Works great for PS on the go. I travel 70% of the year for work so using this to continue gaming in downtime is great.

Works great… now. Once you do the install you have to search Reddit for the pass to get it to finish its install. Was very annoying but works great now.

This is a great accessory at great price. Perfect screen. Love the wifi principle of being able to play stream games on the go. Love taking it on trips

PlayStation Portal review - updated w/speaker impressions and a very good reason you may want to consider getting one.
I finally got to play with it for a few hours here. It is A REALLY good looking piece of equipment, first and foremost. It isn't ugly or as weird as you'd think it'll look. People are going to want to know what it is when they see it. The screen is nice and big and the colors on it really pop.
I tested my phone's hotspot connection first because that's how I'll be playing at work, sometimes. It works fairly well on that. Was it perfect? No. But it did the job and didn't cut off on me one time. Even though the quality wasn't at its best the latency was super low on it still. It did tend to get to a pretty rough quality at times, but it wasn't bad or long enough to be worried about.
I got through about 30 minutes of a match on 2K before I switched to my homes WiFi. I have a separate router from my main router but I tested the main one first. That one did exactly what Sony said it would. It worked nearly flawlessly and the picture quality never dipped! It was 1080p the entire time.
I tested my network on my separate router and connected to 5ghz and it also connected really fast, even faster than my main one! It did give me a few little artefacts here and there but nothing crazy. It ran mostly smooth and I played a little bit of Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition with that and it looks fantastic. I took pictures from the capture button on it. Looked no different than how or would if you did it on the system itself.
The battery life came charged with three of the four bars charged. I played it for about three hours nearly and it went down to one bar no signs of it having a low battery at that point. I would probably say it can last about a good 6-8 hours on a full charge based on that observation. I did turn down the dual sense features to make sure it let's the battery last longer.
It's an ideal way to play PS5 in your home if your TV is occupied, you need to go to the bathroom but don't want to stop playing, or simply because you might not want to turn on your TV at night and just want a quick session.
As for sound, it's more than serviceable, but not THE best speakers in the world. For me? I think they are loud enough to fill a room on full blast, and doesn't really give off that tinny sensation that you get from similar devices. It does what it's supposed to do though, it gets the job done and you won't really be complaining about it.
It's really just a matter of convenience, optimization, and utilization. Your phone and tablet and other handheld consoles just cannot offer you a simplistic, yet seamless experience of having your PlayStation 5 AND dual sense controller with full support of it's features in your hands all on one display on ONE device.
Overall, Sony has optimized this thing to give you a virtually lag free experience even outside of your home. You CANNOT get that with other devices. It's just not happening. I give it a 9/10!

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.

People need to stop reveiwing products based on what they want them to do, and review them based on what they promise and or offer. This is a REMOTE PLAY handheld. Not a whole new handheld system, and if it was people would complain about paying over $500 and having to buy new games. The PS5 doesnt have bluetooth so why would the portal? It would cause latency anyway. If you have good internet speed you won’t have problems with lag at all. The system is very light and comfortable. I love that it has the same controller design as the PS5 controller. The screen is beautiful and large. And it’s CHEAP for $200. A controller is $70 on its own, so you’re paying an additonal $130 to play your games handheld. It does everything it claimed very well. This is the best way to remote play. Period.

I was apprehensive about buying this because I have the remote play app and a controller but once I used it I was blown away. Streaming works way better than an app and it is comfortable to hold. Only drawbacks: you have to have at least decent internet and the battery life is not the best. That said it’s great for streaming the ps5 especially if you want a second screen while watching tv or something

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.
