<P> A revised model of the Vita was released in Japan on October 10 , 2013 , in Europe on February 7 , 2014 and in North America on May 6 , 2014 . The revised model , officially called the PCH - 2000 series and commonly referred to as the PS Vita Slim , is 20 % thinner and 15 % lighter compared to the original model . While it largely maintains the original 's overall structure and layout , the original 's OLED screen has been replaced with a lower - cost LCD display . The model also roughly added about an extra hour of battery life . The newer model also comes with 1 GB of internal storage memory , although it is not possible to use both the internal memory and memory card concurrently . Upon inserting a PS Vita memory card , the system will offer to copy the existing data from the internal memory to the new card . This model has a micro USB Type B port , which can be used to charge the device along with any standard micro USB cable . The model was released in six colors in Japan ( white , black , light blue , lime green , pink , and khaki ) , although it was only released in black and light blue in North America and Europe . </P>
