Basically Bandai's answer to the Game Boy with the power of around a GBA. It had three revisions
>Wonder Swan
Think of this like the Game Boy Pocket. It's black and white.
>Wonder Swan Color
Think of this like the Game Boy Color. It plays all WS games and had games exclusive to it in color.
>Swancrystal
Think of this like the SP. It's the WSC but it has a backlight (Frontlight?) and was the definitive version at the time for the screen. This didn't have any exclusive games to it, it's basically a WSC revision. Nowadays it's mostly irrelevant with all the screen mods for the WSC since it's way more plentiful.
The form factor was identical between all revisions, it was primarily the screen and its functions. It was only ever sold in Japan but got a hefty amount of games including a lot of really niche stuff like two Uzumaki games of all things. Tons of exclusive Digimon games were released on it that focus on our lord and savior Ryo Akiyama and explains him saving Ken in Adventure 02 and then what he was doing in Tamers. It's also where a lot of Final Fantasy games released.
Realistically it was a better GBA, but because they never released it in the west it's mostly an obscure thing even though it had way more staying power than even the Neo Geo Pocket or various Atari systems.
