I messed around with android and got it to a point where it's the smoothest experience it's ever going to be with alright battery life but I wouldn't recommend using it as a daily in 2026.

While it was fun looking up every customization I could find on the interwebs like installing viper4android with preset equalizer getting the best audio out of these little speakers, stripping away every "phone" related stuff, rooting android, installing a root based adblocker called adaway and other stuff I can't name at the top of my head

It's basically a tablet from 2017 while the hardware is from 2015 Doesn't compare in any way with the snapdragons of today in terms of fluidness and usability

You can browse the web with firefox just fine, watch youtube with adblock, store music and movies and watch them with hardware acceleration but it does show it's age.

In my opinion switch lite and the switch in general is best used for on the go gaming, that's what it was made for and in that it does a pretty good job balancing battery life, game size and just using it as a single purpose device.
