Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

A video comparison of the OLED and LCD Vita screens

Another day, another Japanese store, another look at the two screens in action, after the fuss of the original photo. Besides the innate colour and brightness of the OLED its pretty hard to spot any differences, although when the camera pans left and right a couple of minutes in, it looks like the view angle is a little narrower on the LCD display, but that's kind of what you'd expect (and who plays Vita looking in from the side).

One thing I would like to know is, are the speakers any better? Smartphones have got a lot better in the audio department, and it'd be a serious benefit to play games without being camped in my headphones. Unfortunately in this loud store, we won't be finding any answers.
