Pros:
Amazing 4K visuals and interface
Fast loading speed
Powerful SSD
Awesome new DualSense controller

The new PlayStation 5 is a very powerful gaming console that virtually outshines its predecessors. It has enhanced physical appearance and promising graphics capabilities and processing power.
Packed with a custom eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and powered by the AMD GPU that processes at 10.28 teraflops, which is almost 10 times faster compared to the original PlayStation 4.
It also offers a default solid-state drive (SSD) storage, which means more loading speed.
This time it’s quite tall. It vertically stands at 40.6 cm (16 inches).
With its iconic colour and its enormous size the console can also blend in as a sculptural piece in a modern furnished house rather than just an odd piece of electronic that seems out of place
The DualSense controllers have got quite some improvements, both in functionality and aesthetics.
One of the main improvements in the controllers happens to be the adaptive triggers, these bring about an enhanced user experience with variable resistance, it makes the user more connected to the virtual world. A built-in microphone that lets you integrate your performance, and more powerful haptic effects are also in the family, it can rumble, shake, kick and whir.
What I love most about the PS5 is that it comes with a pre-installed game, Astro’s Playroom. It’s mostly meant for demo purposes where users can enjoy the feel of the platform, the new DualSense controller and the unique elements.
