One of the great things about this UI is that it is entirely in 4K and this makes it a treat to be used on 4K hardware which came with a dismal non-4K UI. Some 4K TVs still offer graphics and icons of 1080p versions, and it looks pretty obvious if you are sitting close to the TV with the text and chrome in the UI looking quite sharp.
The original PS4 had a 2.4GHz, 802.11n Wi-Fi but the new system has an 802.11ac Wi-Fi. It is quite helpful if you are downloading a 50GB game, instead of purchasing and loading a disc. It includes a controller that has been newly redesigned and is already shipping with the console.
It comes with a few matte accents and slightly lights up the touchpad as well. Meanwhile, 4K means four times the number of pixels as in full HD 1080p, so if you’re used to playing on a 1080p setup, expect a major boost in graphics with the new console.
According to IGN, the PlayStation Pro comes at a price of USD$399 / £349 / AUD$560 for America, England, and Australian regions respectively.
Meanwhile, Eurogamer reported games which are performing better on the new PS4 Pro console compared to its predecessor. The rendering of the new console, as suggested by the report, is superior to the PS4 but games like The Last of Us, Skyrim, Watch Dogs 2 andMantis Burn Racing, have experienced screen-tear and a drop in frame rate.
Stay tuned for more updates on PlayStation 4 Pro!
