PS4 Neo Sketch Shared by Foxconn Worker: Reportedly Thicker & Heavier Than Basic PS4

A Foxconn worker shared a sketch of the upcoming console PS4 Neo a few hours ago on Chinese forums A9VG. For those not familiar with it, Foxconn is the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer; it's responsible for manufacturing devices like Sony's PlayStation iii & 4, Nintendo'due south WiiU, Microsoft'due south Xbox I, Apple's iPad/iPhone/iPod and even Amazon's Kindle.

The original sketch, which yous can see below, showcases a blend of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation ii pattern elements for the PS4 Neo. The source also reports that the panel should be slightly thicker than the bones PlayStation four as well as beingness heavier; with the increased computational power, information technology makes sense. Those looking for a slimmer, lighter console will be able to cull the PS4 Slim, also rumored to be announced during the upcoming PlayStation Meeting in New York City (which will exist alive streamed).

After this leak, a couple of Neogaf users decided to create detailed mock-ups based on this sketch. The first one is the featured epitome you've seen higher up, fabricated by xenorevils AKA Peter Segura, while the following i was made past artsi.

Needless to say, this is merely a rumor for the moment being, though an authentic leak would be far from surprising considering that we're actually shut to the official reveal result.

While we previously thought that PS4 Neo would launch at some point in 2022, rumors from multiple sources are at present indicating that it will be released this year, perhaps before Thanksgiving. For the moment beingness these are the leaked specifications from an official document, though in that location's a chance the final ones could be slightly higher.
