More Details on Sony PlayStation 5 Slim
When compared to the older PS5, the new PlayStation 5 Slim is lighter and slimmer, as the name suggests. As claimed by Sony, it is around 24 per cent lighter, and there is a 30 per cent reduction in the volume.
The manufacturer also confirms that the console now features new side covers and those are glossy/matte in terms of finish. The storage space has increased marginally and now stands at 1TB.
As expected, the digital edition supports a detachable Blu-Ray disc drive. Meanwhile, customers who wish to opt for vertical and horizontal stands need to order them separately.
Various online platforms like Amazon.in and Flipkart will also list the PlayStation 5 Slim on their websites. Other than this, it will also be retailed through several retail channels, including Sony Center, Croma, Reliance Digital and Vijay Sales, to name a few.
