Is PS5 better or PS5 Slim?

The PS5 Slim isn't objectively "better" in performance but offers improvements in size, storage, and design, making it the superior choice for most people over the original "fat" PS5 (which is discontinued) because it's smaller, lighter, has a 1TB SSD (vs. 825GB), and features more efficient cooling, while sharing the exact same gaming power. Its key advantages are better value for modern needs and a more compact form, but the original's matte finish might be preferred by some, notes a YouTube video.

Is the PS5 really 120 fps?

Yes, the PS5 supports up to 120 FPS (frames per second) for compatible games, offering smoother gameplay, but it requires specific hardware (a 120Hz TV/monitor with HDMI 2.1) and game support, along with adjusting PS5 system and in-game settings to "Performance Mode". The console can achieve high frame rates in demanding games by lowering resolution (e.g., to 1080p or 1440p) or graphics quality, with the PS5 Pro offering enhanced 120 FPS experiences with ray tracing at 4K resolution.
