Review on Sony PS Vita WiFi by Van Chay ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

The console is very well assembled, everything is in place, a lot of functions (by the standards of the console). Do not expect smartphone functionality from her - she was not created for this. The only thing I don't like is that there are still few games and how Sony forces you to buy memory cards (which cost much more than microSD). Otherwise, it remains only to wait for more sensible games. To begin with, I recommend everyone to take Gravity Rush - the most worthy of the exclusive games.

Pros
  • 1) The charger, or rather the fact that the adapter itself with a USB output is not made in the plug itself, but on the wire. I plugged it into a power outlet, and brought the USB out, that is, you don’t need to reach for charging. Well, charging via USB from any other device is also a big plus, since it is enough to put only the wires in the case with you. 2) Compared to the PSP counterparts are great, the D-pad and front buttons are very pleasant to press. A clear click, not a soft push, plus the buttons do not stagger. 3) The size and location of the buttons. I was afraid that they were too small, but it turned out to be just right, although they seem to be even slightly smaller than those of the DS / 3DS. 4) Ability to take screenshots by holding two buttons (similar to current smartphones) 5) Multitasking, although sometimes limited (when launching some applications, network functions are disabled or something like that) 6) The browser is quite good, even though it can do nothing besides simple page browsing. To sit on the forum and read the news is enough. 7) Console design. Unlike the PSP and DualShock 1-3, the design of the Vita is more elegant, fluid, and perhaps creative, as is the design of the DualShock 4. There is a thoughtful approach to this issue. 8) Of course, the screen. Viewing angles, clarity at a height, although I saw reviews where someone was dissatisfied with the ladders on the menu. They should show 3DS XL . 9) Organization of the menu. Everything is smooth and comfortable (shortcuts are ideal for tapping with a finger due to the size and distance between them). At first I turned on the control in the menu with the buttons, but then I realized that it was more convenient with my fingers. 10) She is light, especially for her size.
Cons
  • 1) I immediately turned off the back panel in the browser - it interferes, touched with my fingers. 2) Although analogues are good, they are still too small. After the rear touch panel, this is the only claim to control. 3) Skype for some reason was deprived of a chat. 4) Glossy on all sides. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine Vita matte. 5) The uselessness of the console without an inserted memory card (you can't even run games). It was also possible to build in a miserable 256 MB of memory for saves and photos. Buy a memory card now. 6) No built-in entertainment other than a tutorial. That is, before buying games and a memory card, there is nothing to do with the console, except to set it up and put it on the shelf. On the 3DS, for example, three games are built in at once.
