Back in November 2019, Nintendo slapped a more efficient battery into the base model, which means that newer Switches simply have more battery life than older models do. This calculus changes, however, depending on whether you have a launch-model Switch (from 2017 or 2018) or a refreshed Switch (from late 2019 to the present). It's organic light-emitting diode display, the same type of tech you'll find on the best phones, offers a much brighter, more contrast-heavy and color rich display that its stable mates. Both have the same LCD technology, and deliver reasonably impressive screens that have decent brightness and a good range of colors.īut if you want the best Switch screen you need to go for the Switch OLED. That's trumped by the standard Switch's display, which measures in at 6 inches. The Switch Lite has the smallest display coming in at 5.5 inches.

All three are different sizes, with the Switch OLED naturally having a different panel. The biggest differences between all three Switch models comes from the display. The Switch Lite does have one big benefit over its bigger brethren, though: an actual D-Pad rather than four uncomfortable directional buttons. The controls are also hardwired into the console, so there are no Joy-Cons to remove.
