DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PS4 SLIM AND PRO[Graphics Comparison,Games,Size Comparison,etc]

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PS4 SLIM AND PRO

 

Sony launched two new PS4 consoles back in 2016. The PS4 Pro represents a meatier, more powerful unit that delivers better performance capable of 4K gaming and HDR.

It’s other new console became known as the PS4 Slim, which offers the same functionality as the launch model in a sleeker form factor. Sony calls this the ‘PS4’ as it’s phased out the original console.

That’s the basics, but in our PS4 Pro vs PS4 guide will explain the details in simple terms – 

PS4 Pro vs PS4 – Dimensions

The graphics processor (GPU) in the PS4 Pro – that’s the bit that generates the 3D graphics in games – is just over twice as powerful as that in the PS4. Sony’s also upgraded the processor, which handles things like physics and artificial intelligence in games.

Sony claims the new PS4 Pro can run at 4.2 teraflops, compared to the 1.84 teraflops of the original PS4 – teraflops is a simple measure of computer performance, a bit like horsepower in cars. We’ll get onto how that power is used a little later.

 In addition, while the PS4 Pro has the same amount of memory as the original PS4 – 8GB GDDR5 – it runs at a higher speed to improve performance. The PS4 Pro also has an extra 1GB of memory for non-gaming applications like Netflix. This means they won’t waste space games can use and means you can switch between apps faster

PS4 Pro vs PS4 Graphics Comparison

It depends on the game. Developers can use the extra power for anything they want within reason. Most will increase the resolution – the number of pixels that make the picture – of their games, so they appear sharper on 4K TVs, but that’s not all.

Developers can also use the more powerful PS4 Pro GPU to improve the quality of textures and lighting effects, leading to more realistic graphics and smoother performance with fewer slowdowns. The only demand Sony makes is games must play as well on the PS4 Pro as they do on the PS4, and vice versa.

 But beware watching YouTube videos that compare the two. Unless you’re viewing videos in 4K on a 4K TV, it’s really hard to tell the difference. In this case, still images are often the best comparison. Look closely at the examples below:

 Here’s a shot of a demo running on the PS4.

 And now the same demo running on the PS4 Pro.

The most obvious difference is the lighting. The ‘god rays’ give the scene a new dynamism, lighting up the rocks and enhancing the contrast in the scene.

Another benefit is the foliage. There’s copious extra greenery, such as extra plants, grass and vines. The PS4 version has simpler, flatter textures that add little.

The PS4 Pro isn’t just about making things look sharper. More power allows developers to render more items in the game, which helps create worlds that are packed with more interesting details to enjoy.

PS4 Pro vs PS4 – Games

There’s no such thing as a ‘PS4 Pro Exclusive’ game. Games must be enhanced for PS4 Pro, but Sony won’t allow any game to only run on PS4 Pro.

All PS4 games must now support a PS4 Pro mode with improved graphics and performance, but some games do this better than others.

Horizon Zero Dawn: This is the first PS4 exclusive designed specifically with the PS4 Pro in mind. It looks stunning, so it’s must-have for any PS4 Pro owner.

Resident Evil 7: An excellent game that really benefits from HDR, adding to the already creepy feeling throughout the game.

Rise of the Tomb Raider: One of the best examples of PS4 Pro upgrades. While it doesn’t support HDR, visual improvements in both ‘4K’ and 1080p make this is a visual treat.

The Last Guardian: Supports both 4K and 1080p high performance modes on PS4 Pro and the HDR. HDR works on the existing PS4 as well, however.

The Last of Us Remastered: Probably the best game for HDR in the PS4 Pro line-up, it supports native 4K at 60fps and looks great.

Hitman: No HDR support, but both performance and textures are improved on PS4 Pro.

Battlefield 1: One of the best PS4 Pro upgrades around. There’s more terrain detail and you’ll even get a performance advantage in busy multiplayer games.

Watch Dogs 2: Looks great in the 4K and 1080p supersampled versions thanks to improved anti-aliasing

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: CD Projekt Red recently updated its epic RPG to fully support HDR and 4K upscaling and, as predicted, it looks pretty stunning.

