Sony PlayStation 5 Slim: Features
The PlayStation 5 Slim is available in both disc and disc-less variants, offering a 30 percent reduction in size and 25 percent less weight compared to its predecessor. Boasting 1TB of built-in storage, expandable options are also available through external SSDs.
Design-wise, the console features four cover panels instead of two, with slits on each side for a distinctive appearance. The top sports a glossy finish, while the bottom retains the matte look of the original PS5. Sony has also added a bulge on the side to house the disc drive, which can be removed and replaced. Additionally, a digital version without a disc drive is available.
