Sony PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Console: Black

Product Information

The slim PS4 loses its optical audio port, which will be a bummer for third-party headphone users. The somewhat pricier PS4 Pro delivers a larger hard drive and the promise of better graphics. Power: the Pro edition has innovations that simply make it more powerful. In other words, it is faster and has a smoother refresh rate.

By opting for the Pro model, the difference in graphics will not be relevant when compared with new consoles for a few years to come.

Bonus: if energy consumption is important for you, the PS4 Pro is the most power-hungry in the series. Size & weight of the console: the Slim version is quite compact and light. The standard or original version is a little heavier. Lastly, the Pro is the biggest and heaviest.Graphics: Games look much better on the Pro model than on the Slim and the standard versions. And if you want to push image quality to the max, the PS4 Pro has 4K resolution, but you'll need to have a 4K screen to enjoy this feature. So there you have it, everything you need to know about this home console. If you want our opinion, there's really no need to invest in a PlayStation 5 right away. The range of games available for PS4 is vast and they are very well made - you'll have plenty to do for a while! We strongly recommend Horizon Zero Dawn.

Sony PS4 Slim review | TechRadar

The PS4 Slim is a deja vu game console: great for gamers on a budget, not quite as good as the PS4 Pro and skippable for any existing PlayStation 4 owner. If you don't have a 4K TV and you're a first-time PS4 shopper on a budget, the PS4 Slim may well be a great option for you. To be clear: There is no performance change with the PS4 Slim at all and you won't notice anything new or different when playing PS4 games. Storage: the PS4 Pro has 1 TB (1000 GB), the Slim version is available in 500 GB or 1 TB. The original PS4 is only available with a 500 GB memory.​So what's different about the PS4 Slim? For the most part, just the plastic body. It's rounded now instead of pointy at the ends and it's surprisingly thin. In fact, I wouldn't stand it vertically without the optional stand Sony sells. I also like the tactile power and eject buttons on the front left side. Sony had replaced the overly sensitive touch ones in later runs of the original PS4, but these are even better.
