I do not recomend to anyone to buy the fat one.
FAT has:
- Oled Screens that can be damage by time to time (static images, colofull wallpapers, the bright of the screen and some colors like white and blue may produces staints in the screen after some time for dead pixels) and also may appear some yellow stains in the borders of the screen.
- Oled battery is crap. People says it last 15 min less than slim wich is a lie. Slim has a far more battery, 1 or 1.5 hours more, not those extra 15 mins some people says.
- Oled Screen is not such an amazing thing, in fact theres no such a great diference because the oled tech of these consoles has 10 years, and these old tech compared to the 2021 OLED tech ones is crap.
- The directional pad is not so diferent between models but it feel a bit better in the slim model.
- The Charger cable from the FAT model is disgusting, while in the slim model you can just use any cheap USB-micro usb cable and it will do the job.
- The build quality of the FAT it trully feels more premium but is just an illusion and is only because the weight of the FAT model. The SLIM model is just 25-30 gram less. Thats all.
Like i said, FAT model gives you the illusion of be premium but is not, while the slim has a noticieable battery life and not the 15 mins more than the people says, a longer screen life (it might last forever compared to an oled screen withc techology of 10 years ago) a better directional pad and a of course the option of getting any mini USB cable as a charger.
And no, dont insist of getting the FAT for the quality of the oled screen because the diference is not big as many says because that oled panel from the FAT model was build witch tech of 10 years ago compared to the actual oled tech.
Dont buy the FAT, save you money and get the SLIM model because with basic care its gonna last forever, not like the FAT models and those screens that can be allready with some dead pixels.
thank u
still have my oled vita 😊
Thanks.
Thanks
You are so right but i think the best option is to have both 😂. Because if my Oled dies then I just use the slim 😂
This seriously comes down to preference. I personally prefer the oled screen and additional weight
Same
Same, feels like it has more quality
Agree, I like more the Slim, but both are great
@@lorenzomunozferia6332 The slim also doesn’t necessarily look worse, but has a warmer tone to it
The one with oled is the fat right ?
I haved owned both and prefer the slim because of the micro usb and the battery life. It is also lighter and I use a grip anyways so it feels great.
The Phat model. I used it myself, and it's generally more premium in comparison to the cheap plastic on the Slim model. In retrospect, the OLED model's higher quality comes with the cost of lower battery life, but i'm fine with that, because the Vita is made for the user to have fun.
Don't get me wrong, though, the changes on the Slim model were very welcome though, and i wish Sony made a 3000 model, same as the PSP, which had the absolutely striking OLED screen and the aesthetic (the matte designing around the buttons and d-pad, metal ring around analogs), and general premium feel of the 1000 model, and the MICRO USB cable slot, free 1 gigabyte memory, slimness, and ergonomics of the 2000 model.
Good point
Brilliant comparison, thank you. Very clear and easy to follow. Nice presentation style.
Thank you sir
thank you for making this bro!
i feel like selling my fat but now no i love it still!!
If you have the fat and buy the slim it feels like a downgrade
Nice review! I bought a Slim last year because I found one for super cheap. I had fun but I was not a fan of the design and wished it had a nicer screen. I hope to replace it with a Phat some day.
The phat is a bit more comfy and the screen is a tad better but the experience is pretty much the same.
You'll replace OLED with LCD screen eventually lmao
If ur vita is hacked there are some plugins/tweaks that can make the screen a little bit better!
Thank u bro, I'll buy the fat version
Good choice
can psvita play pes i am stucked on fifa 14 cant even download latest version
I am a big person on sound and your video was the 6th one I have found doing comparisons of the two models but the first to compare sound so I greatly appreciate that. For that I have subscribed!
Thank you very much, welcome on board.
Overall nice comparison, but one thing you got wrong.
By hacking the vita you can adjust the rgb range. It's not just increasing the saturation, with full rgb you just get the full saturation on things that are supposed to be fully saturated -> Increasing the dynamic range. The default rgb range is slightly limited.
Still not as good as the OLED
Doing it will reduce the life of your lcd screen i guess.
@@oldygoldy9920 how so?
@@TheOfficalAndI By making the color more vivid. Doing so will change the voltage that handled by the TFT. The more voltage, the more current (V=IR). The more current, the more heat. The more heat, the more stress the component will be. The more stress the component will be, the shorter the life expectancy.
Thanks for the review! Just picked one up on eBay. 👍. Thanks again.
Good comparison!
I agree completely about the micro usb. I see a ton of people make it a big deal when it’s pretty much a non-issue.
Exactly. Especially when the cable is £2 on eBay.
Not a big deal like u said plus u can get a micro to usb c adaptor
Nice work! Thx.
