amazon Sony PlayStation 4 Slim reviews

Design and control

PS4 Slim owns a parallelogram design, with a design that is similar to the Sony PlayStation PS4 but is slimmer, thinner, and softer. Accordingly, angles are rounded instead of sharp. The PS4 Slim has been cut short, and its thickness is only three-fourths that of the PS4. Specifically, the PS4 Slim size is 288 x 265 x 39mm smaller than the PS4 (305 x 275 x 53mm).

The entire body is grit-resistant as opposed to fingerprints rather than glitter on the PS4. The seamless front has no dividing grooves. Do not use the touchpad, Power button, and Eject on the PS4 Slim back to the physical keypad style integrated LED. Two USB 3.1 ports are located far apart – a small but worthwhile part because it makes the plug-in cable or USB cable more convenient.

The back of the machine supports the standard connection ports include HDMI OUT, LAN, AUX rearranged, and no longer optical port. Another detail from the predecessor is that the user can replace the hard drive easily and simply through the slot with lids on the side and back of the machine without having to remove the cover. The reduction in size makes the PS4 Slim look neat, the gap between the top and bottom narrows, which makes the dust harder to get into the machine (it will not be noisy after a few months), but the rear radiator has to be repositioned. Under the lid (still on the back). With the new structure, users should put the PS4 Slim in an airy space to better air circulation and help the machine life is higher.

On the bottom of the machine, inherently nothing special. However, Sony created the highlight for the PS4 Slim through the rubber base (tripod). The eight bases are made in the shape of logos. The keys “holy” square, circular, X, triangle are arranged symmetrically through the letter PS. This design is new and makes the PS4 Slim look more “stylish,” but the user has to put the same type of Xbox (requires to add dock) to show this face.

Comes with a handset with a handle, HDMI cable, micro USB charging cable, and a pair of headphones. The PS4 Slim’s DualShock 4 handle has a modern, eye-catching design. Feel the new DualShock 4 pretty comfortable. The buttons have good bounce, the keys L1 / R1, L2 / R2 as the grit to grip, when pressed or squeeze the trigger found “more” than the old handle. Both Start and Select buttons have been replaced with Share for sharing pictures in the game, and Option has a Start button. In the middle is the touch panel and button role (if pressed strongly). This multi-touch area has a flashlight with LEDs on the front (color matching game content) and a vibrator. This structure is both eye-catching and contributes to visual inspiration. And mount when playing. The handle has a 3.5mm headphone socket and micro USB port.

Specifications, performance

On the hardware side, the PS4 Slim has almost no change compared to the PS4. Machine equipped with 1.6GHz AMD CPU Jaguar, 1.84 TflOP AMD Radeon GPU (18CU, 800MHz), 8GB GDDR5 RAM, 500GB / 1TB hard drive (5,400rpm).

New PlayStation Dynamic Menu interfaces with easy-to-see and interactive iconic cubes, navigating like an HD Box with applications like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. Social networking capabilities allow players to connect to text messages and share video clips easily. However, many gamers find this interface is quite annoying. For example, some playing games will be interrupted by a message from another player. Although not released game, players still have to turn to the Homescreen to read the news. The PS4 Slim is a bit slow on the web, but this is not a big deal since it’s just a minor feature on a console.

Experience has shown that the PS4 Slim runs smoothly. Not only in terms of size, but the PS4 Slim also consumes less power than its predecessor. Try PES 2017 gaming; the PS4 Slim “consumes” 81W of power, just over half that of the PS4 (147.6W). That is a plus point worth of the PS4 Slim.
PS4 Slim does not incorporate so much content, but its compelling titles, top-notch graphics from Need for Speed, God of War, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and more. Call of Duty: Ghosts or Battlefield 4, PES 2017 sports … is enough for the PS4 Slim. In particular, when combined with Playstation VR, PS4 Slim will also add dozens of virtual reality game titles. That is a new direction that Sony will bring to the console to continue dominating the gaming console market.

General assessment

Not a completely new design, but the PS4 Slim changes are needed. A little fresh, neat, more reasonable in terms of performance, while the experience is fully inherited from the predecessor. For those who own the PS4, the Slim will not be a viable alternative; they need a powerful PS4 Pro configuration. However, for gamers using PS3 or Xbox, the PS4 Slim is the right upgrade option.
