- The Playstation Portal is a remote-play access device just for your PS5. I had many thoughts before this device was released. but let's just say my thoughts have changed especially with its use case and how I used it.

Would you get a PlayStation Portal and How would you use it?
I used mine from the Doctors office yesterday (on their wifi), took a moment to log on. Was approx 10 km from my home. Worked great. it had less slow down than when I hade it in the house farthest point from the router and PS5

@@yourMAMA.like you
You can use this outside your house. You can use it anywhere with a good Internet connection or hotspot.
Except there is no web browser. So you can't log in to wifi at a hotel... or Cafe
@@sadisticsinontrue but i believe sony will update this device and bring more features especially when people complain about it
@@sadisticsinon yes true they need to update that
@@sadisticsinon those WiFi connections are hackers a dream, your safety option is to hotspot
You described the exact use case scenario in which I'd use the Portal. Thanks for this review!
I’ve had it since day one, I wouldn’t rate it as exceptional but it’s really good, I’ve seen people complain about the speakers that’s completely false, the speaker quality is perfect, the screen and controls are excellent… if you have use for it GET ONE!
Nothing is perfect. You have not used a better device. If you have experienced nvidia gamestrream you would know why the ps portal streaming is considered bad.
A4/10
What about the joysticks? Do they make a click when rotating them?
@@KingCuffey the analogues? No the don’t click, the L3 and R3 work as they normally would when you press them in
@@marloncarter8010 you don't feel like something when you rotate them? ..
Just to clear up a couple of confusions, firstly, you *can* use the Portal outside your home network, of course, how well it works depends on both the quality of your internet connection at home and the quality of the internet you're connected to outside your home. Note that you do need to have UPnP enabled on your router to allow the portal to connect to your PS5 outside your home (alternatively, you can manually open the ports on your router for remote play). The second misconception is the idea that your internet speed matters when playing within your own local network. Remote play connects directly to your PS5, it never streams via another server out on the internet, if you're just playing inside your own house, your internet speed is completely irrelevant as all the traffic stays inside your local network. The only scenario where it connects to a server outside your home is during the initial setup and if it can't locate your PS5 on the local network, then it will get your IP address from PSN so it can connect to your PS5, but from there it's a direct connection.
This thing is a glimpse of the future of handhelds. Playing PS5 level graphics in your hands anywhere in your house with a nice screen and probably the best controllers on any handheld ever. If streaming technology improves to the point where input lag ,loss connection and artifacts disappear then this will kill everything.
Anywhere in the world. Not the house.
Love it, played it mostly at home but have taken it to other locations and its worked great. Played it more than the ps5 directly.
You actually can bring your portal with you to a family member's house and play it, as long as they have good Wi-Fi. I'm super surprised that you've had it for a whole week and didn't know this. I've done exactly that with mine. You REALLY should try it...
Can you play online games at a different location?
@rickymon25
True ! You do have to enable a few things in the ps5 system menu but it does work away from home. If you have solid internet at home and a solid internet where you have your portal, you should be able to play with no issues
No shit sherlock
A lot of fam who don’t game like us don’t have a strong enough WiFi to make use of the portal
@@mikewilds1093 In that case, I've used my mobile hotspot and it's worked well.
You can leave your house use your hotspot on your phone to play outside
If you're using it at home you can mute the device and enable your headphones that are already connected to the PS5 The sound will come through..
Another few tips are to if you're using remote Play away from your home or where the PlayStation is to make sure that you have a direct connection with ethernet instead of Wi-Fi..
Believe it or not disconnecting the HDMI when you're playing away from your home helps the quality, a UA-camr recommended it and for whatever reason it works It's something about the HDMI still doing processing..
It’s a good device but unfortunately the scalpers took over again I hope Sony make millions more units to release on Christmas for everyone happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁
I just bought mine and hoooly crap it looks even better out the box bro straight from japan too im so happy right now
If you experience lag, disconnect your PS5 HDMI cable and you should get zero lag on the Portal. Currently waiting for PlayStation to patch the PS5 and Portal
Thanks man for this info. 🏆
How does a HDMI cable affect lag you sure this ain’t a placebo effect lol.
@@Marco-em2in I'm no expert but it appears the HDMI is using alot of resource even when the TV is off, when disconnected the PS5 stops trying to process to the HDMI and then the Portal works amazingly, dependent on your Internet connection stability.
