to try out in store but there is always some kid playing and my 17 year old ass is too shy to ask 🥲

Can you link to where you got your lite case?

I had a lite and i did really love it but the screen was something that i didn't like as some text i couldn't make out and had to use magnifying glass to make out some of the words. I do wish the switch had options for enlarging text with games on it. Personally i would love to see a new switch combines best aspects of both systems together. Though if get a thumbstick/joycon drift you can easily replace them with lite you have turn it it to get repaired but they just end up giving you a new switch instead. I do look forward see what the next switch be like.

Is "drifting" a problem with the Lite? If so, what's the protocol since there isn't an option to buy new joycons?

I have a question. If I have a lite and my friend has an oled, can we still play games together but from our respective switch. For example, for psp as long as we both have the psp then we both can play the game together either for battle mode or as a team. So is it the same as switch? I hope you understand my question and thank you in advance 🙏🏼

I have a switch lite I bought last year . I’ve wanted a OLED but I like the smaller all in one build of the lite. I only use my switch occasionally and it’s before bed or traveling . So I guess I can’t justify actually replacing with OLED . I wish Nintendo made a Lite with OLED and slightly larger screen 🤔

Hi I’ve been having a bit of a struggle with this lately. Been using my new OLED Zelda switch and I love it a lot. But I love Lite so much as in how it feels in the hands, the buttons and how well build it is. I don’t game a lot whenever I am gaming so battery life shouldn’t be a problem for me. Any advice? Do you think I should keep the switch and sell the OLED? I love both but I do like my lite. And the OLED

I have my lite for almost 2 years now and considering to upgrade into OLED. I only play casuallly and in handheld. Is it worth the upgrade?

I think they both great systems with their own pros and cons and at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference. I do particularly like the fact that Nintendo have brought out a budget friendly version being the lite so that even people that are strapped for cash can still get to experience all these great games.

The table top mode on OLED is Amazing!!!

Which one would be better for only handheld, but only for Fortnite?

lmaoo there is no competition or question that OLED Switch is the way to go... Switch Lite is obsolete and doesn't dock to TV, and buttons are mushy AF.

Good review thanks. I actually sold my OLED because I never ever used it docked on the TV but I miss the console generally so might just grab a lite as I only ever used my Switch in handheld mode anyway.

I have the OLED switch and I named her Petunia 💅

I have a launch model regular Switch, and a Lite. I only use the original model in docked mode, and the Lite for all my handheld gaming, which I do much more often. I love the size and feel of the Lite. I've been thinking about upgrading to the OLED at some point, especially with Zelda coming very soon, but I just can't justify it. I guess I'll wait for whenever the Switch 2 comes out.

I chose the lite because for me i really not missed the OLED features and i think im the person who needs a lite, im a casual gamer and no time to play sometimes because busy at work, no time for dock mode just want to play while resting on my bed.

Hello brother im from the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭

Since I have the original switch I bought a switch lite for travelling just feels like the better handheld. The OLED is a great system and if you don’t own a switch I highly recommend it.

are you from somalia i am

I really don't have many complaints about the lite so far. I could fuss about the pretty much useless internal storage. It's way too small and almost insulting. The battery life is pretty bad in my opinion. When playing something like Diablo 3 it's just not great. A couple of hours and I have to charge. It's a week old so it's not degraded. It's a really good device though. It's well worth 200 dollars. I'm very satisfied because I'm a pc gamer. I just don't use a tv to play anything really. I don't really use a tv at all other than background noise. That's why I'm still trying to convince myself to upgrade to a OLED Switch. I'm thinking about taking the Lite back and paying the extra 150

Ok for me it's just i don't know what to pick, i would like to buy the lite, it's cheaper but I'm afraid that it will have small screen for me.

O

What lite case is that ?

Even though the oled is better screen i use it docked 99% of the time. I hate how in handheld the joycons dont feel 100% connected and they wiggle so i have to use my lite

Nice review, I was planning to buy the Switch lite, but now the OLED is much worth it, since we can replace the joy-con incase the joy-con drift starts acting.

Honestly, the only problem for me is the price, so I'll just be switchless and save for the OLED, and will also play on my cousin's OLED when we're together (which is like 2-3 times a year since we live far away from each other)

I subscribed you bro have a good one

I hope playstation do this soon

I say switch lite bro
