To identify which PS4 model you have, locate the serial and model number on your console. You can find this information on the back of the PS4 or the bottom for some models. The model number starts with CUH followed by a series of digits and letters (e.g., CUH-1001A). Compare this with official Sony documentation online to determine whether you have an original PS4, PS4 Slim, or PS4 Pro.
