"Sleeker. Slimmer. Sharper." That's the promise behind the Xbox One S, and this streamlined device certainly delivers a heavyweight entertainment experience that matches the hype.


Size doesn't count

The Xbox One Slim is living proof that you don't need a monster console to have huge fun. The console is 40% smaller than traditional Xbox consoles but lets you do everything you want to do, and play every game you want to play. With its internal power supply and 1TB of internal storage, the Xbox One S is one of the most advanced Xbox models ever released.


Super clear, super real

4K Ultra HD offers four times the resolution of standard HD. Given that standard HD is pretty cool, you would have to think that 4K Ultra HD is mind-blowing. It is! It delivers the clearest, most realistic video possible. You can stream 4K content on Netflix, or check out an Ultra HD Blu-ray movie in stunning visual fidelity with High Dynamic Range.


The lowdown on High Dynamic Range

To experience richer, more vibrant colours in your favourite games, you really need High Dynamic Range. The higher contrast ratio between lights and darks means a stunning layer of visual depth is added to your games, making the experience truly dramatic and exciting.


You're in total control

The all new Xbox Wireless Controller looks as cool as it performs. The sleek, streamlined design, textured grip, and Bluetooth for gaming on Windows 10 devices, gives you greater control than ever before. You'll enjoy custom button mapping and improved wireless range, and be able to plug in any compatible headset with the 3.5mm stereo headset jack. This controller is not just new - it's a major leap ahead!

Xbox One S review: Great console, bad timing

There's no way to talk about the Xbox One S without talking about the console it's replacing, the Xbox One. So I will just start by saying the really obvious thing: the Xbox One S is what the original Xbox One should have been.
Pros:
  • Looks great
  • Smaller
  • 4K and HDR support
Cons:
  • No SSD option
  • Might be better to wait for Project Scorpio

Xbox One S 1TB White Console Forza Horizon 4 Lego Speed Champions Bundle XB1SHORZION4LEGO review

The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box.
Pros:
  • The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick
  • It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games.
Cons:
  • 4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error
  • The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor
  • Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017.

Xbox One S review: smaller, better, whiter

As you would expect for a system that is whiter than Santa's beard, the Xbox One S comes in a slick, minamilist, white box. Open said box and you are presented with a series of smaller white boxes, as well as the system itself, which is covered in - yep, you guessed it - a white sleeve.
Pros:
  • 4K Ultra HD playback
  • Slicker and slimmer console
Cons:
  • Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable

Xbox One S review: The right console at the wrong time

The ultimate question to ask about the Xbox One S is not whether it can do the job - it can - it's whether or not it's worth buying. And that depends on what camp you fall into. If you're a serious gamer that already has an Xbox (or a PS4 for that matter) then there's really no point.
