Awesome addition to my ps5. The screen is super crisp and the console shockingly has pretty good speakers.

This thing gets used daily. Obviously can’t compare to sitting in front of a larger TV but it’s great if lounging on the couch, killing some time. We’ve taken it on vacation using remote connection. We have found this works well for the most part though games that require instant response may/may not have a seamless experience due to some network lag.

Honest Review: The idea of the portal is amazing, but you need to be ready to connect your Ps5 to the internet through a LAN cable.
Too much of Lag while playing games if your ps5 is only connected on wifi. You will not enjoy the ps portal if all the devices are only connected to the wifi network. It is actually frustrating when you are ready to play a game but there is frequent disconnections.
I had to return my portal back due to all these reasons.

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.

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.
