The hand-held only variant has been revealed to the public.

Full Summary for the Switch Lite:

• Retailing for $199.99.
  
• 3 Color Variants (Yellow, Blue and Grey) available at launch with a Pokemon SW&SH variant coming in November.
  
• No TV connectivity/dock, the Lite is an exclusively handheld device.
  
• The "Joy-con" are built into the system and are not detachable.
  
• Regular Joy-Con are compatible but are not bundled with the system.
  
• Additional Joy-Con are required to play games such as 1-2 Switch. (Which require the detached Joy-Con to play.)
  
• Nintendo suggests looking at the back of the game box to see if a game is compatible with Handheld mode.
  
• The Eshop will warn you if you try to download a game that requires detached Joy-Con.

• Does not feature a Kickstand, IR Camera or Rumble.

• Data will be transferable between the current Switch hardware and the Lite.
  
• The Lite is a "lower-cost spin-off" of the Switch, rather than a Sequel/Replacement.
  

I layered the comparison photo from switch.nintendo.com so we can get a good idea how small the Lite is compared to the regular Switch.
