The Nintendo Switch Lite is a much more compact and portable variant of the original Switch. It's smaller, lighter, and has multiple downgrades in terms of display and versatility in general. However, it offers the same performance as its standard variant.

Here are the specs of the Switch Lite:

Specifications	Nintendo Switch Lite
Display	5.5 inch LCD, 1280 x 720 pixels
CPU/GPU	NVIDIA customized Tegra processor
Storage	32GB
SD card compatibility	microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC memory card compatible
Battery	3570 mAh Run time: 3-7 hours
Weight	275 g

The Nintendo Switch Lite gives access to all the 5000+ games available on the standard Switch. Display-wise, you get the same 720p screen but in a smaller form factor. The device has a 5.5-inch LCD screen.

Its processor is the same as that of the Switch. It has the NVIDIA customized Tegra processor, which offers the same performance as the other Switch models.

Battery-wise, the Nintendo Switch Lite holds up quite well, lasting an average of three to seven hours based on the type of game you play. For example, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild runs an average of four hours on the console.

One of the biggest downsides of the Switch Lite is that it supports only Handheld mode. This means you cannot play it on Tabletop mode or Docked mode.

Is it worth buying the Switch Lite during the Black Friday sale?

The Nintendo Switch Lite is definitely worth the $150 price, considering the features it offers. It runs all the games of the standard Switch and is a much more portable handheld. However, it is nowhere close to the original.

If you have an extra $100 to spare, we recommend you get the Nintendo Switch, which is available for around $249.

However, if you are on a tight budget and want to experience handheld gaming, it is a good idea to go for the Switch Lite.
