The console also received a matte panel instead of a glossy one.
Sales of the updated PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console model have started in Europe, which is now completely made in a matte design.
In addition, if the PS5 Digital Edition previously had a 1 TB drive, the SSD volume in the new revision has been reduced to 825 GB, while the price remained the same.
I like it. The matte finish looks a little cheaper, but the gloss gets dirty and scratched quickly.
Evans also pointed out that the new model is 120 grams lighter than the previous one, which is probably due to the modified radiator design, made of thinner metal. At the same time, the power consumption and temperature of both models remained comparable, despite the updated cooling system design.
This is great engineering work. They took an already working design and made it lighter and cheaper to manufacture, while maintaining the same performance and thermal characteristics. They saved on production, but did not pass these savings on to consumers.
