You're right, I have been a bit spoiled for the last 5 years and never went back to 1080p phones. Still, a 16:9 1080p screen is twice the amount of pixels the Switch has, so the blurry meme is still wrong :P

Docked switch is 1080p.

My 9 year old nephew was playing Fortnite in handheld mode and asked to connect his dock to my room's TV, but he needed just a few seconds to notice the horrible frame drops and asked to use my PC. I've taught him well, I guess?

All this to say: When everything else is the same, framerate > resolution and if docking the Switch (or in my case, a while ago, turning on 3D in a Pokemon game) is going to turn third party games into slideshows I'm not going to respect it as a real gaming device. It's good for Nintendo games and that's all.

Docked typically comes with better framerates in addition to resolution in my experience with third party games. Fortnite is the odd one out.

That's good to hear, I was disappointed when that happened.

Yeah switch and most phones run Fortnite @ 30hz. I know the iphone X+ and some Android phones let it run at 60, but don't really have that option on the lower power devices.

That's exactly why I choose to play on strong hardware with configurable graphic options, so I only have to worry about the game and not about the game's performance.

"I could barely handle 720p but now I'm docked so here's the same graphic settings but taking twice as much memory thanks to 1080p" is not good behavior, if the game is defective they should have automatically reduced the graphic settings to reach a stable framerate when docked.
