It is also extremely light with 6.2 inches screen and 9 hours battery time with makes it ideal entertainment device that you can use anywhere.

However, unlike Nintendo Switch, the Lite one has no detachable controllers. It has a basic operating system, headphone jack, and 3 – 7 hours battery time. Even though Nintendo had to cut out some key features, but it can still be considered as an improvement on its predecessor.