Thank you. Was wondering about this.
Perfect device for daddy gamer like me 😁
You can remote play from anywhere with a good connection that doesn’t require a browser to log in like a Starbucks or hotel.
Since i live in a different state than my other family member's and relatives, the Portal is perfect for me for when i want to go back and visit them, so I've been enjoying my Portal around this holiday season where im traveling a lot.
I live in Alaska and I've remote played on a backbone and on my tablet all the way in Florida but my PS5 is direct connected and my parents house has pretty good internet as well.
My place in Alaska gets gets 50 down and 20 up and my parents place gets 80 down and 50 up speed...
I'm 4 days in and I love this thing. I've played it at home and away. The gaming experience this little device delivers is what is great about it.
The PlayStation Portal has so much potential, but the makers at PlayStation need to bring it out!
Yeah lol I think they didn’t know what they created. If people are liking it in It’s current state imagine if Sony actually tried.
Yea most definitely
I love this device, perfect for me
Whats the difference between the PP and the Logitech G cloud? Minus the price ofc.
I love my system. I use 1 gig optimum fiber connection and if I checked correctly it’s showing my portal is using 300-399 of that 1 gig . So while I am playing I truly see no lag I play call of duty and the division 2 on it with no issue . I’m confident if I had to run it from my phone using 5G it would play just as well. I also like to make a note that even tho I pay for 1g fiber optics w optimum you truly only get about 18 percent less of that to work so on average I have 820 speeds to share between a couple devices .
Damn, so that’s why PS remote doesn’t run smoothly on my 50Mbps network 😢
Can you actually play call of duty? I have fiber as well
@@Diego-oy6en yes only restriction is don’t have a game downloading in the background or doing any updates or trying to send anything . The game has like a 5 mili second delay once you figure it out you’re good just a slight adjustment completely playable cause it’s consistent.
It's so much better than playing on a phone due to bigger screen and playing with a normal sized controller instead of cramp gaming with a backbone or something else.
I have had since launch. Beat the last 4 or hr of spiderman 2, bean playing cyberpunk, Huntdown even some sf6 last night and has been great. Is flawless at all time no but is bit very infrequent for me. Now inwould use this for cod online but have not tried it yet. For me it was worth the purchse becaue i have got a lot more gaming in since i have had it
That’s the point of this device to play your PS5 games anywhere.
Can i know if i need to login my ps5 bebore use portal ? Thinking of buying but i got 2 accounts , so it need to login befote remote play
I was able to use the portal outside of my home Wi-Fi. I log on another household Wi-Fi and it worked fine. A hotspot connection did not work for me. Possible poor signal.
I can't wait to get it
Can’t wait till I get mine! 🥺
As others have said, this device isn't directly connecting to your PS5 in a 1 to 1 direct connection; it still goes through the internet. This was Digital Foundry's primary criticism of the device, they didn't understand why Sony didn't allow the device to directly communicate with the PS5.
Not true. It connects directly to your router and does not pass through the Internet at all. If your PS5 is connected to the same router via Ethernet then you are directly connected to the PS5 with a 1 ms latency if you configured your router to create a separate SSID for the 5 GHz access point.
Digital Foundry also doesn't seem to know that the remote play feature has additional input delay if the PS5 is connected to a TV that's powered on. A lot of people have been reporting that unplugging the HDMI cable resolves all input delay. As the PS5 will be synchronizing output with the TV, or trying to render at 4K with HDR, which will make the remote play stream lag behind the TV.
Don't believe everything DF said. Sometimes they are biased.
I’ve seen a few videos now on this and so far I haven’t seen a single thing that would make me want or need one, even for free. But I already knew this before I seen any videos.
Portal is better than any other device period. All in one feels great looks great runs smooth asf screen is gorgeous only complaint is the Bluetooth. Anyone complaining about no web to connect to public wifi ask yourself how many times have you tried to remote play at star bucks or any other place prior to this coming out? Hardly ever I bet.
I'm watching JJK as well. This new season has been one of the best seasons in all of anime 👍
Would you rather game on the portal or your tab s9 ultra? Is there any difference between those two devices in regards to latency?
Why would you game on a tablet? Maybe a mini tablet but a full size tablet is kinda weird
@@franklingoodwin why wouldn't you?! A Tablet is also a portible device like the portal. So why even say its okay on a mini tablet but not on a larger one?
