The differenced to ds and dslite?

Question

what are the real keypoint differences?

Answer 1

Differences in the DS Lite over the original DS

Weight: 218 g / 7.69 oz (21% lighter than the DS).

Dimensions: 133 mm × 73.9 mm × 21.5 mm (vs. 148.7 mm × 84.7 mm × 28.9 mm - 42% less volume than the DS). In Imperial units, the DS Lite is 5.24 in × 2.9 in × 0.85 in.

Extended battery life compared to the DS. With a full three-hour charge the battery will last fifteen to nineteen hours on the lowest brightness setting and five to eight hours on the highest brightness setting (both are dependent on the type of game activity).[6] After 500 charges, battery life can be expected to drop.[6] The DS was supplied with a 850mAh battery, while the DS Lite has a 1000mAh battery.

Brighter, more durable top and bottom LCD screens, with four levels of brightness. Designed to be more resistant to shock.[7] The option of turning the backlight off in the main menu has been removed.

Larger stylus, making it easier to hold[7] (stylus dimensions: length 87.5 mm × 4.9 mm vs. 75.0 mm × 4.0 mm of the DS). The stylus is now also side-loaded and located next to the power switch, making it easier to reach when needed.

In Japan, the wrist strap no longer includes a thumb stylus; in North America, Australia and Europe, the wrist strap is no longer included at all, though there is still a place to attach it.

The D-pad was reduced to 18.6 mm across (16% smaller than the DS), but the A, B, X, and Y buttons retain the same dimensions. There are lines on the D-pad, a design shared with the Wii Remote and Game Boy Micro.

The Start and Select buttons have been relocated under the A, B, X, and Y buttons, and are smaller than the original buttons.

Eight colors: Ice Blue, Enamel Navy, Polar White (Crystal White in Japan), Coral Pink (Noble Pink in Japan), Onyx/Black (Jet Black in Japan), Metallic Rose, Gloss Silver, Crimson/Onyx, and Cobalt/Black (see Colors below).

Different external extension connection, rendering it incompatible to accessories for the Game Boy Advance EXT2 port (power cords and headphone adapters). The new connector is used for the power cord only.

The power button is now a power slider and is relocated to the right side of the device.

The power and charging indicator lights are now located on the right hinge.

The redesign of the system has caused Game Boy Advance games to protrude out of the system by 1 cm. In addition, to provide a seamless surface and to keep out dirt, dust, and other debris, a filler cartridge is included.

The processors are the same as the DS, but made on a smaller custom process so they require less power.

The built-in microphone is now located between the top and bottom screens of the DS Lite.

Answer 4

There isn't a real difference between the two, but one thing you should all know, the Nintendo DS Lite is more recent than the original Nintendo DS.

The Nintendo DS (original) is a fat old brick that is used to play Nintendo DS games. The Nintendo DS Lite is a smaller, more compact paver that plays Nintendo DS games. The Nintendo DS Lite has a brighter screen than the original Nintendo DS.

The Nintendo DS Lite comes in more colours and also dual colours like the Nintendo DS Lite Crimson/Black and the Nintendo DS Lite Ocean/Black. They do the exact same things, just a better choice of colour.

The main differences between the two are:

    * Smaller and more compact

    * Stylus is at the side

    * Screen is brighter

    * Has a different charger connector

    * More colours to choose from

    * More accessories

    * Easier to find

    * Touch screen is easier to use

    * More durable

    * Power lights can be seen more easily when the DS is closed

    * Plays games much more smoothly

If you are planning to purchase a Nintendo DS, then go with the Nintendo DS Lite, you won't regret it, tust me.
