Nintendo Switch OLED vs. Switch Lite in 2023

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 YouTuber 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. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I got my switch about last may. Went with the lite because I knew I was using it for portable gaming. I really like that it was solid unit without removable joycons.

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.

I love having both and find myself grabbing the Lite when I just want to play something quickly to pass the time. Just wish the battery life was better in the Lite.

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.

why does this guy have only 44k subs? a really clean and very easy to listen to video. video is top notch! i have decided to buy a lite one through this video. thanks man!

I just bought a Switch Lite and I'm really enjoying it. I bought it used for $100, and I can honestly say it's probably one of the best investments that I've made as far as a console.

I've had my Switch Lite almost 2 years and it's been amazing, and literally just bought an OLED yesterday and now this pops up on my homepage.

watching this upon stepping into 2024, getting a Lite now

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 have a v2, and i just bought a switch lite a day ago i dont regret buying it. the screen is better, and i got the pleasure and feeling of excitement like playing the PSP for the first time

[tyronejennings]

I agree with you. I own both the og Switch & Switch Lite and I use my Switch Lite most of the time except when I want to play games in tv mode my Switch Lite is my favorite handheld next to my 2DS, 2DSXL, 3DS, & Retroid Pocket 2

The only gaming console that I've ever had was/is the original Nintendo DS. I've been considering what exact switch to get for the past few weeks and after researching some articles and watching this video, I think I'll get Lite. I don't play that many games and I prefer hand-held like the Lite, it's also cheaper and more portable which is a big plus for me. Your video has convinced me :)

[nickieplease]

For me, a dockable Switch Lite would be perfect. Throw in better battery life.

[TheJosh]

I have both models but my switch lite is me primary use for handheld. For some reason the switch lite takes me back to the days of when I always had a console and a handheld.

[mihailoaleksic]

Honestly, I want the OLED because it has a better panel & battery and it's dockable, but since I need to work hard to earn that money, I may even buy the Lite for the games. And I also like that it's *smol*

[Rationalreviewer]

Excellent video. Resonates with old time gamers. Lite variant is the way to go

[EmmaMwriter]

Perfect thank you! We have two Xboxes in the house already and I was just deciding which switch to get for my birthday but I didn’t really want to spend a fortune and was initially going to just get the lite as it was a handheld I was after to play animal crossing etc when out and about but then someone mentioned the OLED and I got confused… I’m so glad I saw this! Convinced my initial decision was the right one and I’ve just ordered the yellow lite and a cute animal crossing case!
