The slimmer second-generation PS Vita (PCH-2000) replaced the original's proprietary charging port with a standard Micro-USB (Type-B) port for both charging and data — a major convenience over the PCH-1000. A 3.5mm stereo headphone jack sits on the bottom edge for wired audio. Games load from Vita Game Cards or PlayStation Store downloads onto a proprietary Sony memory card. The move to Micro-USB means any standard phone charger of the era works.
The PS Vita Slim (PCH-2000) charges over standard Micro-USB and adds a 3.5mm headphone jack, dropping the proprietary port.

Notes & Compatibility
Modeled: USB Micro-B (charging plus data, replacing the PCH-1000’s proprietary multi-use port) and the 3.5mm headphone jack. The Vita Game Card slot and proprietary Sony memory card slot are media slots, not cable ports. Distinct from the existing PCH-1000 record, which uses the Sony PS Vita Multi-Use Port.
