I bought this device because I work remotely for the equivalent to half the year, and didn’t want to lug my ps5 around with me. Gotta say I am happy with the product, I don’t get all the bad vlogs I’ve seen about it. If I had to say one thing that bothers me is that the product is not Bluetooth equipped, but a 25 dollar Bluetooth device fixed that for me.

So I was super skeptical about this product because I use remote play already with my phone or laptop. These past weeks before it was delivered I have been testing remote play extensively in my home and it does alright bit this seems to run much better for some reason. It is so nice to have dedicated device for this and the screen is beautiful and a perfect size. I have been putting in some good gaming sessions with it while hangong with tbe kid and wife and It runs so well that sometimes i forget i am on remote play. And i dont have the best internet. I have the tier right below the 1 gig plan. So i would recommend this to any dad gamer out there.

Beautiful screen. Uses bluetooth and wifi to set up. Router for Wi-Fi needs to be close by for best connection. If you have the premium plus. You can stream games to the controller with out using the actual PS5. This uses the old PS Now services for this. Its light weight and is gorgeous. Buttons are quite responsive.

Great product design from Sony. What will make this even better as if they do an update that will allow you to play all your downloading games on the go.

Overall, I think the portal gives a pretty good experience. It's great for people who want to game while the TV is occupied with something else, and want the full experience you get while playing directly on your PS5. The biggest surprise for me was that there's almost no lag. Even side by side with your TV, the difference is hardly noticeable. One of the biggest reasons I purchased was the ability to remote play on other wifi networks, and it definitely exceeded my expectations there. Again, there was almost no lag. Even playing 2k, where you have to time your shot well, I wasn't disrupted by lag at all despite my PS5 being over 100 miles away.

PS Portal is great at what its supposed to do. First, you need to connect your PS5 to ethernet so you have a stable internet connection. If you don't have ethernet cable, you can get them for cheap. Once its connected, it works great. I usually like to lay in bed at night and play for a little bit on PS Portal. It works great for me, because I don't want to turn on the TV in living room and play that late. Its very comfortable and screen looks really nice. Im fine with plugging in the earphones. I don't need bluetooth. All in all, its a great product. Im sure Sony will make second generation even better.

Portable is awesome to use when traveling. The streaming takes it to another level. Being able to access more titles, makes those business trips so much easier to lounge. I'm beginning to see myself using this at home more often. It is evolving with more add ons makes this a great buy.

Pretty solid device! I wasn’t sure how much I was going to use this but am pleasantly surprised. It works really well and I don’t even have the best of internet. My 2 biggest complaints would be the touchpad you have to tap twice to register as a touch (not sure if there’s a fix for this) and games that require you dragging on the touchpad you’re basically covering the screen while doing so. Second I had to get the new headset since this doesn’t use Bluetooth headsets… not a fan of that at all… but everything else is great!

It’s exactly how it’s advertised for use. It streams your PS5 to the handheld as long as you have a strong internet connection. I did use my mobile hotspot without running into issues as well as using my own WiFi, but when I went over to a friend’s house I did run into some lag. It all just depends on your internet connection if you know you already don’t have a good internet connection you will bump into issues. I do take it every where I go.
Runs single player games rather smoothly but for multiplayer games you will have a very small input delay. Once you get use to it, it really doesn’t bother.

It’s ok, annoying that you have to have it wirelessly hooked up to a ps5 and it’s just a mirror image of whatever the ps5 is showing. Nice if you just don’t want to sit in front of your tv or use it in the car but you can’t use it if you forget to turn on your ps5 before you leave home and log into the linked account.
