Love the PS Portal But Have a Specific Use Case

I love the PlayStation Portal but I have a specific use case. My PS5 is in my living room and I want to play PS5 while in the bedroom while watching TV. This works well for this. The feel of the device feels great and it has a nice, large screen. I tried to use things like the Backbone but could never find a screen that was this large that would fix the Backbone. I really need to bigger screen to play these PS5 games. I can see this device could be a problem for someone that wants to play PS5 games outside the home. I have never tried doing this and don't see a use case where I would need to do that at this time.

I wanted this thing for a while. So happy it became in stock and I was able to purchase one. Ever since it arrived, I have played on the portal 100% of the time. I prefer playing handheld on this large beautiful screen. TVs give me a headache so playing on the portal has allowed me to play my games more often. I can finally forsee myself getting through my backlog. This is a must but product if you own the ps5 and want to play handheld. I haven’t had any connection issues while playing. I use T-Mobile home internet.

Now that Sony has unlocked this to be able to connect from outside your home network (as long as you have good enough internet) makes this portal alot more usable and enjoyable for traveling.

Works great and I use it all the time because the tv I have my PS5 hooked up to is the prinary tv for the house. I do have a few issues. 1. You can’t change profiles easily, you have to sign out of your account on the portal and sign into another. 2. You can’t watch videos on it. I wouldn’t have expected this to be a problem but some games have cutscenes or short scenes that can’t be viewed on the portal. 3. Accessory options, I’d like a case and a screen protector or maybe a clip on power bank made for the portal but there aren’t many options. The few options i did find aren’t official.

When it works, its seamless and a very familiar experience thanks to dualsense controller. However, I couldn't neglect the LCD washed off colors when I played any game on an OLED screen.

Any review complaining about connectivity or latency issues and all due to an incorrectly configured network. With my PS5 hardwired via ethernet to my modem, and high quality router, and a low number of devices connected to my network’s 5 ghz band, this device is flawless. I love to game, but also don’t want to be cooped up in my office all the time. I can sit in the living room, be around my family, have some background TV on, and pop onto my PS Portal to play some games when we are all winding down. Extremely satisfied with this device. It’s lightweight, nice battery life, and a beautiful screen.

For when you want to hide you playing games from your wife, this is the best device. You can be in the garage and play, in the kitchen and play, in the guest room, and even if you're dropping the kids to the pool and play. (Hope my wife doesn't read this, she still doesnt know i have this)

This product is good when it works. You definitely need a strong wifi connection, not highly recommended for online multiplayer games because it’s going to have lag, as expected from any streaming. Build quality, sound and image are very good. If you heard about the small analog sticks, it’s not so much like the switch, to me it more just having a longer distance to reach the end of any direction when you move it, which makes it a weird sensitivity learning curve, noticeable difference from the dualsense remote.

Connectivity isn’t the best through the device itself but overall it’s a great concept and love how Sony added the cloud streaming option now but you still need internet requirements for both cloud streaming and console mirroring.

Bought it to test out to use for travel. Especially when i go from my house to my girlfriends or when i travel out of state for work. I like the ease of access to my games from a far but hard to play games i usually play at 120 frames+ and then play on 60 frames since i can feel the frame drop and the back triggers are not like the new controller which i play with all the time. The instant trigger would be a nice a addition and if it can handle 120 frames. So again nice to have if u travel.

I Bought the ps5 portal as a gift for my husband for Christmas, he was super excited about even tho he wasnt sure about how it worked at first, after doing some research he loves it,he walks around the house playing his ps5. He likes that he doesn’t have to be stationary while playing his games.
