Quick question re PS Vita Slim

cuggie

Buying one for the boyfriend as a pressie as he is mad on gaming, and thought a good idea for holidays etc, but I'm worried the battery life wont be that great for the flight time etc

I googled and found the portable charger for £20 - but some are saying its not for the Slim - is there 2 different portable chargers or does anyone know if it will charge it ok ?

Thanks !

The Vita slim has a Micro USB charging port, the non-slim (fat) Vita has a funny bespoke charging port so one won't fit the other.

On the other hand, what it does mean is that any Micro USB portable charger (of which there are a great many) will fit the Vita slim.

I use mine all the time on holiday (while the other half is sleeping or getting ready lol) mine is the old version IE not the slim, but if i put mine on flight mode which i leave it on the for the whole holiday that battery last considerably longer. To which point it really isn't an issue at all, most of the battery drainage comes from wifi connections it seems.

so stick it on flight mode and it wont be a problem. don't expect to use it around the pool or the beach or in the sun in general, the screen is impossible to see when its being glared on.
