Though the company has not named it PS5 Slim, it has become a very common name in the gaming community. The PlayStation 5 is very compact in itself, but the slim version pushes it to new heights. The new PS5 Slim has 30% less volume and 18-24% lighter than its predecessor. The Slim and compact PS5 will be easy to carry anywhere without compromising on the gaming experience. There's also a glossy finish on the top, with the bottom remaining in the matte style as the original models.

Enhancements in PS5
The new console comes with an increased SSD storage of 1TB as compared to 825GB. With this extra capacity, you will be able to download more of your favorite games. The PS5 Slim has an enhanced connection with two USB-C connectors on the front, one of which is a 10Gbps port, and two USB-A ports on the back.
How Much PS5 Slim will Cost
Depending on the model you go for, the "PS5 Slim" will cost between $449.99 and $499.99, which is similar in price to what the original models launched at.
The HD Blu-ray disc drive which is a crucial feature of this new model, will be available separately for $79.99.
