The Xbox One S was released on August 2, 2016. The console was redesigned to be 40% smaller than any previous model without having a power brick. With a white aesthetic look coupled with minimal black accents, physical power, and eject buttons.

The Xbox One S adds the high-dynamic range (HDR) support in the system for TV streaming and not for gaming along with a 4K Blu-ray drive. The console runs the games up-scaled to 4K but it’s not giving the true 4K detailed experience as the Xbox One X does. 

The console’s GPU received a 70% boost up to 914MHz and hard drive sizes moved up to 1 and 2TB.

A new controller came with the release of the Xbox One S console with a new extended Bluetooth support and a textured grip for comfy handle. In 2017 the Xbox Design Lab came up on the Xbox official site which allows you to create and customize a controller with the design and colors of your own taste.

While the Kinect made a huge success on the Xbox 360 consoles, the numbers fell down dramatically over the years. Microsoft decided to stop manufacturing Kinect back in October of 2017.
