Sony Playstation 5 Game Box with Aliexpress
The new Playstation 5 console finally appeared on the Aliexpress website. This article will help you to get an idea of what this prefix. As any technique here has its «pros» and «cons».
PS5 design
It is difficult to evaluate the design, because the concept of beauty is different. The first thing that catches the eye after unpacking is big white plastic panels. They resemble the wings of a futuristic apparatus. You can see that the developers tried to make a design object from the console, which will attract the attention of everyone.
Plastic panels, on the one hand, are impractical. It is not known how quickly they will get dirty and collect dust. On the other hand, this is a huge space for creativity. Soon there will be limited series of consoles stylized for a particular game. Maybe these panels with the pictures on them, will sell separately.
Playstation 5 stands out for its size. Its dimensions are 392,610.4 cm. Even in comparison with Playstation 3, which many scolded for bulky size, «five» looks impressive.
Technical Details PS5
The performance of the new «curling iron» is responsible for the eight-core Ryzen processor from AMD with a frequency of 3.5 GHz. Performance is provided by 16 gigabytes of GDDR6 built-in memory. An 825 gigabyte SSD disk is installed for data storage, of which 667 is available. The developers say that they have created a new graphics engine and added a data controller that works directly with the disk. In theory, this should make downloading games even faster and the graphics qualitative. Changes have occurred in the field of sound. The «Tempest 3D» chip was installed on the PS5. It gives three-dimensional sound even in headphones and built-in speakers of the TV, not to mention the home theaters that a small number of users have.
First setup of PS5
The set-top box includes several cables for different connectors. It includes power cable, HDMI, USB gamepad and external hard drive. About what and where to connect is detailed in the instructions. The only thing to note is that the console does not support a resolution of less than 1440 pixels.
Configuration can be done with a smartphone, on which you need to install the application «PS App» and scan the code from the screen of the monitor or TV. The application has been translated into Russian, there should be no problems with understanding. In addition to setting, the app allows you to add friends to the PSN, watch achievements in games, buy games on the console directly from your phone and also notifies the user about downloading games.
Once configured, the system will download updates to about 800 megabytes and then offer to transfer data from the previous PS4 console, if available.
Impressions
It is worth to start with what the developers focused on before the release of the prefix. This is the so-called backward compatibility. The user can run the games from the previous generation of consoles and the performance should not «probe». It didn’t really work out quite as expected. Yes, the 20 games included in the subscription «PS Plus» work almost perfectly, in «God of war» raised the number of frames per second. But in the rest, for example, «Dishonored 2» there is hanging and unnatural glow.
