Pros:
- The most ergonomic controller for remote play available. Very comfortable to hold and use for extended playing sessions.
- Battery life is good
- Screen quality is great though with minor caveat (see cons)
- Overall build quality is good
- Reasonably priced
Cons
- In the current firmware build, does not has the ability to turn on Playstation remotely (can only wake from rest mode)
- In the current firmware build, does not support game streaming.
- While the screen is great, but the screen finish is prone to reflection. I recommend using a screen glare resistant screen protector.
- The analog stick is a bit more sensitive/loose than the standard DualSense, may take some getting used to.
- Depending on the game and your network connection, may have minor delays/lags during gameplay (for me personally it was very minor).
- If you are away from home, you will not be able to remote play physical games without the disc already in the PS5 console.
Verdict - Recommend for those that would like to play PS5 around the house or remotely, especially for parents that needed to take care and watch the kids around the house. Despite the minor the cons, this is overall a very solid device.

Great product. Sometimes the visuals get grainy even though I'm close to wifi router and PlayStation. However, overall a great way I can play while family watches TV.

The controller feels great and the screen is big - much bigger than the Nintendo Switch. The build/design is definitely solid, sleek, and matches well with the console. My only gripes is that it depends on a PS5 in order to work courtesy of the limitations of the RemotePlay feature so it's not exactly portable outside of the Wi-Fi network your PS5 is currently situated in. You can't stream or watch any videos from any streaming apps either due to the same reason. And gameplay may lag depending on your network which is why you should connect your PS5 directly to your router via an ethernet cable. If you can get over those limitations, then the device is great! It frees up the TV so someone else can use it while you can play on the device anywhere else in the house.

The device is a blast to use. I haven’t used the steaming part yet, but have played slot of my games. Takes a few minutes to connect but after the first time, it works great.

While the handgeld has some comfortable controls and came in at a steal during Black Friday, the portal has issues baked into its design that diminish its potential value. The handheld is streaming only as opposed to being able to download your library onto it directly. Not only that but the analog sticks can be fragile, a disapointing fact when considering the cost of the handheld when bought at its MSRP.
