It has been three years since Microsoft released the popular Xbox One. Now, the company is back with the Xbox One S, which is a redesigned evolution of the first console.
The right mixture and combinations of hardware inside let the Xbox One S make the most out of a 4K television for games and videos. Gamers with lots of games could now find themselves having to uninstall games to make room for new ones less often than before. The Xbox One S is also both smaller and quieter than the Xbox One. Starting at $299, it comes in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB model variants. There's also a new wireless controller that supports Bluetooth in the box as well.
Lots of Xbox One owners have already rushed to stores in order to replace their aging Xbox Ones. With that being said, here are 3 main reasons why you should also buy the newest Xbox console.
Hardware is overall lighter than Xbox One
Internal-wise, the Xbox One S looks more approachable compared to the previous model. Available in white, red, blue or green, and depending on which bundle you buy, the console is much less unwieldy. It's visible 40% smaller than the original Xbox One, as well as lighter too.
Same improved console
The Xbox One S is a complete revision of the original console, and not an outright new piece of hardware. It may look fresh, but its software isn't. All the games that you can play on the Xbox One, can also be playable on the Xbox One S. All the apps that you can download on the original are also available here.
4K & HDR ready
Arguably the most important upgrade of the Xbox One S is the availability for 4K video and gaming support with HDR. The Xbox One S offers huge improvements over watching HD video on the Xbox One. With features such has HDR10, colors have a wider range compared to the Xbox One.
