PlayStation Vita Review

Alright for now there a new PS vita have already been sold in Hong Kong so i will review you guy about system and hardware of this zone

5 inch touch screen

PS vita used a OLED screen of Samsung which is dominance in brightness and have a high detail screen , that can make you play better in a sun-light however if the sun-light so bright, you may still got a glare problem. The color contrast of the screen was great , can differentiate the color so well , and the multi-touch screen support a zoom in and out by two finger like a smart-phone and the interact is smooth.

Back touch pad

It was a pad at the back of the body that used like a touch pad of  notebook but it at the back of PS Vita body, so it ‘s quite hard to use and most of games doesn’t use this system

Dual Analog Stick

The size of analog stick was good and slightly high than the analog stick of PSP 3000 so I feel more comfortable and the position of the dual stick had a good balance. Because of you got two analog stick so you can play a FPS game easily like you play from PS3 , one for movement and one for aim , however it still have some problem like went you dash, you have to push very quickly.

Camera

PS vita got 2 camera at the front and the back which is a VGA camera with 0.3 MP resolution, As you can see the resolution was low so don’t expect to use for a high resolution purpose, it’s only use for take a picture of your own photo in order to used in some support game, which is now have not much game

Battery and charging system

Battery had a 2210mAh capacity that close to PSP3000 ,it will take  about  2hour 40 min to fully charge and you can play about 3 and a half hour when adjust the brightness to maximum and used off-line mode.

PS Vita Card Slot

A slot for insert card game in the top of it.  Size of a card was equal to Mini SD Card and a slot had a lid which ‘s quite hard to open . And a card  used a spring system just like DS and 3DS.

Memory Card Slot

In a bottom of PS vita had a memory card slot which size was close to Micro SD Card, Not only used for memorized multimedia file but also used to memorized a save game and game that was downloaded form PSN. Beside some said that some game will not able to play if there ‘s no memory card.

Power socket and USB

It liked PSP Go and a transformer is support electricity system of all around the world but plug size of a wire was able to plug in from both front and back size so it maybe make you confuse,if you plug it in wrong size it would not work, you could notice it from a PS sign at a wire ,

D-pad

A cross-like bottom that used to control movement, even it smaller that PSP but it used same axis of cross so I think I easier to use

Sensors

Six-axis motion sensing system (three-axis gyroscope, three-axis accelerometer) used like a iphone, for a game that you have to slightly bend your PS vita , like a steering car in racing game for example.
