The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The PS5 Slim Digital Edition combines powerful 4K graphics with fast expandable storage, but lacks a disc drive and broader backward compatibility.
What is good
- AMD RDNA 2 graphics deliver 10.28 TFLOPS with ray tracing.
- 1TB NVMe SSD storage is fast and expandable.
- 4K120 / 8K output and 16GB GDDR6 support ambitious visuals.
What is not
- Digital-only media drive excludes physical discs and Blu-ray playback.
- At 2.6kg, its weight is still substantial for a slim console.
- Backward compatibility covers PS4, not earlier PlayStation generations.
