PS4 vs PS4 Slim vs PS4 Pro - Which Console Should You Buy? 

*We made a new video on whether upgrading to PS4 Pro is still worth it. Watch it here:* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cyVp2ecAKmo.html

Forgot to mention noise. PS4 - Jet Engine PS4 Slim - Ninja PS4 Pro - regular fan

The parachute at the end literally says "Go Pro" Question answered.

Honestly I should thank my aunt cause I just told her to buy me a ps4 but instead she bought me a ps4 pro

Oh man, I bought a PS4 Slim like 3 weeks ago and it's the best purchase of my LIFE.

I want ps4 pro! 😎 But my budget says ps2😢😭

I got the slim, it’s probably the best pick if you ask me

I didn't know which version I had until now. Slim for the win.

My OG PS4 still running strong since 2015 never had a problem

Honestly you don't need 4K resolution. 1080p is fine hell even 720p is ok. So slim is the right choice

I too have the slim one and I highly recommend it + the comment section seems to agree as well.

my grandma got me a playstation 4 pro for christmas this year.

*I’ve had my Normal PS4 since 2015 and it still works amazingly. Durability at its finest.*

I will say ps4 slim _Its cheap _Same fps as pro (just a little difference) _super quite _never gets dusty inside _don't take much electricity

Just want to add: i have both the slim and the original ps4 and there is one item that is rarely mentioned that the slim has an advantage over the original ps4 and that is wireless networking. The ps4 slim can now connect to 5ghz wireless networks whereas the original ps4 can only connect to 2.4ghz wireless networks. Now this should not be an issue if you use LAN for your ps4 but for those who use wifi for their ps4 and has 5ghz networks they can definitely feel the difference in wireless performance. My original ps4 disconnects almost 2x as much as my slim one (i use wifi because im too lazy to lay out LAN cables throughout my house). Hope this helps some guys out there. Also it may not look at it on paper but the slim is way lighter than the original ps4 so if you travel alot and would like to bring ur ps4 along the slim is the way to go.

This video deserves my like.

I have the standard PS4, I love it because it looks very awesome and its edges are kind of sharp. And I love how the light strip is on the top. The only flaw is, well, you know, the fan. Like, it feels like its gonna explode if it runs bit longer. (Its all my opinion, you're the boss of yours!)

Bought the PS4 Slim Days Of Play Edition. It's one awesome console.

The slim because it doesn’t get dust inside of it and that’s what makes it last longer

parachute at the end says... *_GO PRO_* *_be a hero!_* _So,_ *_PS4 PRRO_*

Man i love my PS4 slim .. still gonna keep it for the next 3 years ngl

Am I the only one that likes the PS4 pro design

I am gonna buy PS4 Slim Gold!! Edit : Well, I bought PS4 Slim Black

This is exactly what I needed, thanks

The parachute in the end made my decision

I like ps4 slim

i'll stick to my Gameboy

No matter how many differences it has smallest or powerful on graphics at the end Standard slim or pro do the same job PLAYING YOUR GAMES

This is literally all I need to know. Thanks a bunch :)

PS4 slim if you on a budget PS4 pro if your rich PS4 if you want an all around good console

Never owned a Pro but my preference is about performance. Talk about 1080p @ 60FPS. In most cases PS4/Slim basically performs the same but differs from temperature and noise. Pro on the other side, once you update the version which gives a "Boost Mode" option, games are quite good as if you play nearly 60FPS in any other games (may vary). Pro is worth upgrading even without 4K HDR support. When you play games on the PS4 from "2013 - before the release of Pro", I'd say the Pro is legit.

I think one of the most notable difference (that were not mentioned) were the wi-fi speeds.

I got the cardboard edition its so awesome it can run gta v in 0.00000007 frames per second so smooth

I’m surprised you only have 2k subs. This was a very well made video.

Great video! I'm thinking of going with the slim since I don't plan on using it on a 4k TV. This will be my first console since the PS2. I'm mostly a PC gamer but there are way too many exclusives on the PS4 I want to play.

