Works great, would recommend

The Xbox Wireless Controller has seen some improvements over the years, but its most recent is the best yet. The Xbox Series X/S gamepad offers a more premium feel without the price tag, with improved tactile textures and refined geometry resulting in a more accessible and comfortable gaming experience. However, we wish the controller was capable of recharging without having to purchase an extra add-on.

Xbox One S is the pinnacle of what Microsoft set out to create with the original Xbox One. Despite releasing more than three years ago, the One S is everything a game console should be: sleek, powerful and well-stocked.

Vastly reduced physical footprint; 4K & HDR streaming; HDR gaming

Needs adapter for Kinect; 4K gaming limited to upscaling

A better Xbox all round, but essential only for 4K TV owners.

Smaller than Xbox One; 4K game upscaling; It's a cheap UHD Blu-ray player; HDR compatible; Improved; grippy controller

Not native 4K in games

Arguably the most relevant console today, the One S brings something for everyone: there's the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and Netflix support, while a raft of games are easily accessible - whether by download or on disc - making this a one-stop shop entertainment machine for the whole family.

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray support with HDR; 4K Netflix and Amazon Video playback; 1080p HDR gaming; Great wireless controller; No power brick

Doesn't give you 4K gaming; Slightly slower in operation to its beefier One X sibling

Xbox One S: The Xbox One S can't match the Xbox One X for power, but for price and style it's hard to top

The Xbox One S is everything the original console should have been — and a bit more

Work as it should and is red

Cool bonus skin revitalised my old controller!

Welcome to T3's official Xbox One S review. Microsoft has taken all the things that makes the Xbox One great, and made it even better. The result is a smaller form factor that's quieter and powered by powerful new features such as HDR.
