The main differences between PS4 and PS4 (2016)
If we look at the table and compare the base model, PS4 (2013) and PS4 (2016), the fact is that too many changes are not seen but there are some interesting detail. As is traditional in Sony, they have taken advantage of this second edition of its console to reduce the size and weight. At first glance, it looks that the new PS4 is more “petite” and less “junk” than its predecessor.

As it regards internal developments mainly three. In view of the official specifications, the optical port loses, but wins WiFi ac; Bluetooth 4.0 and 3.1 USBs, in addition to better manage and reduce power consumption.
A also highlight the difference in price. The original PS4 hit the market for 399 dollars, although the current official price is 349 dollars. However, with the new Sony PS4 cut a little this amount, up to $ 299 base price .Moreover, both as PS4 PS4 (2016) sharing specifications.
The main differences between PS4 and PS4 Pro
Compared with the top model, the PS4 Pro is still larger in size and heavier (in fact seen in the photos, as having a “floor” more). The console maintains the current version that same CPU, but improves GPU (4.20 TFLOPS) to provide that leap in image quality both in presentation have hypothesized yesterday. They will be better than the PS4, yes, but not provide native 4K game.
This leap in quality is also noticeable in the power consumption, which will rise to 310W. Another detail that surely will appreciate in the table: USB become USB 3.1 (and bring three and not two), and Bluetooth 4.0 LE will (Low energy). No, it will not include Ultra HD DVD Blu-ray, but maintains the same Bluray player the other two consoles.
