The new PlayStation Vita model features a micro USB port that supports charging the handheld using standard smartphone cables.
Sony president Shuhei Yoshida posted a photo on Twitter showing off the PS Vita 2000’s new addition.

The Vita 2000 line was announced last month ahead of Tokyo Game Show, and launched in Japan last week. Sony has yet to officially mention anything regarding a western release for the device.
