Can stream 4K HDR media
Nearly flawless as an Ultra HD Blu-ray player (in terms of video quality
That is)
Can stream 4K video from the internet
HDMI input for connecting and controlling a set-top box

And supports HDR contrast on video and games
Massive 2 TB Launch Edition should store most of your games

The editors didn't like
Can't play Ultra HD Blu-rays
Blu-rays
DVDs
Or disc-based games
Just as large as the regular Xbox One S
Doens't support high-definition audio codecs such as Dolby TrueHD
Conventional media remote control costs extra
Loads discs slower than dedicated UHD Blu-ray players
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
Without a 4K TV
One S advantages go away
Attaching the stand feels permanent
Even if it isn't
Next-gen Project Scorpio is little more than a year away
Lacking in power
Weakest exclusive lineup
Can't play games in 4K
No SSD option
Might be better to wait for Project Scorpio
Insecure stand
Slow OS
True 4K gaming isn't quite here yet
Kinect needs adapter to connect
Not a replacement for Xbox One (that'll come next year)
Games aren't in true 4K
Only one frontal USB port
Requires an adapter for Kinect to work
Upscales to 4K
Not natively
User interface is a nightmare
Full HD resolution in games (upscaled to 4K)
Still relatively high power consumption for streaming
Not as powerful as PS4 Pro
Still lacks 4K/HDR in several apps
4K streaming apps and 4K Blu-ray playback don't work out of the box
HDR video for gaming won't be available until this fall
Simple entry to the world of Xbox, Comes with everything you need, Three free games in the box, Very quiet operation
Not cheap enough to justify dropping the disc drive, Xbox UI is still clunky, Xbox One S with drive is a similar price
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...
4K Ultra HD Blu-ray support with HDR, 4K Netflix and Amazon Video playback, 1080p HDR gaming, Great wireless controller, No power brick
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...
It's relatively small for a games console. No bulky external power brick. Beautiful white design. Improved texture on the controller
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
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...

Abstract: Sony has released the PS4 Pro, a supercharged 4k-ready version of the original PlayStation 4, and later this year Microsoft will release Project Scorpio – the most powerful console ever made.However, the truth is the best console to buy in 2017 might alre...
