Unfortunately, a new PlayStation 5 model leaked by accident and not quite what was expected, at least superficially.
It turns out that the new model it’s not a brand new console and differentiated from the others, but a review the way pre-existing digital. The worst thing is that the review doesn’t even seem to be very remarkable, so, it is not known for sure what the change was..
The leakage of model “CFI-1100B01” happened on Sony Japan’s official website, where it is described as 300 grams less than the current PS5 (this was the only visible change at first).
A Twitter user was responsible for checking the leak. Check it out (in English):

The revision is unknown but the only visible change is the weight, less than 300gr of CFI-1000B01 original model
