Nintendo DS Lite Specification

The Nintendo DS Lite, launched as a refined version of the original Nintendo DS, offers a sleek and compact design with enhanced features tailored for an improved handheld gaming experience. It measures approximately 133mm in width, 73.9mm in height, and 21.5mm in depth, making it more portable than its predecessor. The device weighs around 218 grams, ensuring ease of handling during extended play sessions.

The DS Lite is equipped with two TFT LCD screens, each measuring 3 inches diagonally, with a resolution of 256x192 pixels. The lower screen is touch-sensitive, allowing for intuitive interaction with games and applications via a stylus. The system's top screen provides a bright and clear display with adjustable brightness settings, enhancing visibility across various lighting conditions.

Powered by dual ARM processors, the DS Lite features a main ARM9 processor running at 67 MHz and a secondary ARM7 processor at 33 MHz. This configuration supports robust performance across its wide range of software titles. The device offers backward compatibility with Game Boy Advance cartridges, expanding its library significantly.

The DS Lite includes built-in stereo speakers offering virtual surround sound, and also supports headphone connectivity for private listening. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery offers 15 to 19 hours of gameplay on lower brightness settings, with a recharge time of approximately three hours. Connectivity options include wireless IEEE 802.11 for multiplayer gaming and online features, although online support is limited due to server discontinuation.

The DS Lite's design incorporates a clamshell mechanism that protects its screens when closed, and its intuitive interface and durable build quality make it a standout choice for gamers seeking a portable and versatile gaming console.
