Now, Nintendo didn’t just release one console during the Switch era: It released three.

There’s theoriginal Switch, theSwitch OLED, and theSwitch Lite.

I’m taking a look at all three and comparing their specs to thenew Switch 2.

Dimensions

Right off the bat, all of Nintendo’s Switches feel very different.

That’s with the Joy-Con 2s attached, mind you.

Nintendo says the thickness from the tip of the joysticks to the ZL/ZR buttons is 1.2 inches.

It weighs 0.88 lbs on its own, or 1.18 lbs with the Joy-Cons attached.

The original Switch is smaller: It’s 4 inches by 9.4 inches by 0.55 inches.

(The joysticks to the ZL/ZR buttons is 1.12 inches.)

It also weighs a little less: 0.66 lbs without Joy-Cons, or 0.88 with.

Display

The Switch 2 has the largest screen of any Nintendo unit ever.

It comes with a 7.9 inch LCD, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

It supports HDR10, and has a VRR (variable refresh rate) of up to 120Hz.

There is no HDR support, and the display supports a refresh rate of 60Hz.

The Switch OLED, of course, has an OLED display.

But when docked, you’re free to push the console further.

The OG Switch and Switch OLED both support the same 1080p maximum resolution when docked.

to output to a TV, you need a dock.

The original Switch dock came with an extra USB 2.0 port, but no LAN port.

The left Joy-Con is 2.3 ounces, while the right is 2.4 ounces.

The left Joy-Con is 1.73 ounces, while the right is 1.84 ounces.

The Switch 2’s 5220mAh battery can run anywhere from two to 6.5 hours.

The Switch Lite (3570mAh) beats it too, with a range of three to seven hours.

All consoles charge in about three hours when they’re in sleep mode.

As such, it makes sense for Nintendo to pack more internal storage here: 256GB to be exact.

Switch 2 also supports expanded memory, but specifically MicroSD Express cards, which limits the flexibility here.

Switch 2 supports Wi-Fi 6, a step up from Wi-Fi 5 on the original Switches.

The Switch 2 also has a second USB-C port on the top of the unit.

This is a great change that makes it possible to charge your Switch with the kickstand out.

Audio and video chat

For the first time, a Nintendo console has camera support.

The Switch 2 also has a built-in microphone for voice chat.

Essentially, sounds should seem like they’re coming from where they originate in the game.

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, Switch 2 also supports GameCube titles.

It’s peculiar, but worth mentioning here, since the original Switch doesn’t operate that way.

Kickstand

Nintendo continues to advance the kickstand with each Switch model.

The Switch 2 has a kickstand that allows for even greater variety of play angles.

It’s not a huge change, but worth a nod.

You probably want that deal, as the game costs $79.99 on its own.

The original Switch retails for $299.99, while the Switch OLED goes for $349.99.

The Lite originally launched for $199.99, but you could frequently find it on sale.
