Reddit Measurements Show Xbox One X Is the Most Compact of the Three Consoles
A new size comparison shared by a Reddit user puts Xbox One X, Xbox One S, and the original Xbox One side-by-side using measured dimensions. The takeaway: the Xbox One X ends up being the most compact overall among the three, even though its footprint and form factor differ from the Xbox One S and the older Xbox One model with an external power supply.
Release watch: no new release—only hardware dimension reporting
This update is not about a game patch, storefront listing, or a new console launch. It’s a community-provided measurement comparison of existing Xbox One models, presented as length × width × height (with the note that the Xbox One X and Xbox One S use an internal power supply, while the original Xbox One uses an external unit).

Measured dimensions: Xbox One X vs Xbox One S vs Xbox One
The comparison lists dimensions in both inches and centimeters, alongside calculated volume figures:
- Xbox One X (length × width × height): 11.8 × 9.5 × 2.4 inches; 29.9 × 24.1 × 6.0 cm (4,323.54 cm³). The report notes the power supply is internal.
- Xbox One S (length × width × height): 11.6 × 8.9 × 2.5 inches; 29.5 × 22.6 × 6.6 cm (4,400.22 cm³). The report notes the power supply is internal.
- Xbox One (original) (length × width × height): 13.1 × 10.8 × 3.1 inches; 33.3 × 27.4 × 7.9 cm (7,208.12 cm³). The report notes the power supply is external.
What this means for players and buyers
For anyone planning shelf, entertainment-center, or cabinet placement, the data suggests the Xbox One X is the smallest overall in this comparison, with the original Xbox One noticeably larger—consistent with its external power supply.
At the same time, the Xbox One X is described as wider than the Xbox One S in the cited measurements, but still slimmer/shorter in height enough to reduce overall size.
Remaining unknowns
The measurements are presented as a dimensional comparison from a user photo, without additional details like weight figures in the provided text, measurement methodology, or whether any revisions/regions differ. If you’re comparing fit in a tight setup, the safest approach is to measure available space and compare it against the provided length × width × height.
