An Aging Screen

However, the New 2DS XL can't hold a candle to the Nintendo Switch. The top screen has the same 400-by-240 resolution as every other 3DS device. The Switch's screen, meanwhile, is 720p (1,280 by 720), which means it has nearly ten times the number of pixels as any 3DS device's screen. While it's much larger at 6.2 inches, it still has a much higher pixel density at 236ppi compared with the New 2DS XL's 97ppi. The Switch is far brighter, crisper, and more vivid than the New 2DS XL, by far. In terms of size, the New 2DS XL is only slightly smaller than its three-dimensional counterpart (the New 2DS XL is 6.4-inches tall while open and 3.4-inch tall while closed, compared to 6.78-inches tall while open and 3.7-inches tall while closed on the New 3DS XL –all other dimensions are the same), however, there are a few noticeable differences in design between the two.
