Thanks to new software, more compact hardware and an excellent pack-in controller, the Xbox One S feels like a worthy successor to the older Xbox 360. If you already have an Xbox One, however, there's little reason to upgrade unless you're also planning on buying a 4K TV (or already own one).

U nlike the Xbox One launch , the One S decoupled the Kinect requirement, reduced the size, switched to the now premium pearl white look, and added both 4K and HDR capabilities to both games and Blu-ray. All of this and Microsoft also reduced the launched price when compared to the original.

Xbox One S
Microsoft has released a new Xbox, although it's not exactly a new console. The Xbox One S is a subtle upgrade to the existing Xbox One , rather than a proper successor. Don't be fooled, though, because it has more than a few surprises in store.
Pros:
- Smaller than Xbox One
- 4K game upscaling
- It's a cheap UHD Blu-ray player
- HDR compatible
- Improved
- grippy controller
Cons:
- Not native 4K in games

The Xbox One S review – smaller and more perfectly formed
M icrosoft's revamped Xbox One occupies a curious space in the current gaming generation. It's not because it's a sleeker take on the original bulky hardware – slimline consoles are nothing new, after all.

Xbox One S 2TB Console (4K HDR with UHD Blu-ray)
The Xbox One S is a sexy, slick game console and Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The compact, quiet, and capable hardware makes for a natural companion for 4K HDR TVs beyond the media players already on the market.

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 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.

The Xbox One was built with a specific vision in mind, and it was one that included a whole lot more than games. From streaming videos to dollops of motion sensing in the form of Kinect, it aimed to be the centre of your living room - much like Microsoft envisioned the original Xbox to be, when it...

- Gorgeous industrial design
- Sweet form factor
- No power brick
- Whisper quiet
Cons:
- Gorgeous industrial design
- Sweet form factor
- No power brick
- Whisper quiet
- Not available officially yet
- Robot white is easy to smudge
- OS concerns still persist
