PS5: New model also in Germany in the trade

Sony has done the first revision of the PS5 hardware. For the new models that appeared in the past days in some regions , these are versions with the model numbers CFI-1102A (digital) and CFI-1116A (DISC). Meanwhile, the first copies were also discovered in Germany. Otto and Saturn / Media Markt apparently began with the delivery of the modified PS5 consoles.

New screw and 300 grams less weight

From the outside, the PS5 revisions hardly differed from the Launch models of the PS5. Only the screw with which the stand is provided for attachment was subjected to a revision. Thanks to the corrugated and larger surface, there is no screwdriver more necessary.

At a glance to the scales, however, it becomes clear that the changes in the interior are profound. The weight of the new model shrank by around 300 grams. How to clarify first looks on the built-in components, this saving is a side effect based on the reduction of the heat sink.

First tests , which were carried out quite rudimentary, made a slightly higher heat development visible in a simultaneous reduced noise. Other tests must first confirm these findings and clarify whether any disadvantages arise for the customer. It can be suspected that during the almost one-year practice phase became clear that the light sink quite tremendous in the launch model was larger than necessary.

Another change in the lighter model seems to be a new Wi-Fi recipient component that has not yet been examined or tested. Here more information is likely to follow in the coming days or weeks.

Regardless of the model, the PS5 is difficult to procure almost a year after the market launch last November. Only now and then immerse copies with the large shipping departments, which were usually swiftly out of print. In the course of the Christmas business, demand is likely to rise again before recovering availability in the coming year. More about the PS5 you will learn in our topic overview.
