Sony shared new PlayStation Vita tech specs today. Specifically regarding its battery life. Set for release on December 17 in Japan, the handheld will run 3-5 hours before a recharge, when gaming.
When playing video, the battery should last about five hours. And when playing music (in stand-by mode), it should last nine. That’s all, of course, if the screen brightness is set to default, Bluetooth is turned off, and headphones are being used in place of the system’s speakers. The battery takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes to recharge.
Additionally, Sony released a list of games for the handheld, which reveals both Atlus and Level-5 are on board with a Shin Megami Tensei game and unannounced RPG, respectively.
