The editors liked
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Will be superseded by Project Scorpio console next year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
My official ranking overall? The Xbox One Elite controller on top, then the Xbox One S, Xbox 360, and in last place the original stock Xbox One controller. The Elite still has quite a bit going for it—even after almost a year of use, my Elite's analog sti...

For me, the One S is the equivalent of retooling an American automobile for the European market, shrinking it down while adding the latest gizmos to appeal to a fresh audience.For PC fans who already happen to own an Xbox One and don't own a 4K TV, I'd sa...

Abstract: Opinion to all GadgetsIf you're a gaming enthusiast you'd most probably be aware of the top brands that sell popular gaming systems like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. Consoles from these manufacturers engrain and inspire gamers due to the creative cornuc...
Top features, Sleek and chic design, HDR and Blu-ray support, Strong performance
The 500GB version of the Xbox One S is priced At Rs 29,990 - and perhaps you can get it for even less on e-commerce websites - and it's clear that Microsoft has a winner on its hands. It's a great looking console that will cater to the needs of most gamer...
Abstract: The wait has been long, but we finally have a version of the Xbox One that I can get behind. Though it's been available globally for about a year, the Xbox One S was launched in India last month. It is an improvement over the original Xbox One in almost e...
Gorgeous design and form factor, Integrated power brick, Can be propped up vertically with a stand, Game Pass and backwards compatibility are good services, Dolby Atmos, HDR and 4K Blu-ray playback support, Good library of exclusives
Controller still uses 2 AA batteries, Third party games run better on the PS4, Launched a year after its official global launch, Xbox One X is around the corner, White gets dirty easily
One can't ignore the fact that the console is a year late to launch in India, which means that if you wanted an Xbox One S, then you probably already got it through other sources. If you are looking to buy one, you can get it cheaper in the grey market wi...

Abstract: All images: Alex Cranz/GizmodoThere were very few complaints when the original Xbox One was announced, and it failed to do 4K. In 2013 nobody really cared about HD's successor. Not unless they'd spent thousands of dollars on one of the few 4K TV sets avai...
