Using the dynamic menu which is the new feature of the PS4, one can switch between the games that he/she’s playing and the other apps going on in the background. Given the attention span of the average human varies a lot, Sony has kept this in mind and added a feature of this kind.

#6 Save power

The devices nowadays are built keeping the power consumption factor in mind. Everything comes down to the quantity of power consumed by any electronic appliance. And PS4 is no exception as it has been designed in such a way that the power consumption is less and the electricity bill will definitely be in limits.

Just like any other PC or Laptop, you can either shutdown or put it on power-saving mode or in stand-by mode too. All the features in the PS4 have been designed with an aim to reduced heat generation and power consumption.

#7 PS4 on PS VITA?

Sounds a little weird doesn’t it? It’s actually true. If you own a PS VITA and a PS4, connect to the library and you can play the games of the PS4 on the PS VITA. You can play all your games on the go.

This option is called the remote play. One can access your games on the PS VITA from your PS4 lying on the bed, outside in the car or any boring weddings or ceremonies if forced to attend to. Have fun gaming!

#8 Cloud storage on PlayStation Network

It’s possible to store data on USB storage or the PSN Cloud. Very similar to the Apple’s iCloud storage, this allows you to save your data on cloud storage and your internal as well as an external drive. PS+ members are allocated 1 GB of “cloud storage” to upload save files, and nothing more. No standalone cloud storage apps currently exist on the platform.

#9 Controller is your keyboard now

Typing with a controller is usually not easy and not that comfortable as well. One of the features of the PS4 is the ability to type without much difficulties. You can go to the options of using an on-screen keyboard, use the analog stick and using the Sixaxis gyro inside your Dualshock 4 in order to select different keys quicker.

It takes time to get used to this but once you do, its much easier to handle.

This will enable you to use mobiles and tablets as a second screen for the console as well as a potential in game applications where you can shop on the PlayStation store and have things downloaded directly to your PS4 and watch your friends lay games online.
