New photos of the PS5 Slim compare it with the original PS5. We are entitled to a relatively compact console compared to its little sister, but above all much less heavy.
Announced on October 11, the PS5 Slim is not expected in stores before November. But a user on X (Twitter) has obviously already been able to get their hands on the console in order to take comparative photos with the original Playstation 5.
PS5 Slim: a welcome difference in size
It was the user @phantompainss who posted several photos of the console on X before deleting its content, for fear of reprisals, we imagine. After initial 3D visualizations posted on Reddit, these photos show the difference in size and finesse between the two consoles in real conditions.
The PS5 Slim is obviously less imposing than its big sister, even if the base of the console is just as thick with the physical drive. You can remove the latter to save space. More angular, it is a few centimeters shorter and is more refined on its upper part.
Note that with its current dimensions (35.8 x 21.6 x 9.6 cm), the PS5 Slim remains larger than the PS4 Pro (29.5 x 32.7 x 5.5 cm) with a weight similar (3.2 kg for the PS5 Slim, 3.3 kg for the PS4 Pro). It must be said that the basic console is already very imposing, it will be complicated to make more space within the chassis.
The PS5 Slim is expected in November, with no specific date announced yet by Sony. Price-wise, you will have to pay 450 euros for the Digital Edition version and 550 euros for the PS5 with its Blu-ray player.
