The 2016 Slim shrinks the PS4 and drops its optical output, so audio leaves over HDMI only, which matters if your soundbar or amp has no HDMI input. What's left is one HDMI output at up to 1080p with HDR, two 5Gbps USB-A ports on the front and Gigabit Ethernet, plus the 5GHz Wi-Fi the launch model lacked. Here's the complete port breakdown.
Compact redesign of PS4 with 16% lighter weight, 28% lower power consumption, improved Wi-Fi (802.11ac), and HDR support via software. Removes optical audio output present on original PS4.
