Gaming on PS5 anywhere in your house! Loving it so far, i haven’t experience any lagging my internet speed (1000mps upload/download). I also owned the backbone the phone screen is just too small for me to enjoy gaming. The vibrant screen delivers an immersive gaming experience. The only downside for me its a bit heavy. It can be a bit burdensome during extended gaming sessions. Overall I love it I wish PlayStation will roll out an update with web browser.

I have been borderline about the psp for a while. A week ago I was like,what the heck and purchased it. The only problem I had was the graphics. The latest update dropped the other day. When I say game changer, it looks amazing now. Long as you have really good wifi connection your good to go. So if you're thinking about getting it, go ahead.

Used this a lot working the night shift away from home. If you love gaming and still always spend most of your time away from home then this is a must get.

If you’ve already got a PS5 and have a family that likes to use the tv this is very helpful. Play your ps5 anywhere throughout your house as long as you have Wi-Fi. Also with the new cloud update you can use this bad boy on the go! (If you’re a PSplus member)

4 out of 5 because while it is amazing to have a portable ps5 essentially. The downside is the lack of ability to play your games offline without wifi or without the ps5 itself.

Genuinely a great item! Replaced the backbone that was dropping connection constantly through the Remote Play app. The larger screen and adaptive triggers make for a much better playing experience and doesn’t drain your phone battery using it like the backbone! I also got an excellent quality open box it didn’t have a single issue. I ordered it online and it was ready for pick-up in 20mins at an outlet 5mins from my apt.

It has potential to be a very great device only problem is it drops signal a lot. You have to have good service still learning how to work it but I’m happy

We love this profuct! We purchased 2. One for each of us. There is an ability to play via remote play or via streaming the game from the servers. I highly recommend especially if you have a gaming family. My daughter is able to play on my playstation while I play on my portal. I understand some people may have difficulties understanding the technicalities of using the device as you MUST have playstation plus the highest tier to use the streaming part of the device. So you do need a subscription for use of the ps portal. There is hardly any storage on the device which could also be detrimental as well. For the price point I will say it is fair for what it is. Its hard to say there are competitors as this isnt meant to be a stream all device or like other devices. The fps are not very good but its to be expected.

Looks good, but falls short where it matters
The display and ergonomics are solid, but the lack of HDR support is puzzling—especially since most TVs and PS5 setups run HDR by default. VRR isn’t needed here, but HDR should have been included.
The bigger issue is connectivity. This device only supports Wi-Fi 5, which feels outdated. At minimum, it should’ve shipped with Wi-Fi 6E for smoother streaming. Since the Portal can only stream games (either through your PS5 or PS Plus), network performance is everything—and it simply doesn’t deliver.
I ended up selling mine, as I get a much better experience streaming to my PC handheld. Third-party apps let you boost bitrate, and with Wi-Fi 6E the stream quality is noticeably sharper.
For $200, this should be the best PS5 streaming device on the market. While the DualSense integration is nice, the shortcomings outweigh the benefits. I cannot recommend this product.

I was planning to give 1 star for this product since the game just keep getting lag and stuttering even through my house is using 1g internet fiber. I read online and look through youtube just try to fix the lag but none of them is working. I was about to give up, but I found out that whenever I turn the TV that connect to PS5 the portal stop lagging and stuttering. This is for my case maybe it has to do with the HDMI cable, still I don't know why portal stopped stuttering when the TV is turn on. Therefore, what I did, I turn on TV for 24 hours a day and press Turn off Picture button. Now, I able to enjoy playstation portal wherever I go and play PS5 video game without getting lag or stuttering. If you high speed internet cable and PS5 connect directly to router or modern and still getting lag, you should try to turn on TV and see if the portal still getting lag. if it run smoothly when TV is turn on, maybe you should turn on TV and use off picture mode.
