Nintendo DS Lite vs. Nintendo DS: The Differences
The pink DS Lite was a redesign of the original Nintendo DS model. The former was manufactured to be sleeker than the latter. DS Lite consoles are about 21% lighter from the DS model having a weight of 218 g or 7.69 oz. It also has 42% lesser volume than the original DS model. DS Lite units were also equipped with extended battery life which lasts around 15 to 19 hours when used on the lowest brightness setting, while the old DS’s battery will only last for about 10 to 14 hours in the same conditions. The original DS model offers its users to turn the backlight on and off in the main menu. However, this feature has been removed in pink DS Lite units and other colors available for the DS Lite. DS Lite consoles are designed in such a way that they will be more resistant to shock, with brighter top and touch screens having brightness of up to 4 levels.
The pink DS Lite is just one of the available colors for the DS Lite. Other colors include Enamel Navy, Polar White, Red, Onyx, Gloss Silver, Ice Blue, Cobalt, Green, Turquoise, Crimson and Metallic Rose. DS Lite units come with a larger and more considerable stylus, which makes them easier to hold and use. The stylus is placed adjacent to the power switch, which makes it easier to reach for right-handed users, however, this design s not favorable to those let-handed consumers. The D-pad size of the DS Lite models was also made smaller to 18.6 mm across, while the buttons A, B, X, Y are still left unaltered.
