4K Ultra HD playback
Slicker and slimmer console
In short
The engineering team at Microsoft deserves a standing ovation. Condensing everything inside the original Xbox One – as well as the massive power brick – into a framework 40% of the size is a feat of engineering
And while not every gamer will be

The editors didn't like
Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable
While there's never a great time to unveil a smaller
More powerful system to someone who's just purchased one of the now second-tier original consoles
Now seems like a particularly rough time
Ditching the Kinect port entirely might be the final indicat
4K HDR images lack subtlety
Lean sound
Can't pass-through 4K video
Incompatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS
X
Unintuitive menus
Price tag isn't justifiable
Not for those who prefer discs
Looks the same as the Xbox One S
Games are more expensive
No 4K Blu-ray or DVD support
No Kinect port
4K
Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs
And may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio
The more powerful Xbox One successor
Arrives in late 2017
No support for true 4K gaming
Technical specifications largely unchanged from Xbox One
No Kinect port (if that is
Indeed
A con)
Will be superseded by Project Scorpio console next year
Doesn't give you 4K gaming
Slightly slower in operation to its beefier One X sibling
Not cheap enough to justify dropping the disc drive
Xbox UI is still clunky
Xbox One S with drive is a similar price
Needs adapter for Kinect
Could fragment Xbox One audience
Gaming is not improved by much so few reasons to upgrade bar 4K video
Needs extra 4K app support from the likes of Amazon
No native Kinect port
The vertical stand is a £15 add-on. Though quite than its predecessor
It's still not 100% silent. No built in voice control support. HDR gaming isn't widely supported yet

No. If you have a complete aversion to physical media or want a game console in a second room, you might get your money's worth, but the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition will need to be priced lower before it becomes worthwhile beyond those two scenarios.E...

Price tag isn't justifiable, Not for those who prefer discs, Looks the same as the Xbox One S
(Image credit: TechRadar)When the Xbox One S arrived three years on from the original Xbox One, it offered smaller, quieter, higher-quality gaming machine. It soon became the de facto Xbox system. But since then we've seen the release of the powerhouse Xb...

That's what it all really boils down to. The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is actually an excellent gaming machine that, when coupled with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, provides a perfect jumping-in point for those who haven't had an Xbox One before.Ho...

Signifikant reduktion av både storlek och vikt, Strömma i 4K och HDR, Spela med underbart HDR-förbättrat färgdjup
Behöver en adapter för Kinect, Spelande i 4K begränsas till uppskalning
Xbox One S är en utmärkt och kompetent konsol som på många sätt är vad Microsoft ville skapa med original Xbox One. Den är liten, kraftfull, billig och har gott om spel. Den är så klart inte lika stark som Xbox One X, men S erbjuder ändå uppskalad 4K och...

Doesn't give you 4K gaming, Slightly slower in operation to its beefier One X sibling
As an entry-level console, the Xbox One S comes jam packed with great features and offers a smooth user experience.It is well worth considering if you are looking for something to spin Ultra HD Blu-rays and haven't taken the plunge yet. Even if you have a...

If you've been waiting to buy a new games console, the Xbox One S is the one to get. While the addition of a Bluetooth player and HDR gaming support is nice, the amazing feat of the Xbox One S is so much power in such a tiny, beautiful design. However, th...
Abstract: Another design difference is that the Xbox One X is very slightly slimmer than the Xbox One S, measuring 300 x 240 x 60mm, to the Xbox One S’s 295 x 230 x 64mm.However, even though the One X is only slightly slimmer, the console is far more dense than eve...
If you're looking for a console that can provide the best possible gaming experience on a console at the moment, the PlayStation 4 Pro with its enhanced graphics, frame-rate and resolution is a good choice - although it doesn't feature a 4K Blu-Ray player...
For most people the Xbox One S will prove a better purchase than the Scorpio. It's cheaper, it runs the same games, and you can grab one right now - or wait for the price to potentially drop even further once the One X is out. Still, if you're the type to...
Superb 4K playback, Decent build quality, It's also a games console, Great price
Noisy and slow in playback, Game controller not ideal remote, Only one HDMI output, No Dolby Vision support, No analogue audio, No display
If you're in the market for a games console but also want Ultra HD Blu-ray playback, it's a bit of a no-brainer, in fact the Xbox One S is currently your only option. However even if you're not interested in the gaming aspect, it's still worth considering...
