    I had no issues playing with my Portal. It connected easily and stayed connected. My home wifi is pretty good though and i read reviews with people claiming they cant connect or it doesnt stream well. Those people almost scared me away from buying this. Im glad i didnt listen. The screen is much bigger than my phone and so light and comfortable to hold. Im a dad and while my kids use the tv i can use this and still game. Currently i played Diablo 4 on it and even used the microphone on it to talk to my buddies while i played. It worked really well. Like a portable PS5. I do wish we can use any headphones, i do with i could pair my phone. I do wish we had internet browsing on this and i do wish it was an OLED. But i dont regret buying it at all.

    Love the portal so far. Connecting to the PS5 is seamless. I have very little lag due to my console being connected directly with 1 Gig Internet. Even outside it runs pretty well. Ive played god of war Spider-Man 2 and 2k on it and they run with ease. I’m hoping in the future there is cloud gameplay so you don’t always have to install a game on your console to play on the portal. This is perfect for when you want to continue gaming but don’t want to be so involved on the couch and causally game home or away. Battery life is decent. I played about 5.5 hours before the battery indicator went low. Charging takes a little while so if you can plug it into a fast charger block it charges in about 2-3 hours which you can go back to console in the meantime to play your games. Overall great product. Can’t wait until GTA 6 comes out next year. A lot of ppl will find more use when that game drops.

    When everything works the portal is great but even with a wired connection from the PS5 there is sometimes some image breakup or fuzziness. Overall pleased but definitely have to consider it for what it is.

    I love the portal. As long as you have decent internet connected to your PS5 and decent wifi wherever the portal is connected it works very well. I play 30 miles from home regularly with minimal lag even online gaming works with very little to no lag. And now that you don't even need a ps5 just a premium plus subscription makes this device all the better.

    The Portal, in my opinion, is for a specific gamer. One that shares the TV with family but would like to game whenever they can. I enjoy gaming while family is watching TV, and I can go outside too. I have not taken it out of the home so I don't know how true remote gaming works on the Portal, but at home the connection is solid. I have not experienced any lag or drops in rate, it is well executed. For my specific need, need to play while TV is being used, this is perfect. I used to remote play on my laptop but that was cumbersome, now it's flawless and very enjoyable.

    PlayStation Portal is a great on-the-go option

    The Sony PlayStation portal looks and feel better than using the backbone. It has a little weight to it but is high quality construction. It doesn't quite feel like a PlayStation controller but close. The screen and the graphics are very good, just like a miniature experience that one would get on the PS5. Because of this, I would recommend getting some screen protectors and a after market case to store and transport it. I haven't experienced any latency when playing. It really depends on your connectivity for online gaming. It's a great value.
