Comparisons between the OG PS5 and the PS5 Slim are out, and some say the sleeker new design is “not that much smaller” than its chunkier sibling.
Dave2D has provided a detailed teardown of the brand-new console system, showing off the machine’s trimmer stature and the console’s new outer cover, which now boasts a half matte, half gloss finish. This means any panels bought for the original system cannot be used on the updated one, as it essentially has four separate pieces.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Dave2D made specific mention of the weight difference. Whilst the original version weighs in at either 3.9kg or 3.3kg, depending upon whether or not you have the digital version or the system with the disc drive, the new models weighs 3.2kg or 2.6kg respectively.
