    Now that you can stream playStation games without the need of a PlayStation, this handheld opens up an entire world of Gaming. The ergonomics are great and the screen is vivid and bright. I would definitely recommend this if you have a PlayStation account.

    Its awesome clear picture and feels likena controller just a tad bit bigger. And no input lag either as far as i can tell. Perfect travel buddy only downside is you need internet to play. But all in all i would recommend.

    Great product. You can set your PS5 in “Rest Mode” and use this to play remotely through WiFi. Only downside is, the WiFi you use can’t be one of those where you have to “accept terms conditions”, for example a library or a museum. It has to be a direct access type of of WiFi.

    I love my portal. Especially after they drop the beta stream games on it now. The screen on it is amazing easy to see super comfortable to play with for hours.

    Great product for someone on the go, who already has a portable hotspot not a mobile hotspot. Usually $50 per month with your current service provider.

    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!

    The sleek white design is visually appealing and fits seamlessly with other PlayStation gear. The setup is straightforward, allowing you to easily connect to your PS5 and start streaming your games in no time. The performance is impressive, with minimal lag and a smooth streaming experience that makes it feel like you're right in front of your console.

    When Sony upgraded the device to Stream games along as a PS5 controller, i had to try it. So far works very well. Graphics are clear and sharp. If you plan on using as a streaming platform you will need to subscribe to PS Premium to do that. But for the price i found it worth it.

    There are a few dumb restrictions either built into the thing (no streaming streamed games) or there because of legal whatever (you're not going to be watching anything on here, thanks DRM laws), but otherwise a pretty good product for what it is.

    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.

    Considered reviewing this as either 3 or 4 stars. Pros Grip: controls feel amazing. It's really like having a screen build into the Dual Sense. Screen: I don't believe it's OLED, but games still look spectacular and POP on this massive big screen. Sound: Sounds good, too. Works well with my new Elite PS headset or just running speakers. Connecting: Firstly, I have no idea if I can actually get this to connect to my PS5 if I'm traveling, so I'm reluctant to do so until I get a case for it. I mostly bought this device so I could play PS5 games while my kids take over the tv. Within my network, it usually works great, though sometimes I need to restart the device and/or the PS5 if it's demonstrating unplayable lag.

    Obviously, this needs more features to compete with the expansive handheld gaming market. However, I absolutely adore this product for bed gaming and reading fine texts on the PS5. Its not as laggy as remote gameplay and its very simple to use and set up. For my niche needs, this is an absolute game changer!

    I’ve got 3 kids and finding time to play on my tv is tough…this is a great remedy. Also if you have bluetooth headphones (pulse 3d) and are close to your system you can mute the portal and listen straight from your PS5. This was a game changer and saved me $200 by not having to buy the new headphones.

    Works good (better with ethernet cord connection) and easy to set up. Only suggestion would be use an ethernet cord to connect PS5 to router if possible. Or use a mesh router to cord connect with the router and a use a second mesh router to ethernet cord connect your PS5 if it is not in the same room. I used a relay mesh router to connect to the one in my living room, then connect that with my PS5 via an ethernet cord and the Portal is flawless now. No more reconnecting due to WIFI not being strong enough in other rooms or lagging.