How much larger is the PS4 Pro compared to the PS4?

Quite a bit, which is worth considering if space is an issue, though the PS4 Pro’s still smaller than the notoriously huge original Xbox One.

PS4 Pro vs PS4 Size Comparison(WxDxH):

• New PS4 Slim: 26.5 x 28.8 x 3.9cm
• Original PS4: 27.5 x 30.5 x 5.3cm
• PS4 Pro: 29.5 x 32.7 x 5.5cm

So the PS4 Pro is a good three centimetres wider, four centimetres deeper and close to two centimetres taller. That doesn’t sound like much written down, but the PS4 Pro is actually 78% larger in volume than the PS4 ‘Slim’ model – it’s 20% larger than the launch console.

Here are the PS4 Pro specs compared to the original and PS4 ‘Slim’ versions:

PlayStation 4 Slim 500GB Console [about playstation 4 slim,dualshok 4,slimlne console, etc]

                   PLAYSTATION 4 SLIM

Sony has announced not one, but two revamped PS4 systems due for release this year; the PS4 Pro, a more powerful mid-generation upgrade previously codenamed PS4 Neo, and a slimline edition of existing PS4 hardware - or PS4 Slim - which simply takes the name of PlayStation 4.

The initial reveal of the slim console came as a bit of a surprise, with it first spotted out in the wild on auction website Gumtree, instead of through the usual set of rumours and leaks that come well ahead of most new hardware reveals. The slim PS4 was subsequently verified by Digital Foundry as being authentic, with the fact it came in final retail packaging suggesting an imminent release - which Sony confirmed at their PlayStation Meeting in September.

 The slim PS4's features and hardware compared to the original PS4: Removal of the Optical Out port on the rear of the console. An updated DualShock 4 controller that comes packaged in the box (see more below) Two hard drive options - standard 500GB, or an increased capacity of 1TB.

PS4 Slim specs - what's new with the slimline console?

This updated PS4 takes the position as a traditional mid-generation 'slim' redesign, which runs the exact same as current PS4 hardware - including the family-wide addition of HDR output as part of firmware update 4.0.

That leaves the PS4 Pro to deliver tangible graphical and feature upgrades for those who want them - for more on that, check out Digital Foundry's impressions following their three hours of hands-on time with the PS4 Pro at the PlayStation Meeting.

But for those who don't want a PS4 Pro - and have the choice between the original launch model and this new Slim - how do the two compare? Digital Foundry's first hands-on with the CUH-2000 PS4 Slim says it is "better than the existing PS4 in almost every way" with better power efficiency and noise reduction, and while it comes at a more budget price point, it has a build quality on par with existing models.

PS4's new controller - what's different about the updated DualShock 4?

Similar to the Xbox One S, Sony's slimline console will debut a slightly revamped controller with a few different features, along with other reworked peripherals.

The big addition is a strip of light at the top of the controller's touch pad, allowing players to see the controller's light colour without having to look at the underside of the controller. The light bar itself is slightly smaller.

 It'll also transfer data over USB when plugged into the PS4, reducing the very slight Bluetooth lag seen in the launch controller. This feature isn't exclusive to new PS4 models - it'll also work if you plug the new controller into a launch PS4 also.

PLAYSTATION 4 PRO[ about playstation 4 pro,photos,etc]

  PLAYSTATION 4 PRO

          
 PlayStation 4 Pro (codenamed Neo, model number CUH-7000)^[40] was announced on September 7, 2016, and launched worldwide on November 10, 2016.^[205][206] It is an upgraded version of the PlayStation 4 with improved hardware to enable 4K rendering and improved PlayStation VR performance, including an upgraded GPU with 4.2 teraflops of processing power and hardware support for checkerboard rendering,^[207] and a higher CPU clock. As with PS4 "Slim", this model also features support for USB 3.1, Bluetooth 4.0 and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi.^[203] The PS4 Pro also includes 1 GB of DDR3 memory that is used to swap out non-gaming applications that run in the background, allowing games to utilize an additional 512 MB of the console's GDDR5 memory.^[208] Although capable of streaming 4K video, the PS4 Pro does not support Ultra HD Blu-ray.

