The Sony PlayStation 5 is definitely an incredibly successful game console with millions of PS users in its ecosystem. As you may know, the company updated the PS5 with a thinner design recently. This update drastically changed the overall design of the PlayStation 5 – slimming it down and making it more compact. Although the launch date is still a few days away, we already have a good idea of what it will look like, thanks to some real-world images.
PS5 SLIM vs PS5: What's the difference???
The actual images come courtesy of an X user (formerly of Twitter) @Zuby_Tech. As can be seen in the post, the original PS5 and newly released PS5 Slim models can be seen together. As you can immediately see, there is a noticeable design evolution going on. The newer console is quite slimmer and smaller than its older counterpart. This has been made possible thanks to a more efficient internal processor design. The weight is also 24% lower at 3.2 kg. Overall, the PS5 slim definitely looks a lot more portable!
We can see the glossy finish on the new side covers for the PS5 Slim (which also has a duo-tone design). Also, comparing the back and top of the PlayStation 5 Slim with the older model, from these angles we can clearly see that the new PS5 Slim is quite compact!
The company also introduced the removable hard drive. These leaked setup images revealed that you need an internet connection to pair the hard drive with the PS5 before you can use it.
