Xbox One S: the new gaming system from Microsoft

For gamers around the world, the highly anticipated newly developed Xbox One S is now on sale. For avid gamers who need more space, the Xbox One S 2TB Edition is available now. With a plethora of features designed to make this the best Xbox ever made, it’s the most popular system on the market today to accommodate this year’s onslaught of cutting-edge 4k TV systems. The design and additional specifications under the hood of this gaming system bring wonder and charm to this highly anticipated gaming experience.

Design

The design of the Xbox One S is derived with the idea of ​​being easier to handle. Using this concept, they made this Xbox One S 40% thinner than the last Xbox One released. Along with the sleek design comes the cutout for accessories like the power cord for Xbox One which had a large power supply. This power supply has now been integrated internally into the console instead of being connected to the external power cable. To make things more competitive, the new Xbox One S has the ability to stand horizontally just like its competitor, the PlayStation 4, which scores squarely against this mark. The color of the Xbox One S is “Robot White” to give a cleaner feel to this sleek design.

For Kinect users, who are used to Xbox One having its Kinect port as part of the console, this has been a major change. Xbox One S does not have a Kinect port and users who wish to use Kinect will need to purchase an adapter to use this gaming experience on Xbox One S. To replace this port, however, there is now a USB port on the front, with two on the back and an IR blaster port on the front. For this reason, Xbox currently offers a free Xbox Kinect adapter for users who wish to connect their Kinect device.

Great feature: 4K Ultra HD compatible

The biggest feature improvement aside from the sleek design is 4K support which previous Xbox One models didn’t support. Not only can you stream your favorite streaming networks on Xbox One S, but you can also use your 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray playback. For more people looking for a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, the player alone costs between $150 and $500. This full-featured console is priced at $399, which is just a $100 difference between the Xbox One currently on sale and the one on sale. To fully see the details of 4K Ultra, the only missing component is a 4K Ultra TV to see the details of the graphics.

HardwareDetails

The Xbox One S boasts its ability to handle 4K HDR images, including a 2TB hard drive. Later models will come with the ability to purchase a 500BG or 1TB storage option which will, in essence, also change the price of this system when hard drive space runs out. For users who want to reduce internal hard drive usage and expand on an external hard drive, that option is still available with Xbox One S, which has a USB 3.0 HDD port, which is standard on current Xbox One models.

The wireless controller also gets an update with an advanced grip feature that allows users to better hold the controller and drive in-game precision during gameplay. These controllers now work with Bluetooth technology.
