#5 Performance

Both the Xbox One S and PS4 Slim do not support 4K HDR resolution for their respective games. They do, however, offer 4K HDR support for their video players. So if you're watching a movie or a 4K YouTube video, you will be able to render them.

4K Support was added to the later models Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. This should not matter to you if you do not own a 4K capable TV.

There are also differences with regards to the performance of each consoles GPUs, CPUs and RAM. Here are the specs of both the Xbox One S and PS4 Slim.

Xbox One S - Custom CPU @ 1.75GHz, 8 cores; Custom GPU @ 914MHz, 12 CUs, 1.4 TFLOPS; 8GB DDR3 RAM

PS4 Slim - AMD Jaguar x86-64 @ 1.6GHz, 8 cores; AMD Radeon @ 800MHz, 18 CUs, 1.8 TFLOPS; 8GB GDDR5 RAM

If you are not technically savvy, what this basically means is that the Xbox One S and PS4 Slim have about the same processing power and can render about the same resolutions. The Xbox One S is just slightly more powerful, but not by much.
