Some new PlayStation 5 Slim pictures were shared online a couple of days ago, providing another good look at the new model of the current generation console by Sony.

The new pictures, which were originally shared by @phantompainss like the others we reported on yesterday, provide a new look at the glossy/matte hybrid side panels, the console's ports and more.

The PlayStation 5 Slim side panels give the console a cheap feeling, but the other improvements more than make up for it, as it features a 1 TB SSD, offering slightly more storage space than the current models, and two USB Type-C ports and compatibility with a detachable disc drive which is sold separately and that requires an internet connection for its first activation.

With the PlayStation 5 Slim starting to roll out, the next hardware from Sony will be the PlayStation Portal handheld, which will be released later this month. The device is a Remote Play-focused handheld featuring a vibrant 8-inch LCD display capable of 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second as well as the key features of the DualSense controller, such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback that will be able to stream over Wi-Fi the vast majority of PlayStation 5 titles. PSVR 2 games and streamed games via the PlayStation Plus Premium cloud service will not be supported.

The PlayStation 5 Slim is starting to roll out this month worldwide.
