The Xbox One S Features a Newly Compact Design
Rahul Kalvapalle — July 19, 2016 — Tech
Microsoft certainly knows a thing or two about making a splash through its gaming consoles, and nowhere is this more evident than in the case of the high-tech Xbox One S.
This line of gaming consoles happens to be designed to offer an upgrade on as well as address a specific grievance that was very common with the Xbox One console -- the fact that it's rather bulky-looking compared to some of its competitors. For this reason, the new Xbox One S system comes with a body that is as much as 40 percent smaller, even though the power specs are identical. The system also comes with a more advanced gaming controller that includes Bluetooth functionality for wireless use.
With its slim form factor but powerful gaming specs, the Xbox One S system is part of a growing movement towards compactness in gaming console design.