My dad got me the PlayStation 4 Slim with Star Wars Battlefront 2 bundle from Costco for Christmas 2 years ago in December 2017 and it was my favorite Christmas gift ever!

Good review... Simple & Superb :)

This is by far the best video on YT about this topic! Thank you

I got a standard PS4 when it first came out, then in 2016 I got the PS4 Pro. I am really satisfied the Pro, it also helps that I have a 4K TV which can take full advantage of the Pro's hardware. If you have a 4K with HDR, I definetely recommend getting a Pro. You won't be disappointed.

good overall review.. keep up brother :)

Im getting the normal ps4 tomorrow!!! Im so happy!!! Edit: I got a normal ps4 by the way guys, I'll get ps5 in like a year or two

Ps4 slim is the system i will be buying. The ps4 slim uses less power and it's cheaper.

Lol I'm just here with a ps3 slim

Thanks man was a bit confused about this. You definitely helped

is there a difference in how many games you can have on the ps4 slim compared to the ps4 pro? also is there anypoint in buying a pro if i don't have a 4k tv?

I had the standard PS4 and upgraded to the Pro. I'm only using a 1080p TV but can honestly tell you I notice a difference with a select few games such as horizon zero dawn and The last of us remastered. The picture seems brighter, better fps (especially TLOU) and more crisp visuals. Loading times are slightly faster too. The console handles 4k video beautifully even though you don't get the full experience without the supported TV, still looks stunning.

1080p in beautiful graphic games like uncharted 4,and 30 fps is just enough and great.

I want to get the PS4 Pro 😊 Btw thx for letting me know about them i only have one issue is it ok if it takes more power and that cost for the pro ??

I was wondering if the pro would be the best option for movie streaming on netflix and mostly peacock. That uses so much ram and slows my ps4 down alot

ps4 slim

The original PS4 is the best looking. The slim is the quietest. The pro is the most powerful. I'd love a quiet PS4 with the design of the original PS4 and the power of the pro.

I was trying to add Disney+ to my ps3 and it no longer supported so it says I need to get a ps4 since my room tv isn't smart. Does the standard model support Disney+? Or should I just run a HDMI from my laptop to my tv?

Thank you - nice and straight forward explanation and answered all the questions i had!

I've a 1080P 110" projector/screen so upgraded from the PS4 to the PS4 Pro for supersampling as on the large screen, aliasing was significant. The supersampling and/or enhanced games are clean and, barring HDR, really do a decent job of looking 4K. Until I get a new projector, this was the best option for me and it's been excellent, very noticeable, especially as I use an XB1X on my 4K OLED. Good article!

PS4 slim

I had been wanting a PS4 for years and when I finally had enough saved up I went for the PS4 Slim; it has a nice easily stored size while also having way more game storage space then the original versions I had seen.

I got the standard ps4 and it does everything i need but mines is one of the first models with that horrible gloss cover, the all matt one looks alot better but is it better being second edition??/?

PS4 with the blue glowing line looks way cooler, I would go with the ps4slim though, because I have only a standard tv, though still maybe the ps4pro...

I cant afford shiiit.. I'd be happy with a Ps3 .

I don't care about resolution as much as frame rates, especially in shooting and racing game, so i'm definitely going with the pro

I have birthday today and my dad bought me a ps vr.I'm so glad i have such an amazing dad

Brilliant video, thanks for all the information

Just the video I needed to see. I'll most likely buy a Slim purely for the lower power consumption.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. But wouldn't the difference in power consumption be much more significant than just saving a few dollars on your electric bill? I'm pretty sure that 2 machines with the exact same hardware would run significantly different when taking the huge power consumption gap into account. My GTX1660ti in my laptop(80w) preforms, roughly, only half compared to the same hardware in a desktop(115w). I'm pretty sure that power consumption isn't negligible, rather, one of the most important aspects to take into consideration. Like I said though, please correct me if im wrong.

