www.playstation.com/ps4-pro PS4 Pro is PlayStation’s most powerful console yet. But what does it look like on the inside? Find out in PlayStation.Blog's official PS4 Pro teardown video.
Pfff, wait 1-3 Month, they will change the inside so you pay the same price but the quality is lower. They did it with the ps3 slim! After tons of reviews shows how silent the console is, it gets 2 month after the console was released, a very cheap fan so the console was very loud.
@@derfalke9178 and then Nvidia came in with their 3 slot GPUs... What if the PS5 took a similar design approach with a fan blowing through the open heatsink?
Sony must be pretty happy with the guts of this thing, right? It's not too often you see a company do a teardown of its own equipment, imo. Great video. I wonder what this guy's job is. He obviously knows this system.
I am very thankful that there is an official and public teardown video for this. It actually helped me decide to buy the PS4 Pro as I was not only interested in if the hard drive was kept easy to swap but also how easy it was to service if my warranty expired or was void for any reason. Also gave me a good idea of build quality and improvements over the original PS4. Ordered the pro shortly after seeing this.
@@samcast1676 yes, because it doesnt void your warranty when you change the hard drive. As long as you dont tinker with the actual insides of the console you'll be fine.
I wouldn’t say innovate but rather, more thought out in the placement of its parts and how focused they were on cooling and airflow around all parts of the system. The ps4 is more stacked and unplanned with airflow and cooling in comparison too the ps5.
The PS5 is incredibly simple to take apart compared to the PS4 pro. Nether look hard to take apart, but the PS5 can be stripped in a fraction of the time.
@@iane9041 But the design is terrible. The PS4 pro was the best design. I also like the new XBOX series X. But this one? I will not buy it. I didn't want to have the terrible PS5 in my living room.
It’s kind of crazy how much more the ps5 is well thought out in terms of parts placement. On the ps4 pro everything was stacked without too much thought on airflow in comparison too the ps5.
Have you noticed the airflow is designed like a PC's as well? When the PS5 is standing vertical, the cool air is pulled in from the front/top and hot air is exhausted out of the back while having the power supply at the bottom out of the way. The PSU shape is also designed to assist the exhaust escape out of the system.
Watching this after the PS5 tear down really shows how well-thought out and beautifully engineered the PS5 really is. Well done to the whole design and architecture team at Sony. Can’t wait for November 12th!
Great video. This video is very clear on what needs to be done. I liked that the parts were identified as he took the PS4 apart. This video helped me when I needed to remove the dust from a PS4.
Nelveins jeudy chances are you won't be able to put it back together properly or if you do it won't work anymore. Best not to mess with the warranty/return status
Who would've thunk 5 years ago that a company like Sony would relrase a video of disaaaembly of their brand new console? What a time to be alive. I mean, it's not a big deal, really, but usually I go to some shady channels with shaky blurry 144p footage for that. And now, Sony.
elFulberto this is a really big deal to some ppl, especially those of us who know PS4 systems well. By a company breaking down their newest system on a video, and explains the parts gives people confidence that this is a good product
If u go to japan u will notice that east japanese looks really different from west japanese likewise for north and south ... some are hairy,some are not,some are fair,some are dark.
@@calvintjioe5702 ok and? Just make some room sony said it could have been smaller bit fanning noise would be a lot more noticeable also xsx is also kinda big
The PS5 just PS4 with less features and doesn't have strong Japanese game support and overpriced and charge you more for every little thing not to mention you paid for a console for less features
Thanks to this, managed to teardown my 6 year old PS4 Pro, clean it all up and apply some new thermal paste. Probably gave it a few more years of use. Great video!
The overheating problem of this version was caused by the lack of contact between the memory chips underneath and the shielding plate, which would allow it to dissipate the heat. If you have this version and your console sounds like a jet engine, apply a thermal pad between the two metal plates underneath.
Thanks just what I was looking for. Outstanding video an simple to follow tear down. I'm a engineer an consumer, but I do not recommended for the faint of heart to jump in and do an try to reassemble.
I was in gym class during the Ps4 Pro reveal and thinking wow thats so cool, but I never bought it because I had a regular Ps4 and 3 years I've wanted for next generation Ps5. Man time flies kids (also if you watch this back because of you're TH-cam recommendation brought you here well it's because oh me 🤣🤣)
A company tearing down their own product in an offical video. That's not a thing you see very often.
Sony changed their work culture now, that's why they are more transparent.
Pfff, wait 1-3 Month, they will change the inside so you pay the same price but the quality is lower.
They did it with the ps3 slim! After tons of reviews shows how silent the console is, it gets 2 month after the console was released, a very cheap fan so the console was very loud.
Wow really? Thanks for the tip!

to assemble again ps4 pro just watch this video in reverse order.

Awesome PlayStation 4 Pro Teardown Video.
Anyone reading comments that say: anyone after PS5 teardown?!
Great to see a device held together with just screws and clips. I hate the way mobile phones have glued together parts.
They have adhesive as this makes them water resistant
The reason is that phones are like taken everywhere and a console usually just sits at the table and it makes them easy to repair and clean.
My 7 year old ipad is breaking apart I can see the glue. Do you need it!
3 year's later I got to watch the PlayStation 5 teardown. 💪🏻😎💪🏻 Thank you Sony. ❤️
Can't wait for this to come out!
TH-cam recommend this to anyone after the ps5 teardown
I'm tryna imagine his reaction when they tell him to reassemble the console straight after he teared it down
I learned to take this apart and put it back together from this video.
Just wait until they do the same tear down with the PS5!