Cheers
I just got back into playing my PS Vita, have been a Vita user since 2012 & just downloaded Killzone yesterday because I was looking for a stellar FPS on a portable console. I skipped over COD and I'm glad I did because Killzone is an awesome experience. Thanks for clearing up which model is better. I have the PS Vita Fat OLED & am so happy that's the better of the 2 consoles.
Enjoy
Perrrrfect comparison thanks!!
Cheers
screen is clearly much nicer on the older model, but you can only see that with the models side by side like this.
best pick for those who only want to play is the first good deal you can get on either one.
Great Review! Thank You!
No worries
Terrific comparison! :)
Cheers
hello mate, sorry but i didn't understand.. can i put general memory card on both? thanks
Officially you have to use Sony's proprietary memory cards, otherwise if you decide to hack it then you use microsd with adapter
I personally like more the slim version much more ergonomic, lighter, micro usb, I really dont mind having a oled display since I,m focused con the game not on the screen color and accesories look better on the slim a 8 dollar silicone case on the slim looks so hot but a case thats only for the back part
Well everything you said is wrong because the Original one is way better, that's why is more expensive.
slim ftw
@Team Gohadouken its personal opinion lol no need for everyone to adopt you're opinion lol
@@teamgohadouken9713 and that’s also why the vita died. $250 for the 1000 model vs $200 for the 2000 model.
@@Rubestarr You gonna cry otaku kid?
Great vidya comrade! I am learning Russian in the UK, and your accent I love lol! :)
Spasibo!
Thanks for the awesome vid bro, i've decided to get the oled one in december.
Good choice
@@VoloKinProject Can i ask you something? How can you prevent the Oled Vita burn in?
Don't use it.
@@VoloKinProject don't use it too much right? Alright, thank you.
No problem;)
9:17 I don’t think that was right, the brighter screen one which is the fat you named slim and the slim you named fat when doing the audio test. Not a huge deal to me at all, but something I noticed.
Good spot. Video editing error but hopefully you got the point.
@@VoloKinProject Absolutely. Enjoyed the video fully. PSVita’s are the best.
I was just looking into buying and surprise supirse, saw yours! I trust you and what you say! OLED it is!
OLED, premium build and henkaku, that's all you need;)
I have the fat model and i want to buy a slim model or another fat model which model u suggest me to buy? Is there a really deferent screen resloution?
Resolution is the same, but the LCD on the slim feels like a downgrade of you already have the fat.
Awesome review dude
Salute!
Hi! What do you recommend for buying a ps vita or ps3? Please i hope your answer i have a dilema.
There are very very few games worth playing on the Vita honesty, so purely for gaming PS3 any day.
@@VoloKinProject Vita is good for playing emulators
@@alexojideagu any avarega android phone is equally good too
@@VoloKinProject But the buttons suck. You need a Bluetooth controller
True, the good old PS3 controller works like a charm.
I had a brandnew oled one i regreted it mainly i got thr black one the buttons on the front is hard to press ended scratches in front ...
I just purchased an oled model in great functioning condition. Battery life last about 4-5 hours of playing time. Cant wait to mod it! I also bought the ps vita portable battery charger so I'll be perfectly okay with battery life!
Enjoy
Only the fat has blue light on PlayStation button ?
*I keep asking around, and haven't gotten a response to this question:*
Does _remote play_ work better on one over the other?
Since they have the same soc and mainboard what do you think?
@@VoloKinProject I would assume they do the same, but revisions tend to have minor changes not pushed in marketing. The under the radar joycon revision changing the antenna location is a good example. So my question is valid.
There are no major hardware changes so it should be pretty much the same.
Great comparison. Everthing seems a tad better in the fat version but I don't ilke the charging port and dedicated charger. The micro usb is much better for travellnig etc
Is an oled screen really worth worse battery life no internal storage larger size and a weird charger. In my opinion no the slim is an excelent choice
I respect your opinion but it's wrong. Worse battery life, well, depends how much the console had been used. The small internal storage of the slim makes no difference as you'll need a memory card anyways and weird charger, again £2 on eBay.
@@VoloKinProject I agree with you. What is the most important part of a handheld gaming device? For me it is definitely the screen
@@josebosua1489 facts
I love my oled vita but the issue i have with the charger is the brick itself. The small grooves on the actual charging cable usb port? Those are for the brick because it has these 2 bar things inside the slot for the female usb port that slide into the grooves of the male usb port. Its extremely annoying but its not that big a deal when you can use the regular cable to charge it virtually anywhere. The brick is really the issue for me lol
Hi, probably did not mention important difference about missing internal storage in fat version (so you need to get proprietary Vita memory card to be able to hack it, while you don't need it in case od slim version, as it has its own 1GB internak storage).
