There is also support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) for video and gaming, which means that you can now experience higher contrast ratio between lights and darks, HDR brings out the true visual depth of your games and media content. Xbox One S sports three USB ports instead of one, the pairing button is now located in the front along with a new IR blaster, and now the console also comes with stand to set the console vertically. One new shift is Microsoft removing the Kinect port from the back of the console. However, you’ll still be able to connect the camera sensor using the Kinect Adapter for USB connection. If you already own a Kinect and you’re planning to purchase a new Xbox One S, Microsoft is also making available the Xbox Kinect Adapter for free.
