Lighter and slimmer, Longer battery life, Better access to touchscreen and touch pad
OLED screen replaced by LCD, No major upgrades, Still costs $200, Forcibly bundled with Borderlands 2, Forcibly bundled with 8GB card
The PlayStation Vita Slim is not a game changer in the console wars, nor will existing Vita owners sprinting down to the store to grab one right away. The new Vita is a good, conservative, upgrade. With the exception of the replacing of the OLED screen ...
Good back catalogue of titles, connect to PlayStation 4, slick design, cheap console, good battery life
Display has been downgraded, connection to PlayStation 4 not up to scratch, controls for DualShock based PS4 games are tricky
PlayStation Now launches at the end of 2014 in the US, and during 2015 in the UK. Once this service goes live things like the PS4 and the PS Vita will really start to come into their own. Until then the Vita does pretty well on its own. The back catalo...
It's a wellbuilt piece of kit that will appeal to many gamers, as long as they have the spare cash to afford it.
The screen has been downgraded from the original PS Vita, but the Slim's biggest problem might be finding a market
There's no doubt that the PS Vita Slim is a superb device that offers a much better gaming experience than your phone or tablet. Sony's problem is that for the majority, phones and tablets are good enough....
Slimmer and lighter, Comfortable to hold, Extra long battery, 1GB of internal memory
Expensive, LCD not OLED
The PS Vita Slim makes some welcome improvements on the original without much sacrifice. The main sticking point is the price, especially given that the Vita doesn't have an arsenal of games to rival the 3DS. However, we expect to see most retailers drop...

Lighter, thinner, micro USB charging, 1GB storage, Remote Play with PS4 is great
LCD rather than OLED screen, no 3G version in UK
The PS Vita Slim is best described as the replacement for the now two-year-old Vita. Because that's what it is, not so much a model for upgraders. There are some changes, not necessarily all for the positive, but the Slim isn't an overhaul of the V...

We've loved our time with the Vita ‘Slim'…it's great to use and makes gaming on the move a real pleasure. The PS4 Remote Play is a brilliant trick up the Vita's sleeve and is, by far, its best selling point.Although the screen has been downgraded, it stil...
That's a tough question, once you factor in the Vita Slim's £180 price tag. Though battery is improved, the screen is a bit of a downgrade. Though there's the convenience of microUSB charging, the 1GB of storage space onboard is menial.It's a good machine...
Sony has made some great choices in redesigning its portable games console. It’s 20 per cent slimmer and 15 per cent lighter, which doesn’t sound like much, but it feels much more portable and comfortable overall as a result. The console also comes with 1GB of internal memory - not enough for storing downloaded games, but enough to at least store your saved games if you’re mostly gaming on cartri
The biggest change to the PS Vita Slim is the screen, which is now a standard (and cheaper) LCD display, whereas the older model had a gorgeous OLED panel with fantastic contrast. The picture quality on the Slim suffers as a result: blacks aren’t as deep, fast motion isn’t as smooth, and colours don’t pop as well as they did on the original Vita. Unlike the original Vita, there’s also no 3G model
The PlayStation Vita was a technically impressive handheld thanks mostly to its brilliant OLED screen. The PlayStation Vita Slim model is therefore something of a step back, and the lesser model if you value image quality above all else. In most regard...
Refined design, Slimmer and lighter than the original, Longer battery life
Still expensive, Screen is a slight downgrade
The PS Vita Slim is still the same beast as the original, but it has been put on a diet, given a bit of a facelift and a new LCD screen. It's still a great handheld, but not an essential buy for people who already own a Vita.Next, read our round-up of the...
