The Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise is the handheld-only member of the Nintendo Switch family, in a bright turquoise finish. The Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise has its controls built into the body, a 5.5-inch 720p touchscreen and a weight of about 275 g, and it plays every Nintendo Switch game that supports Handheld Mode. It does not connect to a TV, and the controllers do not come off. If that fits how you play, it is the smallest and lightest way into the Switch library.

Why Pick the Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise
Turquoise is the most eye-catching of the standard Switch Lite colours: a clear blue-green body that is easy to spot in a school bag or on a sofa, and a common choice as a gift for younger players. It also pairs well with a clear or white carry case if you want the colour to stay visible.
The light colour hides small scratches better than a dark console but shows marks from hands and pockets sooner. A dry microfibre cloth removes most of them, and a slim case keeps the finish clean when the Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise travels loose in a bag.
Handheld Only: What That Means
Nintendo is clear that the Switch Lite is a dedicated handheld and does not support output to a TV. There is no dock and no video output, and the controllers are built into the body, so they cannot be removed the way Joy-Con slide off a standard Switch. That is what makes it smaller and lighter, and also what limits it.
Nintendo says the Switch Lite plays all Nintendo Switch games that can be played in Handheld Mode. It runs Nintendo Switch games only, not games made for Nintendo Switch 2.
Games That Need Joy-Con
Some games use Joy-Con features the Switch Lite does not have. Nintendo notes that when a game supports HD rumble, the IR Motion Camera or Joy-Con motion controls, some of those features are not available on the Switch Lite alone. Joy-Con controllers, sold separately, can connect to the Switch Lite wirelessly for those games, but you then need a stand or surface to hold the console.
Before buying a specific game for the Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise, check that its box or store listing shows Handheld Mode support.
Screen, Controls and Sound
The 5.5-inch LCD on the Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise is a capacitive touchscreen at 1280×720, sharp at handheld distance. On the left is a proper control pad (D-pad) instead of four separate buttons, which suits platformers and fighting games. Stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack handle sound, and an accelerometer and gyroscope support motion aiming in games that use it.
Battery, Storage and Connectivity
Nintendo lists a 3570 mAh lithium-ion battery with approx. 3.0 to 7.0 hours of play, depending on the game. Charging takes approx. 3 hours in sleep mode through the USB-C port. Storage is 32 GB, part of which is used by the system, and a microSD, microSDHC or microSDXC card adds space for downloaded games.
Wireless covers Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC for amiibo. The Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise measures 91.1 mm tall, 208 mm wide and 13.9 mm deep, or 28.4 mm from the tips of the sticks to the tops of the ZL/ZR buttons.
Local Play and Online
The Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise can play with other Switch Lite or Switch consoles over local wireless in supported games, each on its own screen. Online play and cloud saves depend on each game and on a Nintendo Switch Online membership, which is sold separately by Nintendo.
Who This Is Not For
Families who want to play on the TV: the Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise has no TV output at all. Anyone who wants to share one console for two-player games using the detached Joy-Con, since the controls are built in. Players of games that depend on motion Joy-Con or the IR camera, unless they buy Joy-Con separately. And buyers who want a larger screen or longer battery life, which other Switch models offer.
