There are three retail Xbox One models. The original Xbox One had two motherboard revisions, but the only differences are minor component changes.
Retail Models
Models are arranged chronologically.
Xbox One (original) (2013-2016)
Codename: Durango (also the motherboard name for earlier models)
The main upside original Xbox One (also nicknamed "fat", "phat", or "VCR") is the fact that they’re cheaper than any other version, as they otherwise have the slowest performance and the bulkiest form factor. While many “bundle” versions exist for this system, such as the Xbox One Elite, none of these versions change anything except the HDD (500GB HDD to 1TB HDD), very minor visual flair, start up and eject sounds (if it's a special edition), and what they came with upon purchase.
As for I/O, these systems all have on the back: Dual-barrel external power supply connector, HDMI 1.4 input & output, S/PDIF connector, 2 USB 3.0 ports, Kinect USB, IR out, and Ethernet. The front has nothing except the slot-loading drive and capactive eject/power buttons, while one extra USB port is on the side.
Silverton Revison (2015-2016)
The original Xbox One also received a minor motherboard revision codenamed "Silverton" around 2015. These models have the same functionality as the older Durango boards. It appears to just be a revision aimed to make the console cheaper to produce, although dumping the 8 GB eMMC requires a different method.
Xbox One S (2016-2020)
Codename: Edmonton
The “Slimline” revision of the Xbox One, which surprisingly changes some of the internal hardware, albeit not by much. The rear I/O is the same (minus the Kinect port) and the side USB was moved to the front. The power and eject buttons were also changed to be mechanical rather than capacitve. Furthermore, the HDMI output has been upgraded to 2.0, the Wi-Fi chipset was enhanced, and the IR blaster became integrated with the system. The power supply also became integrated in the system, whereas the original Xbox One had a large external power supply like the Xbox 360. Lastly, minor upgrades to the APU allowed adding HDR with slight performance improvements.
There is an “All-Digital” version of the S, which is completely identical to the normal S except for its lack of a Blu-Ray drive. Due to the Blu-Ray drive controller being tied to the console's NAND and APU with unexcractable keys, it is impossible to add a disc drive to a all-digitial version of an Xbox One S.
Xbox One X (2017-2020)
Codename: Scorpio
A major hardware upgrade to the Xbox One family. When it comes to I/O the X is the same as the S, although the S is slightly smaller and lighter. However, the internals have been drastically upgraded, as it added extra GDDR5 RAM, extra CPU/GPU power, adding a solid-state hybrid drive in the 2TB SKU, and more. The Xbox One X is the best model for playing Xbox One games because of this (especially at 4K), and backward compatible games have additional Xbox One X enhancement options (although there are also on the Xbox Series X/S). Outside of this, the X functions the same as the S and original models when it comes to emulators and homebrew due to the CPU still being very slow.
