Sony has just recently started shipping new models of the PlayStation 5 in India. These new models of the popular gaming console are more power efficient and lighter than the original launch versions. So here’s all the details.
Previously, we had reported on the Japanese tech giant rolling out new models of the PS5 console. Now, it appears that the company is launching the same models in India as well. For those unaware, the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) has approved the new PS5 CFI-1208A and CFI-1208B models. In other words, we can expect the new game consoles to make its way to India with an upcoming local restock.
For those unaware, the new PS5 CFI-1200 series comes with an overhaul in the internal design. These changes makes the newer PS5 models more power efficient while also helping offer better thermal performance as well. This is made possible due to a new and smaller motherboard and improved cooling system that consists of an additional heat pipe and a smaller heatsink. Thanks to these changes, the newer PS5 variants is around .45 kilograms lighter than the original launch events.

Apart from these smaller changes in design, Sony is also rumored to be working on a major refresh for the PS5. This notable redesign will reportedly have the brand launch a PS5 model that has a detachable disc drive, which would attach to the gaming console through a USB Type C port. It means we can expect the console to either bundle with the disc drive, or the latter could be sold separately as an accessory.