Also, OLED looks more fancy, but the quality is actually in LCD (much more natural colors, much more friendly to your eyes for the long-run, better battery lasting and also longer life of LCD pixels).
I actually bought both of them in a very good shape (as I also like them both), but sold the fat one in the end to my friend. I really like them both. I decided to keep the slim one and am very satisfied. Also he is very satisfied, so everything is okay :)
For me the fat one is about "image" and the slim one about "practical" point of view (micro-USB, so you can charge anywhere without carrying your cable, better weight for better portability, if you want to take it somewhere with you, better battery life, etc., etc.)
:)
It's true they fixed some shortcomings with the Slim so pretty much everybody's happy getting the version they prefer.
What he said
I found the two versions
Ps vita fat and its price 98$
And Ps vita slim 108$
Actually i'm scared of ghosting because i faced this problem in all my OLED-AMOLED PHONES
Which one should I buy??
It's nothing like the phoes
Thank you for this! I now no longer have any desire whatsoever for the slim one 😂
The name of the two concerts are backwards 9:12
excellent video thank you very much. I will try to get the fat one from ebay japanese thing. I hope the screen won't be too bad because of age & use.
They are generally fine and you can't see the shadowing unless it's pitch black so yeah go for it.
The fat version not have hall effect joysticks? That means they may never drift.
Slim for me basically use it as a psp dual analog support really helps.
Slim for me. I prefer the phat but given age and availability. Slims are in way better condition where I live which is UK. While phat is more a premium product, it's devalued when it's full of scratched and dents. Only getting one to hack for fun. Getting a psp gen 1 too and pulling it to bits lol. Sticking in a pi zero, cm4 probably a bit too big unless there are dedicated boards to fit which is unlikely given how hard pi are to get ATM. We're having issues and rasberry pi is a UK brand in South of England.
If i hack my vita can i still use my psn log in? Will it be fine? Please respond
Dunno, never really logged with my personal account, no reason to really. Just Google it.
thanks so much dude that was really helpful!
i think I'm going to buy the phat lady
Salute!
He’s spot on with the proprietary cable facts, I’ve owned both vitas (4 total) I now own the original oled version and the cable for it is cheap I remember those things being expensive , all cables are being switched to usbc so doesn’t hurt throwing one cable in the car which is exactly what I did, one for home and on the go 👍🏻 slim is very nice but the lcd ruined it for me , not bad if a screen either but you can’t beat the nice oled 😩
Excellent video
Thank you.
I like your accent it’s very cool! where are you from?
Eastern Europe
where can i even buy one? i cant find one online ANYWHERE
Plenty on eBay...
@@VoloKinProject ok thanks!
Are this right the ps3 games deleting after a 1 month I,m not sure what I choice ps3 or vita
What?
@@VoloKinProject I mean what
I actually watched a couple of comparison videos between the 1000 an the 2000 and this video actually gives me the final decision 👍👍👍
Thank you for explaining the difference between PS Vita Fat and Slim. I already decided what to buy :)
Thanks for watching
im not sure, but when u measure the volume then at last comprasion u add wrong description.
I know, but you got the point
I bought the OLED phat version even after long deliberation. OLED is simply more beautiful to look at. especially if you also have an OLED tv. thanks for the video. best regards
Cheers
I have a 2001 ps vita I like it I have my system hacked planning to get it refurbished orange shell with white buttons and white back
Thank you for the vid..i know which one to buy now.. n btw it’s 2023 😂 which i have a steam deck already but however, i really wanna go back to retro games and vita would be a good choice
Is silicone slim also fit with fat version?
No
I just got my psp 3000 I had originally wanted the vita but I think ill eventually get the vita as well. Aesthetically I think the original vita looks better but I wouldnt really mind getting the slim.
Enjoy mate. I had the 3000 when it came out and sold it a few months later due to no games to play really.
Have you noticed any screen issues with the 1000? Just bought 2 fat. One black and one sapphire. Also a slim model in khaki.
The old one is good with the old screen but the weird charger is just off but not much of a problem
£2 on eBay, you can easily buy 3 and place then around the house/office/car.
Your english is soo good
You're the first person ever to say that. Usually people criticise my accent.
Buen análisis, saludos desde Perú
Yeah, the OLED model is the one I love most, as well. It was also the first one I got at release. heh Glad I ended up preferring it. ;-)
شكرا على الترجمة
I don't like to have oled burn afterwards so i prefer slim
Fair enough
Im wondering where you from, mate ? U got a brilliant accent.
Haha, Easter Europe
@@VoloKinProject i knew about it, cuz it sound so familiar, but i wanted to check it out. Thank for video.
The oled vita is still amazing!
