Playstation Portal, ITS WORTHY!!!

Absolutely an amazing piece of technology. Let me say this, you need a playstation 5 system, playstation plus premium. Playstation plus games, and now your installed and streamable library are accessible. With the newest software update, instead of just remote playing your console, you are now able to stream games, and streaming is pretty flawless so far. For the price its pretty expensive but worth it. The system is a dualsense split in half with a beautiful 1080hd display. There is a headphone jack port for wired headphones, and it is charged by usb c, or like a samsung phone charger. It feels nice to hold, its sturdy feeling for a hand held system, and its not uncomfortable to hold or play on like some handhelds make your hands cramp from being smaller for the controls, Portal has a relatively same shape and ergonomics as the dualsense itself

if you have ps plus you can stream w/out ps5

so the ps5 i ordered got delayed, and i thought id just get the downloading if the updated spftware out of the way, but right now i was just playing games without a ps5 on this thing..... reaaallly wish it came with a screen protector, and i highly suggest getting one at the same time you pick up the portal its a little bulky to hold comfortably with one hand without it feeling like its so thin its own weight could maybe break it, but its just how thin it is giving the illusion. its pretty sturdy. i still wouldnt suggest it for young kids, nintendo is still king in taking a beating from kids.

PlayStation Portal is a Missed Opportunity

If you were hoping the PlayStation Portal would be the true successor to the PSP or Vita, prepare for bitter disappointment. The Portal is not a standalone handheld console; it's merely a glorified remote-play accessory for your PS5, and it barely delivers on that single, limited promise. The Major Flaws: Connectivity is a Nightmare: The entire experience hinges on a flawless Wi-Fi connection, and even with robust home internet (PS5 hardwired to ethernet), the performance is inconsistent. Expect frequent stuttering, frame rate drops, and random disconnects that completely ruin the immersion, making fast-paced or competitive games unplayable due to input lag.

Not for everyone.

For me personally i like the idea of it and for some people who have more places to go and hang out this is for you but for me its useless. i work 12 hour shifts and figured id be able to play on my breaks but the internet dont reach out to my car so i been using my hotspot with it and its so slow and the graphics look like im playing on ps2 again so for me its not good. when i play it at home on my internet its amazing i dont have to be on my ps5 in my room i can use this wherever but soon as the internet gets slow or goes out its just a collectible really.

Great handheld to have next to your ps5 or PRO!

If you want a awesome device to have next to your ps5 or ps5 pro this is it! You can use it to stream games from you console to this ps portal and the games looks great and smooth on the screen, And cloud gaming looks great and little to no input lag and with the new system update you don't even have to use your console or even have a console to use this handheld if you have ps plus! The ps portal also has great build quality and very comfortable in the hand while also having every feature on it just like the ps5 controller, And even the screen is really beautiful and the value is great also. So it does get a solid 5 stars from me i love it👍

PS portal is worth the value price

PS portal is a great purchase for less the money than a PlayStation Console. Plus you can play on the go and you have the option to connect to your PlayStation console at home and or purchase the PlayStation premium for games on the cloud. And the gaming Graphics are excellent. You even have the option to connect your portal to friends ps console to play their games. Well worth the value of $200 and under.

HARD PASS!!

This thing is pretty worthless. You can only use it connected to your console. So what’s the point?!?!? It’s not an independent handheld device. We immediately returned this item. It was close to $200 for basically a controller with a screen. Hard pass! Don’t waste your money!!

Amazing for what it is!

Amazing device for what it is. I intially returned this device when it first came out as it constantly lagged or wouldnt get a strong signal. But pulled the trigger a few weeks ago hearing its been improved and it def has been! I do use ethernet now on my ps5 and better ethernet cables from my router to modem and modem to ps5 which also helps but even under wifi it perfomed much better then when it first launched. Beautiful screen, i cant say this enough. For not being a oled screen its one of the best led screens on a handheld ive experienced. Connects in a reasonable time and now you can even use it for cloud streaming without hooking it up to your ps5. It works amazing doing that too. Almost zero hiccups. A very rare slight hiccup every few hours for maybe a split second or two. Tbh the graphics that come thru look as good as the ps5 on a tv! Also very very comfortable to hold and good battery life. Many cool docking stations and designs for covers can be purchased as well. Didnt have great luck using this outside of the house however even using verizon hotspot in the city. Its a great device for couching it at home or outside when you dont want to be tied to the tv. Only buy if you have strong relianle internet or you will be dissappointed. We have spectrum home internet running 600 or more mbps.

Totally worth it!

Amazing way to play your consoles games/cloud games while not hogging the TV. I would recommend that if you are streaming your games from a PS5 that your PS5 be hooked up to your router using Ethernet. You more than likely would have a less than desirable experience