Games marketed by Sony as PS4 Pro Enhanced have specific optimizations when played on this model, such as 4K resolution graphics and/or higher performance.^[212] For games not specifically optimized, an option known as "Boost Mode" was added on system software 4.5, which can be enabled to force higher CPU and GPU clock rates on existing games to possibly improve performance.^[213]

Rendering games at 4K resolution is achieved through various rendering techniques and hardware features; PlayStation technical chief Mark Cerny explained that Sony could not "brute force" 4K without compromising form factor and cost, so the console was designed to support "streamlined rendering techniques" using custom hardware, "best-in-breed temporal and spatial anti-aliasing algorithms", and "many new features from the AMD Polaris architecture as well as several even beyond it". The most prominent technique used is checkerboard rendering, wherein the console only renders portions of a scene using a checkerboard pattern, and then uses algorithms to fill in the non-rendered segments. The checkerboarded screen can then be smoothed using an anti-aliasing filter. Hermen Hulst of Guerrilla Games explained that PS4 Pro could render something "perceptively so close [to 4K] that you wouldn't be able to see the difference".^{[214][215][216]}

PS4 Pro supports Remote Play, Share Play, and streaming at up to 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, as well as capturing screenshots at 2160p, and 1080p video at 30 frames per second.^[217]

In late-2017, Sony issued a new PS4 Pro revision (model number CUH-7100) that featured updated internal components. The actual hardware specifications and performance remained the same as the original model, although it was found that the revised console has a slightly quieter fan profile than the original (and as a result, operating at a slightly higher temperature under load than the CUH-7000). In October 2018, Sony quietly issued another revision (model number CUH-7200), initially as part of Red Dead Redemption 2hardware bundles. The revision has a different power supply which uses the same type of cord as the "Slim" model, and was shown to have further improvements to acoustics.^{[218][219][220]}

PLAYSTATION 41TB console[about playstation 4,remote controll,camera,photo,etc]

                  PLAYSTATION 4 1TB console

The PlayStation 4 (PS4) is an eighth-generation home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 3 in February, 2013, it was launched on November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, South America and Australia, and on February 22, 2014, in Japan. It competes with Microsoft's Xbox One and Nintendo's Wii U and Switch.

Moving away from the more complex Cell micro architecture of its predecessor, the console features an AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) built upon the x86-64 architecture, which can theoretically peak at 1.84 teraflops; AMD stated that it was the "most powerful" APU it had developed to date. The PlayStation 4 places an increased emphasis on social interaction and integration with other devices and services, including the ability to play games off-console on PlayStation Vita and other supported devices ("Remote Play"), the ability to stream gameplay online or to friends, with them controlling gameplay remotely ("Share Play"). The console's controller was also redesigned and improved over the PlayStation 3, with improved buttons and analog sticks, and an integrated touchpad among other changes. The console also supports HDR10 High-dynamic-range video and playback of 4K resolution multimedia.

 The PlayStation 4 was released to acclaim, with critics praising Sony for acknowledging its consumers' needs, embracing independent game development, and for not imposing the restrictive digital rights management schemes similarly to those announced by Microsoft for Xbox One

Controllers

The DualShock 4 is PlayStation 4's primary controller; it maintains a similar design to previous iterations of the DualShock series, but with additional features and design refinements.^[73] Among other tweaks, the caps of the analog sticks were given a concave design (similar to the Xbox 360 controller), the shape of the triggers and shoulder buttons were refined, the D-pad buttons were given a steeper downward angle to provide a resting space in the center for the user's thumb,^[73][74] and the hand grips were made thicker and given microtexturing to improve their feel.^[73][74]

 A major addition to the DualShock 4 is a touchpad; it is capable of detecting up to two simultaneous touch presses, and can also be pressed down as a button.^[73] The "Start" and "Select" buttons were replaced by "Options" and "Share" buttons; the latter is designed to allow access to the PlayStation 4's social features (including streaming, video recording, and screenshot tools).^[73][75] The DualShock 4 is powered by a non-removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which can be charged using its micro USB connector. The controller also features an internal speaker, and a headphone jack for headsets or headphones; the console is bundled with a pair of headset earbuds.<sup>[76][77][73]

