*The stylus is thicker
*The hinges are sturdier
*The D-pad is about 18.6 mm across
*The battary adaptor is completely different than the original DS and the Gameboy Advance SP so that means you cannot use it for the other handheld systems
*The power button is now a switch that you have to push up and down instead of pressing a button.
*The design of this system makes the Gameboy Advance games to stick out for about 1 cm.
*The microphone is now located on the hinge between both screens.
