The slimmer Vita, which is arguably the better Vita, didn't have an OLED display.
Arguably, only because it didn’t have an OLED display.
No, but it's much nicer to hold, comes in a bunch of cute colours, has a 1GB internal memory (so you can actually save games without immediately buying one of the dumb memory cards) and uses a standard charger.
1GB is near useless for the Vita. I think Killzone had an 8GB day one patch or something? FFX/X-2 only had X on the cart so you needed to download X-2 anyways and it wouldn't fit in a gig. Plus a ton of games skipped retail releases outside Asia or just in general like Minecraft. My 1000 series came with a 4GB card in a bundle for the same price. I still upgraded it soon after because it got filled fast.
It’s arguably slimmer or arguably better because it didn’t have an OLED? I guess I was under the impression that other than lifetime and pricing, OLEDs were the best displays available right now in terms of quality, efficiency, and thickness.
Sorry, I was perhaps being a bit too clever with my comment. I meant, the only reason the Slim is only "arguably" better, as opposed to "clearly better", is because of the lack of OLED.
