    Got the matte black version of this a few days ago.. Been wanting this for a while now and finally got it. I have to say im a little bit disappointed. Dont get me wrong, this thing is beautifully designed and the graphics on it looks pretty awesome. But what kills it is the lags.. i have a 300mbps internet connection (now it could be my wifi acting up), but even with just my PlayStation portsl connected, i was having some issues this morning. i.e. kept losing internet connection, also was lagging a lot. Even in single play games/game modes like fc24 and RDR2. I did, however play diably 4 online last night and it ran smoothly.. but then again theres that occasional lags.

    This is such a good gadget now, with the cloud gaming available, it could be a stand alone console with this feature, you no longer require a ps5 console to play. I love it it is a really good Christmas present!!!

    PlayStation made several updates on this device making it an absolute great device to play remotely or stream trough the cloud. With cloud getting better and better, I think PlayStation actually nailed it with this device. Streaming on the portal feels good without a doubt.

    With the new 4.0 update, this device is a game changer for anyone interested in the PlayStation. Being able to cloud stream games, with my PS5 packed up for a move was heaven sent. No PS5 needed. You cannot download games natively to this device, but with the proper internet connection, playing on the Portal feels almost identical to playing natuve. The dualsense haptics and triggers feel better than any other controller I've ever used, but they should have made the thumbsticks bigger. The screen looks very good to say it is not OLED screen and the sound is decent, but no mind blowing. I would not recommend this device for people that have only marginal internet connection, that wants to play without internet connection, or wants to watch netflix or youtube, as Sony has locked this thing down to just their ecosystem. But for what it, it does an exceptional job with no other device quite like it.

    When I come from work and take care of my baby, I let my baby use the TV and I use the PS Portal to play and continue where I left off on my PS5. If you’re not in the mood to turn your TV on it’s a cool handheld remote play device. I played games like Final Fantasy Rebirth, Helldivers, etc. The PS Portal is the best experience and way better connectivity than the iPhone/Samsung remote play feature.

    Excellent ergonomics inspired by the DualSense controller, smooth and beautiful image quality if the connection is good, and the freedom to play your PS5 games remotely.

    Streamlining Remote Play

    Even though the PS Portal isn't a dedicated handheld portable gaming device, it is a great addition in the PlayStation lineup. As an extension of the PS5; a device that's considered as an accessory is a joy to use nonetheless. It seemlessly connects to the PS5 via WiFi or mobile hotspot so long as it meets the required network speed. The screen is bring and fluid with rich colors and the speakers aren't too bad either though lack bass but it's more than enough for gaming sessions. Battery is okay about 5 hrs of on-screen time. The ergonomic is as expected with any other DualSense controller with great vibration feedback and adaptive triggers. Those who wants a dedicated PS handheld, this is a great option for those who can't sit in one place or another means to play when the TV or monitor is occupied by family members. Also, it is a great device for parents. I call it DadStation

    Don’t buy it. It’s tempting, but don’t.

    I keep going back to it thinking it’s worth it…it’s not. Don’t buy it. In reality if you can have a 5G hotspot at any given time then buy it. Let’s be real though, no average day to day person has that option. They’re running off 2.4G WiFi and maybe an okay 5G connection. But overall, not worth it. PlayStation is trying to make it the “modern PSP” by having cloud gaming on it but you have to have their most expensive subscription to play the cloud games. Oh, and the cloud games are what they deem suitable to be on there for now. You can still connect to your PlayStation 5…if it’s in Rest Mode. If not or you forget to put it in rest mode, well, it’s cloud games or nothing. It won’t turn on your PlayStation from being “off”. So overall it’s more of one of those weird, odd, collectible gaming items to make fun of later on. Lastly: - Not an OLED screen or even LED - 1080p resolution IF you’re lucky - Usually always runs below 1080p when on a different WiFi or connection point that what the console itself is on. - Battery life sucks - Joysticks are the definition of sensitive to the touch…as in they feel loose and fragile. They are super sensitive to movement - Photo provided is it running at 1080p but don’t let it fool you. There is a ton of lag time. The resolution was only maxed out because the PlayStation was in the same room and the PlayStation and the portal were the only two items on the WiFi. (PS5 was on 5G and the portable was on 2.4G)

    I really didnt think i was going to want one of these, as I have a deficated gaming room with a 77" tv and great sound system. Between the much smaller screen, the need for Wifi, and the lack of bluetooth (for audio), i didnt think the Portal would be worth it. Spec wise, it didnt seem like the screen was that much bigger than my iphone 15 plus. I was wrong. The screen is much larger than my phone and is good enough to enjoy Elden Ring and FFVII Rebirth on. While i do think the control feels a little cheaper than the actual dual sense, I really like how much longer it is. The additional length is far more ergonomic and stops your shoulders snd arms from having to internally rotate so much to grip it. It's a seemingly small thing that is actually pretty significant. I do get ocassionsl latency issues, but that seems to be related to my family eating up all my bandwidth. I took the portal on vacation with me and it worked fantastically from the hotel room. All things considered, im very happy with the Portal and have used it far more than expected.

    Decided to buy this so I didn't have to take my PS5 upstairs when I wanted to play. I work from home as well and my office is upstairs while my PS5 is in my gaming room downstairs. I mainly play COD so I should have read the reviews first. Its not great for COD multiplayer. It works fine when Im playing campaign, but has a lag for anything else. By the time I aim Im dead. Forcing me to explore other games. This also works like an additional controller so I can sit in front of my TV and play on it. I took it to a friends house but the wifi was bad so it was very pixilated. I have started playing power wash and am addicted! I love laying in bed playing. PS5 must be in rest mode or on to connect. Im taking a 10 hour trip away from my PS5 so Im hoping this will be able to be played while Im away. I bought a plastic console cover, screen protector and case and love the feel of it in my hands. Before I protected it it felt VERY fragile. I would definitely recommend you put this in your PS arsenal. CONS: cant switch user or have someone play my ps5 console while im playing on this device...unless I havent figured it out yet.
