Novelty purchase, poorly thought out.

Looks nice, pairs easily. Not much different than an iPad and PS5 controller. Screen size nice. Nightmare to use the touchpad with certain games. If you want to use you must be on same WiFi and no one can stream media to the TV using your PS5, which defeats the point of it. You need a Roku/Apple Tv for media while using it. Definitely no competition for the Switch. Kids can’t even take it in the car. This basically turns your PS5 into a 4K Wii U. Save your money.

The portal works wonderfully, especially with an ethernet connection! I have had no input delay from the remote play connection and it feels wonderful to play away from home and in bed! i highly recommend this! It feels so much better than playing from remote play on the phone!

Good for the price

Love it so far. This is not a stand alone unit! You have to have a PS5 to play it. That’s the question I get asked the most. You have to be on wifi and there’s no on board storage or cloud play. It’s literally just a portal into your existing ps5. I enjoy being able to play when people are watching the tv in the living room and not having to move the PlayStation to another room to play. Lag is an issue if you don’t have setting right and the ps5 on a wired internet connection.

My ps portal experience.

I love my portal 😁 it's been a great investment. 10/10. Portability is awesome. The games play perfectly over stable wifi. I've played games like spider man and gta, and fortnite also nba 2k, just to name a few. I really dont have any complaints. Battery life is great for me. Ive played Spider-Man for hours. I'm not a super havey gamer. But I'd say even a heavy game, you could get 4 plus or so hours, if not more. But you'd just have to play around with it, to see how it holds up for you. For my I can get about 10 plus hours out of it and still have 15 percent. So i guess it just depends on what your playing and how much. I got a cool cover case for it and it feels good in the hand. I also got a screen protector for it too. So i think im good to go. The buttons feel great to and the screen is awesome. Hope this helps a little. pls have a good day.

Exceeds expectations!

Was skeptical when making this purchase as there are many mixed reviews on this product. If you’re looking to purchase a portable gaming console, this is NOT the product for you as you are unable to install games directly on the unit. You can however utilize the game streaming option as long as you’re connected to a wifi with decent speeds which isn’t overloaded with users. PlayStation Plus Premium is required for streaming option. If you are looking for an option to play games already installed on your Playstation5, while connected to wifi then you are in luck. Locally connected to the same network but using in another room or outside (depending on range of your network) this device works flawlessly. I am playing with zero lag with my console approx 30-50ft on a lower level of our home. The video quality is fantastic and the controls work as expected with the same features of the PS5 controller. The unit is very comfortable while playing and you can feel the build quality as you hold it. My only complaint so far (unless I’m doing something wrong) if your PS5 is not in “Rest” mode, you cannot turn it on remotely as it is no longer connected to a network so you have to manually turn your PS5 on before it will allow a connection to the remote player. Overall the PS Portal exceeded my expectations as a remote player…I hope Sony releases a 2nd version that will allow you to install games directly onto it with a MICRO SD or an internal SSD…however, for the current price and its capabilities…Sony nailed it!

Great portable PS5!

Works great, love having a portable PS5 in my hands at any time. Connects quickly and games run great. The screen is crisp and the audio is super loud, it's actually too loud for me even at minimum level, so I need to adjust the in game volume. But this device does exactly what it is built to do and it does it really well.

Needs improvement

I thought the layout was neat but it is very static looking while playing and it has trouble connecting to the PlayStation sometimes and I can’t take it with me in the car to play so those aren’t the best. It’s also kind of hard to aim as well. Overall they could do a lot of improvements but it’s still an awesome item.

It’s a streaming controller screen

This is a controller with a screen in the middle and a built it network card. That being said it does its job well, screen looks good and buttons are great. The performance of this device is entirely dependent on internet connection speed so take that into consideration when you buy it. Need good speeds at home at out and about if you plan to play remotely.

Great handheld accessory if you already own a PS5

Most comfortable handheld I've owned. Battery life is a bit low but it's in-line with the standard PS5 controllers. Your upload speed that is connected to your PS5 is the most important thing to consider before purchase. If you have 15mbp/s UPLOAD it runs great. Most people will have plenty of download speed. While your PS5 is connected to the internet, run the internet speed test from your settings menu within the PS5 operating system. If you're at 15mbp/s you're good to go. This is a cheaper alternative to the Steamdeck. If you've already bought into the Sony ecosystem it's a great purchase. The screen is beautiful. No, it isn't OLED but honestly it's one of the nicest handheld screens I've seen. It's also 60hz but the majority of PS5 games barely hit 60fps anyway so it wouldn't really benefit from a higher frequency screen. Again, it's very comfortable. I actually prefer the ergonomics of the portal to my nintendo switch.