The controller's motion tracking system is more sensitive than those of the PlayStation 3's controllers. An LED "light bar" was additionally added to the front of the controller; it is designed to allow the PlayStation Camera accessory to further track its motion, but can also be used to provide visual effects and feedback within games (such as, for instance, reflecting a player's low health by turning red).</sup>

Camera

 <sup>The PlayStation Camera is an optional motion sensor and camera for the PlayStation 4, similar to Kinect on Xbox. It includes two 1280×800 pixel lenses operating with an aperture of f/2.0, with 30 cm focusing distance, and an 85° field of view.[69] The dual camera setup allows for different modes of operation, depending on the initiated and running application.[87] The two cameras can be used together for depth-sensing of its surrounding objects in its field of vision.[88] Alternatively, one of the cameras can be used for generating the video image, with the other used for motion tracking.

 PlayStation Camera also features a four-channel microphone array, which helps reduce unwanted background noise and can be used for voice commands.[87] With the PlayStation Camera connected, different users can automatically log-on to the system via face detection</sup>

PlayStation VR

PlayStation VR is a virtual reality system for PlayStation 4; it consists of a headset, which features a 1080p display panel, LED lights on the headset that are used by PlayStation Camera to track its motion, and a control box that processes 3D audio effects, as well as video output to the external display (either simulcasting the player's VR perspective, or providing an asymmetrical secondary perspective). PlayStation VR can also be used with PlayStation Move motion controllers

PlayStation 4 system software  

 

The PlayStation 4's operating system is called "Orbis OS", based upon a customized FreeBSD 9.^[92][93][94]

The console does not require an Internet connection for usage, although more functionality is available when connected.^[95] The PS4 is the first to include a WebKit-based web browser, which is a departure from its predecessor's NetFront browser;^[96] it is based on the same modern WebKit core as Google Chrome and Safari, giving it high compatibility in HTML5 compliance testing.^[97]

The console introduces a customizable menu interface, the "PlayStation Dynamic Menu", featuring a variety of color schemes.^[72] The interface displays the player's profile, recent activity, notifications, and other details in addition to unlocked trophies.^[98] It allows multiple user accounts, all with their own pass-codes. Each player account has the option to share their real name with friends, or use a nickname in other situations when anonymity is important. Facebook profiles can be connected to PlayStation Network accounts, making it easier to recognize friends.^[99] The default home screen features real time content from friends. The "What's New" activity feed includes shared media, recently played games, and other notifications.^[26] Services from third-party vendors, such as Netflix and Amazon Video, can be accessible within the interface.^[100] Multitasking is available during gameplay, such as opening the browser or managing party chat, and switching between applications is done by double-tapping the "PS" button.^[26]

Multimedia features

The PlayStation 4 system software supports Blu-ray and DVD playback and 3D functionality. Playing a CD is unsupported,^[102] but custom music and video files can be played from DLNA servers and USB drives using the Media Player app.

PlayStation Network

 The PlayStation 4 allows users to access a variety of free and premium PlayStation Network (PSN) services, including the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Plus subscription service, PlayStation Music powered by Spotify, and the PlayStation Video subscription service, which allows owners to rent or buy TV shows and films à la carte.^[26] A United States-exclusive cloud-based television-on-demand service known as PlayStation Vue began beta testing in late November 2014.^[104][105] Sony intends to expand and evolve the services it offers over the console's lifespan.^[106] Unlike PS3, a PlayStation Plus membership is required to access multiplayer in most games; this requirement does not apply to free-to-play or subscription-based game.

About playStations

The PlayStation 4 video game console has been produced in various models. At launch, the PlayStation 4 was available with a 500 GB hard disk drive. Since then, Sony have released two further redesigned models, the "Slim" and "Pro" models, with the latter supporting 4K video output. As of January 8, 2019, the total number of units sold is over 91.6 million