I've had all of them, haven't notice much difference except with the pro I have now, pro has a lil better graphics, especially using 4khdr

It took me a month to realise that i have the ps4 slim😂 In the box it didn't say Ps4 Slim, It sayed only Ps4😂😂😂

Slim 4 life

thx now i know what i want to have

I recently bought a 4k sony bravia tv and I have the slim.. I feel like Im missing a lot because I see jagged edges while gaming 1080p game on a 4k TV.. Should I swap it to a pro? I will be getting PS5 next year when the new redesign is out.. but for now you guys think I'ts a huge difference if I get a pro for my 4k tv?

I’ve got a One X and just bought myself a PS4 Pro, pretty excited to see what Sony has got to offer in terms of graphical quality.

Ps4 slim is the best

I had a PS4 Pro for 2 years. It overheated and I cannot get a signal from it. I had a professional look at it, and it was impeccably clean inside. It may have been from bad hardware, but idk. I want a new console, but I think I may go for the slim this time.

Thanks for your video. I don't know your thoughts can you make a same comparisons between the PS4 Pro and the PS5

I have a pro and I am super satisfied with my experience it’s amazing and it may be big but it’s still pretty portable

well made video ! you made it easy to decide

My dad got me one for my birthday on Friday, and it’s my favorite thing ever

Very clear. Great work dude. Thankyou 👌

I don't have a 4k TV, but still I can't help but wonder if the enhanced power of the pro would be worth it anyways for shorter load times and better performance?? As a PC gamer I'm used to blazing fast loading and insanely good performance.

Thank you this was very helpful

I Got a standard PS4 and upgraded it to 2TB I like and Love how it Looks and the light strips is amazing.. the original is the best looking of 3 consoles.

Very helpful. Thanks.

Big difference is (fan)noise as well.. Original makes the most noise by some margin, Slim is by far the most quiet, Pro is a bit more noisy then Slim but still (a lot) more quiet the original..

Does ps4 pro have better performance and loading times conspred to slim, ive been palyign horizon forbidden west with my and there are some glitches. Do you think uaing the pro is better?

Thank you very much for this informative video it really helped me today

I got the ps4 pro yesterday and I absolutely loved it 😀

ABOUT THE PS4 EJECT ISSUE with the first PS4 model. When I noticed this happening with my PS4 I couldn't believe it, that a disc at random may eject out, Is there any possible chance that this eject error was made intentionally by a member of Sony to sell more newer model consoles that way? If so that would be criminal. If not at all possible, sometimes newer tech is not worth it. All those problems with wireless controllers and now the eject error. I think it would be better if Sony brought back wired controllers and press the button to open the lid to place the disc on tray consoles. I never had a problem with them except for that dang analogue stick bending forward.

Thanks for this. Very detailed.

ps4 slim is the best , I don't care about 4k also it is smaller, quieter and have better connection for WiFi users like me

I love the look of the standard PS4 imo.

Thank you so much for the Informacion 👍

Which of the 3 has the quietest fan noise? Is it the slim?

ps slim

How about frame rate drop. Does the Pro allow for more action without lag or prevent things from not rendering when a lot is going on? Let's say I was playing Fallout 4 and wanted to fill a town with an incredible amount of npc's. Would the Pro keep up better than the original or slim? Performance is all I'm worried about, not so much the graphics.

Quick question for anyone that has the ps4 pro, is it worth it or am I better off just getting the slim?

I've got a PS4 Pro & I've never had a problem with it crashing ever! Currently have 15 games on it with a few demos too!

1: PS 4 PRO 2: PS 4 SLIM 3: PS 4

Wait a minute... no Xbox haters and no people hating on Xbox... oh my gosh a decent comment section

ijust bought a 4k tv last month and own the first ps4 that came out and was wondering if buying a rocket fish 4k hdmi cable from bestbuy will make a difference on graphics ?

I got PS4 Pro. I'm overall satisfied with it. 4k display is different to lower ones. My advice is take up PS4 Pro if you have a 4k TV display and have a budget for it. Otherwise get the original or slim. Upgrade from PS4 to Pro is not necessarily

Answered all my concerns, fantastic guide. Thanks a bunch.
