Sony PS4 Slim, which was not announced last week, was exposed, and many device holders have been out of the box, basically becoming an open secret. The PS4 Slim model is basically a thin version of the existing PS4 console. It has made some changes in hardware details and still maintains the same level of performance as the PS4. PS4 Slim will be unveiled with PS Neo at the New York PlayStation New Conference on September 8th this year. Foreign media has even started to evaluate the PS4 Slim.
Sony PS4 Slim
Overall, the PS4 Slim is significantly reduced in length, width and height, with no change in game performance, but it runs cooler and quieter. Added dual-band Wi-Fi support with new DS4 controller, but no internal hardware changes, zoom-level 4K games, or HDR or 4K Blu-ray playback.
PS4 Slim Manual
The PS4 Slim has a height and width of 264 x 39 x 288mm, which is substantially smaller than the 275 x 53 x 305mm of the current version of the PS4. The height of the PS4 Slim is substantially reduced by 1/3. The rounded edge of the fuselage is more friendly. In addition, from the prospectus, Sony will also introduce official erection bracket accessories.
Gamepad
PS4 Slim has been accompanied by a new version of the DS4 controller. The most obvious feature is a thin strip of light on the top of the touchpad so that players themselves can see the colors displayed on the light bar. This is a very good change for many games that make use of the light bar feature. In addition, when the cable is plugged in, the new DS4 can directly use cable to transmit data instead of the previous cable charging + wireless transmission mode. This is quite useful for fighting games with very high input delay requirements. The ergonomic changes were also made in the center of the cross direction keys.
In addition, the biggest hardware change is that it is easier to replace the hard disk. There is a thin plastic cover at the back of the host. When you remove it, you can see the SATA hard disk, making the entire hard disk replacement process unexpected and simple.
The PS4 Slim host has a matte finish and more arc design. Some people think that it is better to look better than the glossy design of the PS4. After all, it is a matter of opinion. In terms of ports, USB ports are all placed on the front panel and are more convenient to use. The power supply and the eject button adopt a more explicit physical button design, and the original PS4 power supply's sucking fine light bar indicator has been changed to the LED indicator of the Slim power button. It is worth mentioning that the Slim version completely cancels the fiber port.
