- Aesthetic Redesign: The design language might remain similar to the original PS5, featuring a two-tone color scheme (likely white and black) and sharp angles, but with a slimmer profile.
- Improved Ventilation: Potential tweaks to the cooling system could lead to quieter operation and better thermal management.
Hardware and Performance:

- Custom AMD Zen 2 8-core CPU
- AMD RDNA 2 10.28 teraflop GPU
- 16GB GDDR6 RAM
- 825GB solid-state drive (SSD) with an additional expansion slot for M.2 NVMe SSDs
- Potential Enhancements: Sony might introduce minor hardware revisions for improved efficiency, leading to slightly lower power consumption or potentially even a slight boost in performance.
