An updated modification of the PlayStation 5 gaming console, made in a thinner case and equipped with a slightly more capacious drive. Like the original PS5, the Slim version is equipped with an 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor with a clock speed of 3.5 GHz, the graphics system is based on the RDNA 2 architecture from AMD and includes 36 computing units with a frequency of up to 2.1 GHz. The amount of GDDR6 RAM is 16 GB. The built-in SSD drive with a capacity of 1024 GB with a PCI-E 4.0 interface provides fast console and games. Users can expand the storage using compatible M.2 SSDs. The console supports both standard 4K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. There is also the ability to output to 8K displays. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology minimizes image tearing, providing a more stable gaming process. In addition, the PlayStation 5 Slim supports ray tracing technologies, providing more realistic lighting and shadows in games. The PlayStation 5 Slim features a Blu-ray drive that can play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Users can also enjoy media apps like Netflix and YouTube thanks to built-in 802.11ax Wi-Fi and Ethernet.

The enhanced Pro version of the Sony PlayStation 5 gaming console offers significant improvements over the standard PS5 and PS5 Slim. The console is equipped with an upgraded AMD graphics processor with a power of 16.7 TFLOPS, which includes 67% more compute units compared to the PlayStation 5 and faster DDR5 memory with a capacity of 16 GB. The central processor is an 8-core AMD Ryzen Zen 2 chip with support for 16-thread data processing. These improvements provide high performance in recent AAA games, which the regular PS5 often struggles with. An additional advantage for boosting performance is the new PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution scaling technology (similar to DLSS and FST), which uses a frame interpolation system and a built-in upscaler with generation capabilities that work in tandem to increase the average frame rate without increasing the load on the processor. The available SSD storage capacity has doubled and now reaches 2 TB, providing ample space for storing a fairly large game library. In terms of connectivity, the console offers extensive options: LAN, Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Bluetooth, HDMI, one USB C, and two USB 3.2 (one gen1 and two gen2). The console comes with one next-generation DualSense controller, whose key features include adaptive triggers and an updated haptic feedback system.

The brain of the device is a custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor with a clock speed of 3.5 GHz, providing performance at the level of the desktop Ryzen 7 3700X chip. The custom graphics accelerator manufactured by AMD is based on the RDNA 2 architecture and performance at the level of the Radeon RX 6700 XT, but outperforms the latter due to the use of unified memory. Sony PlayStation 5 Slim supports both standard 4K resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It is also possible to output to displays with a resolution of 8K. Support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology minimizes image tearing, providing a more enjoyable gaming experience. The device comes with a new generation DualSense gamepad with proprietary adaptive triggers that can change the force of pressing depending on the settings of the current gaming session.

A remote gaming device that provides access to games from the PlayStation 5 console via a home Wi-Fi network. The console is controlled using the same buttons and controllers as the DualSense gamepad. Dynamic vibration responds to the player's actions, and dynamic resistance simulates interaction with objects in the game. In the center, instead of a small touch panel, there is a larger 8-inch Full HD display with high-quality color rendering, high contrast and a solid reserve of brightness. PlayStation Portal is designed for quick connection to the PS5 console: just turn on the device, press the connect button and quickly start playing. In this case, the player must have an active PlayStation Network account, and the console itself must be connected to the Internet, in rest mode or fully turned on. For basic operation of the device, a Wi-Fi connection with a data transfer rate of at least 5 Mbps is required. The recommended speed is 15 Mbps, since the quality of the connection depends on the number of connected devices, the room, the distance from the Wi-Fi receiver and other factors.

Like the original, it works with MS Duo cards and UMDs and can be used not only for games, but also as a player and for accessing

From a technical point of view, this console is outdated: the processor frequency is only 294 MHz, the RAM is 32 MB, and the overall set of features is not comparable to the successor to the PlayStation 3. On the other hand, version 2 has long been one of the standards, and it is written for it a huge number of games. The set-top box can be used as a media centre for watching movies from DVD with 5.1 sound; in addition to optical discs, memory cards are also supported. The package includes a DualShock2 joystick.