@@hunztahir1460 Because a mini tablet is basically slightly bigger than a phone. A tablet is more than twice the size as a phone
If you're going to play on a screen of 11 inches, you might as well play on a laptop
If you had the choice, you're better off with the Portal because it's official hardware with full DualSense capabilities. It also doesn't require any additional accessories or third party applications.
Screen on this is not good as it's really cheap device
Lol exactly how I'd use it lol 😂while in the bathroom. Was on the fence with this now I'm more confident it's worth it. I mean if I can find it that is. Thanks again for making videos I'm truly asking myself.
Think I will wait for a while. Much prefer having cloud streaming or download direct to console rather than having to have my PS5 on. Hotel WiFi is always poor and think it would struggle more often than not.
You can take it to a families house and hook up to their wifi. The issue is at hotel becuase they make u go to a web page and the portal doesnt have browser. I have also seen people use the phones hotspot with some successe.they need ed to put even a litmited browser on the thing. That was huge omit by sony. Hopefully in a update.
The funny thing is there is a hidden browser when you go to the terms and conditions
If only it can play consistent 60fps this would’ve been a banger, I have a great internet connection by the way
Remote play on phone and tablet doesn’t work when ps5 is on rest mode or when you aren’t home using the same wifi,i think that’s a huge advantage of ps portal but many people fail to mention that.
People failed to mention that: X
People don't want to mention that: O
They want Sony to fail
Its works with another app called psplay. With any controller and any internet connection (wifi or 5g)
@@arojasemploi2 then we have to unlock the phone, find the app, open up the app, take the controller, take the attachment gear, attach phone to controller, open Bluetooth on phone, connect phone to Bluetooth, wake up ps5, start playing.
It's like 10 steps at least and with portal? Boom Max 3 steps.
By the time people shit on their pant setup up these step before going toilet, portal users already playing the game in toilet
For me remote play works on phone, and tablet when the PS5 is in rest mode I have Apple devices. Maybe that’s why they don’t mention it because it works.
@@Marco-em2in with ps remote app?i also have an iphone and it doesn’t work for me,i tried it but once on rest mode, your device disconnects so i don’t know how you do it.Also can you play miles away from your house using a whole different internet?
I got one plus the backbone
This has basically been the consensus. It's a good product for what it does but that's a VERY limited use case. I totally agree that its not worth it if it cant ge used outside the house. If it could be played on any strong wi-fi network, it would have been perfect for me.
Tried connecting to my ps5 through PlayStation remote play app on my phone by using mobile data while I was at my break at work and it worked
Ran pretty smoothly too although the image quality wasn’t great
I don’t get how it wouldn’t work on a device that’s advertised to be playable from anywhere around the world as long as there’s an stable connection
You can play it outside your home network. Played it 20 miles away all last wkn with no issues on someone else internet
It can be used outside the house he doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Why does he think you can't play it outside your house.If your home and the place you are has good wifi you can play it
I think you put it the other way around. It should be: it's a limited use case but it is a very good device
Dunno who keeps lying to yall. It's not a device for home only. It's always been anywhere in the world. Which is why i have been craving this since the ps5 release. The back bone is terrible compared to this lol.
I started with ps1 and I am 40, it is so scary getting old and still playing.
It is, but it's still fun and we are in the same age group. Got to enjoy what you love
Haha 44 years old here in the same boat my mate 👌👍
Im 53 video game bring back memories of arcade 25cent
Sony's betting in 1-2 years time the reach and bandwidth of broadband and mobile networks can maintain a consistent .1sec lag threshold for on-the-go use. And you don't need to buy dedicated games for it. They're trying to ride the wave before it comes, i guess.
Conclusion: it's a dadstation 😂
What happens if you have stick drift?
You fix it obviously lol . Or get someone to fix it if you can’t do it by yourself easy as that
This is the review I've been looking for! I play remotely often, any time I've only got about 30 minutes to game, I'd rather play handheld remotely. I've been using my Logitech G Cloud to do that with Xbox and Geforce Now and I have a Backbone for my phone BUT I do like the experience of the G Cloud where it's got a larger screen and it feels more stable in my hands than the Backbone connected to my phone. I don't know if I'll bite for $200, but if the price comes down or I get a good sale I may drop $150 on a Portal. Hoping they get some of the software issues ironed out in a few months too.
