Nintendo Switch: Handheld or Console? It's Both—A Hybrid

The Switch is a hybrid console by design—no either/or.

• Handheld mode: 6.2" (OLED: 7") 720p capacitive touchscreen, Joy-Con attached. Play anywhere.
• Docked mode: Insert into dock → HDMI out to TV up to 1080p. Joy-Con detach for wireless play or use Pro Controller.
• Tabletop mode: Kickstand + detached Joy-Con for multiplayer on the go.

The seamless transition—lift from dock, continue instantly—is the namesake "Switch" moment. No separate saves, no syncing, no compromise.
