A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/07\/us_law_firm_opens_switch_joy-con_drift_class_action_investigation\">class-action lawsuit<\/a> has been raised against Nintendo on this matter, and the company has started to repair impacted Joy-Con for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/07\/nintendo_will_reportedly_fix_joy-con_drift_for_free_and_refund_customers_who_paid\">free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although the sticks on the Switch Lite have a different part number, Spawn Wave is of the opinion that they are, in terms of design and materials used, identical to the ones on the original model.<\/p>\n<p>The teardown has also revealed that the battery inside the Switch Lite is 16 percent smaller than the one inside the original, and the battery life is maintained due to a more power efficient version of the console&#8217;s processor. The WiFi antenna have also been moved, presumably to improve reception.<\/p>\n<p>It is also revealed that the screen is made by InnoLux, the same company which supplies the improved panel on the upgraded variant of the original Switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update (23rd Sep): Interestingly, in this video uploaded by The Retro Future, you can see differences in the stick&#8217;s metal casing (which sits underneath the stick in normal circumstances).
