EARLY VERDICT:

The Nintendo Switch Lite is the perfect console for those who prefer handheld gaming that's comfortable and have never been sold by the Nintendo Switch's docked mode.

The compact and lighter device feels better than its predecessor and generally is less clunky. It's not quite as comfortable as the 3DS, but packing in the same performance as the Switch means we can let that slide.

However, anyone thinking about picking up the Switch Lite needs to focus on the fact it is intended to focus on solo, portable play and the number of games which are compatible with the device is slightly less than the original Switch. It is not simply a smaller Switch model.

But if you're looking for a more comfortable, lighter and overall better looking handheld device, and don't particularly care about losing the few games we've listed, then the Switch Lite is likely for you. Keep an eye out for our full review in the coming weeks to know for sure if the Switch Lite is everything it promises.
