At it's core. This device is FANTASTIC for streaming PS5 games in(or out) of your home provided you have a sufficient wireless network and/or knowledge to improve it. That said, your streaming performance is based on that ALONE.
The device itself could use some NATIVE cloud streaming which would make it WAY more attractive for the $200 price point. Lack of Bluetooth is not a complete deal breaker for me personally but I can understand why others would have an issue with it.
Controller is best in class(obviously the dual-sense features are top notch) and trump all others configs/controllers on that alone and streaming has some minor hiccups here and there with regards to dropped frames(which seemingly are due to HDR and/or unplugging the HDMI cable as per reddit) but I am sure that knowing sony the device will be improved upon over time via firmware updates.
In short, temper expectations with this device and look for great PS5 game streaming and/or cloud streaming (in the future hopefully via firmware update) and forget any thoughts of doing anything on the device natively due to mid tier(Qualcomm) chipset.

This is a great invention by Sony being able to pay you play PS5 on the goal is a great idea. Unfortunately, my home Wi-Fi did not cooperate. Therefore I had to return sell this

Gotta remember that this isn't like a Nintendo Switch, which can be played anywhere, anytime. Requiring a good internet connection changes the dynamic of this device, but the upside of that is far superior graphics to a Switch because you are playing content streamed from your PS5. You want to make sure your PS5 is connected to your router via ethernet and not wifi for best results. For me, this is a fantastic device. When I play at home, it is perfect 99% of the time. Every once in while (as in one or twice a month) I will see a small stutter in the video, but it resolves almost instantly. And even when I play way from home, as long as I have a decent internet connection, it is almost as good. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

When this was first purchased I wasn't completely sold on the idea. I really ended up enjoying the Portal. Now that Playstation has implemented more cloud streaming you don't even have to have a Playstation 5 anymore to use this!

Great for playing plenty of games, with a particularly great screen, though it's not quite seamless for competitive games due to frame rate drops and other streaming hiccups. In my experience, games like Madden are fun on here... Fortnite, not so much.

At first i wasnt going to get it because all the mix reviews but i gave in and purchased it and i tell you no matter where you at if you have strong WiFi and keep the console on rest mode you would be able to play the game from the console to portable

I've waited for this to be back in stock and went back and forth on whether I would buy it when it was. After watching and reading many reviews over the months, I decided to go ahead and buy it and I'm glad I did!
This is a good device, great screen clarity and size and the grips are just like the PS5 controllers. Sony nailed it and because of this I am actually playing my PS5 more often.
A lot of the reviews mention that you need a strong connection and that does seem to be the case, because on a public, restaurant or even a hotel setting, you'll get some tearing and freezing and the connection will just drop. Plus, it'll take forever to connect on a weaker network, but other than that, this is a great device! I, like many PlayStation fans, hope that Sony gets back into the handheld games, because if this has native game capabilities and Bluetooth, it would be a super Vita or PSP!
