Was hesitant to buy this with mixed reviews I found on connectivity but I am glad I decided to test it out myself. Works great as long as you have a decent WiFi connection. This does not work well with mobile hotspot but hotel WiFi and most places have worked just fine. I used to stream from my Steam Deck but the PS Portal provides a nicer image quality and access to tons of cloud games.

I'll put it like this.... Yes you can play your PS5 in front of your TV no problem, but if you are feeling adventurous and want to game in the bed, in the backyard, on the front porch, at your hotel room with Wi-Fi hotspot, at your friends or family's house when you're on vacation or visiting, at work on break or lunch, and want that good PS5 playing experience... You better pick one of these up and thank me later. Do your research on the optimal settings on your PS5 console for playing on the portal for the ultimate experience because that weighs in as well.

The PS5 portal is a great option for those who can’t be sitting in front of the tv the whole time. The only issue is the need of a high speed internet on the ps5 for the portal to work properly. I have my ps5 connected through Ethernet and I rarely get connectivity issues.

This thing is great. I have kids so they are most of the time watching movies or playing their own games. With the portal I can just let my kids do their own thing and be able to play some games while in bed or on the couch. Sometimes even at work.

If your looking for portable this is not the option you have to use your hotspot to travel with the device but go on YouTube they guide you through everything.I use it for extra remote or if I’m just chilling on my deck outside or just sitting around on couch if I don’t want watch tv or my television being taken over lols .I have my OLED SWITCH THAT I USE,you can travel everywhere without using a hotspot!Playstation bring back the PSP with new tech !!!

I was skeptical about this product because I already owned a Steam deck. Having decided to try it, I was pleasantly surprised. Good battery life, pleasant grip and vibration. The screen was also a pleasant surprise, although it is not OLED. If you also do not always have the opportunity to play in front of the TV, I recommend giving the product a chance!

I was initially hesitant to purchase the PlayStation Portal after hearing mixed reviews, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance! It’s been a game-changer for me. The convenience of being able to play remotely when I need to be away from my console is unbeatable. The setup was smooth, and the performance has been great for my needs. If you’re looking for flexibility with your PS5 gaming, this is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

Works great for its very specific purpose of streaming PS5 games. It would be great if Sony opened it up to allow streaming through Geforce Now, Steam, or other 3rd party applications.
Screen size is right where it should be for a handheld, and the controller grips are some of the best designed and most comfortable out there for a handheld.
My only problem with it is that it's tied exclusively to the Playstation format when (admittedly more expensive) competitors like the Logitech G Cloud, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally have no such restrictions.

It’s been great for gaming away from the tv. As others might have noted there may be some mirco-stutters and occasional loss of connection, but this usually depends on your internet set up. Hard-wiring your ps5 to the modem usually produces the most stable connection. Also, it might just be me but if I’m not holding the ps portal in a very specific way, then my hands get some pretty nasty cramps. I suggest trying to getting hands on with one first before purchasing to make sure it feels comfortable for you.

This was a Father's Day gift for hubs. He was very excited to get it and hasn't put it down. He said that the game play is smooth and it was very easy to setup.

Great device and does what it's meant for at an okay price.
For hardware, I think $200 is well spent for a normal PS5 controller plus a built in 7-8" screen. This combo makes it much nicer to play on this than on my Back Bone paired with my phones. Controller is solid; screen is solid.
Do note that.Frame rates are terrible though. With the exact same PS5 setup, my phone paired with the backbone gives me constand 60fps pretty much all the time, while this Portal runs choppy, lots of frame drops, 30 fps ish more than half

Always wanted it… but instantly regret it.
1) PS5 have to be on for it to work. And let’s say if your on road and if your PS5 is not on or on standby, it won’t work…
2) You CANNOT watch your Netflix, Hulu or any streaming services on your Media Tab.. Big downfall!!
3) Even with a 500meg internet, this device lags here and there and quality will be affected. Have to restart to have a stable connection again.
But the new update seems to fix the lag:. Just a bit

Wonderful extension to the PlayStation 5. If you have an internet connection with low latency this is a wonderful addition. It can only stream games although some games are unable to stream due to the mirroring function this operates on. However those were indie games from the PS market. Best investment for my spouse and myself. She needs glasses normally so the size of the screen allows her to play games at the comfort of her own eyes, however the weight of the system can begin to wear in your wrist if you support the handheld with your arms or unsupported.

I love almost everything about this product but the lag was too much for me. I have a wired connection for my PS5 and 500/500 internet and the delay was still pretty severe.

Exactly what it is, works well. Everyone once and awhile though my PS doesn't wanna respond but more than likely thats due to slow interent where I am or an issue with the house
