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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement.

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.
