With the Nintendo Switch Lite offering a truly handheld experience for Switch users, many people have quite a few questions about the newly released version of the Switch. Does the Nintendo Switch Lite have a touch screen? If so, how big is it? We’ll answer those questions and more right here in this handy guide.
Yes! The Nintendo Switch Lite does indeed have a touch screen for users to make use of. While the Switch Lite does forego support for the Switch Dock, it does still include a touch screen for use in games and while navigating the console’s menus.
The touch screen on the Nintendo Switch Lite offers a 5.5-inch display at a resolution of 1280x720. It’s also an LCD screen, which means you won’t have the same pop as an OLED screen like you will find on many high-end smartphones these days. In comparison, the regular Nintendo Switch offers a 6.2-inch LCD display at a resolution of 1280x720.
Aside from that, there are a few key differences you can find between the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch Lite. We’ll go in-depth on those differences in a later article, but for now, you can rest assured that your new Nintendo Switch Lite comes equipped with a touch screen that should fit all your needs, even if it’s a bit smaller than the screen on the original Switch.
