Xbox One S is 40% smaller than the original Xbox. It also utilises an internal power brick, which makes the size reduction even more impressive.


4K Ultra HD format is supported. Hence, playing Blu-ray movies in 4K is fine.


Xbox One S is available in white colour. The 2 TB storage version costs US$399 in Microsoft's store.

Microsoft Xbox One S

The Microsoft Xbox One S is a very welcome upgrade to Microsoft's game console and all-round entertainment system. 40% smaller, and with an internal power supply, it's a much nicer-looking box.

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: Thinner, sleeker, prettier, better

It's tricky whether to recommend the Xbox One S. On the one hand, if you're already an Xbox One owner, it doesn't offer many new features above the original - especially if you don't have a 4K or HDR TV.

Microsoft Xbox One S review

Everyone loves a 'slim' hardware revision - and generally speaking, it's second-gen console revisions that tends to be the most successful (third-gen models can sometimes take the cost-cutting too far ).

All images: Alex Cranz/Gizmodo There were very few complaints when the original Xbox One was announced, and it failed to do 4K. In 2013 nobody really cared about HD's successor. Not unless they'd spent thousands of dollars on one of the few 4K TV sets available at the time.

Xbox One S REVIEW – A small step into the future

Microsoft's E3 presence this year was, in a way, not too different from their presence back in 2013 when the original Xbox One debuted. At both shows, Microsoft showed off a console that left people asking, "Who is this for

Microsoft Xbox One S

Update 8/4/16: Several spec teardown reports have uncovered slight difference in the graphical hardware performance of Xbox One S. Specifically, Xbox One S has a small GPU clock increase of 914 MHz from 853 MHz and an ESRAM bandwidth increase of 219 GB/s from 204 GB/s.
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: 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
