A new model of PlayStation Vita could be coming soon, as a trademark for a redesigned take on Sony's handheld has been filed in Japan.

The trademark, which first surfaced on Twitter , provides any early look at the device. Unsurprisingly, it looks very similar to last year's 2000 model, albeit with the addition of what appears to be an HDMI port, as pointed out by NeoGAF user Jignx

The device doesn't appear to veer all that far from the first redesign, which scrapped the original's pricey OLED display for a more cost-effective LCD solution.According to a rough translation of the post, this new model won't mark the return of the gorgeous OLED, as the trademark -- which was filed earlier this month -- described it as "a portable LCD screen game machine controller."What would you like to see from this alleged redesigned PlayStation Vita? Does the 2000 model even need refinement? Let us know what you think in the comments.