Please somebody help me buy a vita. I want to buy one from Japan on eBay. I don't know which one to get there are ones that are b019, T019, OLED, slim. Also will ps5 games stream over to Vita ?
Does the slim take SD cards?
Originally no
@@VoloKinProject Thanks
Bummers that you didn't do a battery comparison, the slim is supposed to have an hour longer of battery life.
I don't know how old exactly are both consoles and how much they've been used before so not knowing the battery state the results may very greatly
@@VoloKinProject this is a very important point
Ps Vita Slim is my personal favourite but don't get me wrong the original is rlly good too
Yeah, the fat Playstation Vita is definitely more premium...👍🏼💯✔
The color accuracy of the OLED panel is absolutely garbage. Early mobile OLEDs were frankly terrible.
Still better than the cheap and dull LCD they put in the slim.
@@VoloKinProject Eh. The LCD is pretty decent. Far more color accurate than the OLED and has none of the mura or burn-in issues.
Ok
@@thanksbetotap Having both Vita models, the lcd one looks pretty bad in comparison to the oled. Of course the vita oled screen isn't near the quality of a modern smartphone, but it looks far better than the dull lcd of the vita slim. However the slim has nice features, like being lighter and the SD cards
OLED degrades waaaaaay faster than an LCD panel. And OLED screens will more likely to suffer from Screen Burn-ins, Screen Retention issues. LCD screens have way more life. OLED is way more immersive than LCD. But, hey, LCD all the way 👍👍👍
True, but most Vitas haven't been used much anyways so most of them OLEDs are still good.
Good to know
Honestly I'm getting the PS Vita slim because there's more accessories and I like the look of it better I just sold my 1,000 model
Fair enough
Pause at 0:26
Damn, the whites on the OLED are so much better
That OLED is nowhere near the new phones screens but that LCD is just dull.
My charger for my ps vita slim wasnt working very well so I used my samsung phone charger and it worked-
Well done
you drank any vodka after you finished filming this video ?
Smirnoff, with cherry juice.
This is krasi fifa long lost cousin
Грейт ленгвидж бетер, дядько !
Slim is still my first choice for anytime I want to take a vita outside. Fatty is a homebird for me.
Makes sense.
That doesn’t make sense to me, because the LED is brighter thus more visible outside than the slim LCD.
The LCD has better sunlight visibility. The OLED is too dark usually.
@@VoloKinProject
The LCD is the slim, right? I bought the fat LED used on eBay, and my screen is much brighter in the sunlight than my boyfriend’s Vita that has the slim LCD.
Could be on brighter images only, the dark is too dark even indoors on the OLED.
9:15 inversion ...this is the slim on left and phat on right
Correct
Dammit now I want to buy a vita but they're hard to come by
Plenty of them on ebay
oof, that mention of price didnt age well lol, went downhill from there. 100 MIGHT get you a japanese slim no box or cables now
Thank ya
No worries
@@VoloKinProject I thought ps vita's slim model is better than the fat model, like psp 3000 is a more advanced model than 2000. I was wrong
They just cheaped out
click bay if you come only to see the comparation screnne just junk to min 8:52
I read that the PS Vita wasn't really sucessful and you even mention people had it sitting on a drawer and such... I want one so bad but they are rather expensive in my shit country lol. I just wish I could get one.
eBay ...
The question is it worth it in 2021?
£100 in mint condition boxed - yes
@@VoloKinProject what does Mint mean?
Excellent
You definitely are from Yugoslavia.
No, but close enough
Slim. Longer battery life.
How much longer?
@@VoloKinProject 5,000 hours
You measured it yourself, right?
@@VoloKinProject I get a solid 6-7 hours on my Vita slim. It's a relatively new system so over time Im sure it'll decrease but almost a year later it's still going strong. Sony advertised the slim battery as lasting 6 hours and Ive found that to be true. I can go weeks without charging it. According to Sony the OLED Vita is supposed to last 4 hours which makes sense. That was the determining factor for me. I also like how it looks better.
@@TrojansOwl1 I'm happy it works for you
I know
What
@@VoloKinProject I had a console I don't know I think was fat and I destroyed it because I upgrade it to Nintendo Switch, that's why I'm nintendo fanboy

Screw the western games. If the psp ps1 and vita library aren't enough for you then you are spending way too much time playing games. I've got enough games on the vita to last me for years, and that's just the musou games and western games. the jrpg games will probably take me over 10 years to finish.
Why you have 2 that is not fair give me one of those 😆😁
I sold the slim;)
Dude, no offense, but have you tried even the slightest effort to pronounce that much softer English „r” sound?
Not really, no.
Which one do you prefer?
Did you even watch the video?
I'm glad you're having fun;)
