The Nintendo 2DS has a slightly better battery life than the original Nintendo 3DS, but slightly worse than the {{bp|Nintendo 3DS XL}}. Due to being unable to be closed, it has a Sleep Switch. It does not have Power Saving Mode. Unlike the other Nintendo 3DS models, its speakers are monoaural unless using headphones. It is slightly heavier than the original Nintendo 3DS, but lighter than the Nintendo 3DS XL. It can take 3D photos, but they can only be viewed in 2D unless transferred to a 3D-capable system.
