[[File:3DS XL Logo.svg|left|class=invert]]The '''Nintendo 3DS XL''' ('''Nintendo 3DS LL''' in Japan and '''iQue 3DS XL''' in China) is the second version of the Nintendo 3DS handheld. Similarly to the DSi XL, the 3DS XL has larger screens: the upper measuring 124 mm (4.88 inches) and the lower measuring 106 mm (4.18 inches), both being 90% larger than the standard Nintendo 3DS screens, making it tied to the New Nintendo 3DS XL as the biggest screen on a Nintendo handheld so far. The resolution, however, is the same. The 3DS XL also has been given rounded corners and digital {{button|3ds|home}}, {{button|3ds|select}}, and {{button|3ds|start}} buttons instead of the embedded ones found on the Nintendo 3DS.