Nice, I understand the appeal and practicality this device brings. even though it has its flaws and issues
@@BooredAtWork I'm really hoping they add direct cloud streaming at some point. That feels like the biggest miss for the Portal but their PC cloud streaming app for PS Plus is still pretty terrible too. They don't seem too focused on improving that either so my hope they add the feature to the Portal is low.
@@DaBigCheesoapparently streaming ps5 games on ps5 is super good as far as streaming goes with the recent update so hopefully they continue improving on that and expand it to portal
@@JttM199 yeah. I've played a few I didn't want to wait to download but it's tied to the console, I want that experience elsewhere like I can do with GeForce Now and Xbox Game Pass
@@DaBigCheeso agreed I really have no interest in streaming games to my ps5 but if it’s solid on something like the portal they definitely might get me to upgrade my ps plus account
A couple of tips for Portal owners. If on WiFi change your channel to 5GHz should make the connection better. If you are playing a game and it has a performance mode turn it to that it will make the games play more smoothly and better on the Portal. Also if your connection worsens and the image becomes blurry and does not recover disconnect Portal from remote play and connect again the image should look sharp and clear when it connects again to PS5.
Thanks
Lowering the channel width can make the connection more stable in the event of overlapping networks from neighbors.
Mine is fine and I’m loving it but others who have connection problems can also try the following:
I’ve heard some say taking the HDMI cable out can help. Other things like making sure you have static IP, port forwarding, and turning off HDR may help as well.
@@makasete30 The easiest option is to remove the HDMI. Mine hasn't lagged once since
The easiest option is to remove the HDMI. Mine hasn't lagged once since
You can access it anywhere as long as there is WIFI

curious to see when sticks start to drift
🤣

@@BooredAtWork i.d.i.o.t.
You fix it obviously. That question can even answer by 10yr old kid .
You can do that already
I am currently playing Spiderman 2 in VA... PS5 in Utah. There's a reason it's sold out. No bluetooh boo hoo.. got some free 3.5 buds from Delta work just fine.
Having a dedicated PS5 gaming monitor in a gaming room makes this worthless to me. My son still wants one though for some reason.
My burning question is if the sticks on the Portal will drift just as quickly as the regular old crappy DualSense sticks. They should have at least enabled PSNow. I assume they're trying to figure out some way to make an extra buck on it.
You would really rather play games only at a desktop instead of from bed or the sofa? Some genres of games are a better experience in handheld mode. I always bought indie games for the Switch because they're better in the handheld form factor, but now with this I've playing a lot of indie games on the Portal since they run and look better than the Switch versions. Though I also found it entertaining to play heavier high intensity games like Lords of the Fallen and Demon's Souls in handheld, and I've been going through Remnant II, Trepang2, and Ghost of Tsushima as well when I'd rather play from bed.
These are using the PSVR2 sticks. Personally I've never had an issue with stick drift even on my original controller from the PS5 launch date. You can pry the back off and replace the sticks if necessary, but one should generally take better care of their handhelds and not use greasy fingers on them.
@@mmstick The continued narrative among some that stick drift is because of poor maintenance or greasy fingers and not Sony's poor quality control combined with cheap materials is why their next controller will have a 30 day life and cost $100.
I play from a recliner or a couch, so I get all the comfort I need for playing.
Still no explanation from anywhere why they don't have PSNow streaming on the Portal.
I’m surprised you don’t know you can take it anywhere with you.
Snapdragon 667?
As a dad, this product was made for me! You wanna watch paw patrol?? GO AHEAD! Imma just play some ff16. Wanna watch Bluey?? … actually I lemme watch Bluey with you 😂
Facts
Not one hand held that I own feels like this. None of them.
I just gitmy I thought is waste of money but my wife can see her tv and i can be in the backyard playing my game and in the bathroom my leg will get numb 😅 it’s worth getting a portal
I preordered it and sold it for 150 more. Got my money back and 150 extra… honestly I never did that before but I just know that I wouldn’t be using it. It’s just not for me.
If they wanted any worth with this device, they should have at least let it access psnow streaming. But nope.
It doesn’t really need to. We can download all the games we want to play through the different memberships and purchased games to the ps5 and stream them to the portal.
Shit not an issue for me.
And have basically a $200 console with a $20 subscription to use it and make current and future users of the ps5 feel like they wasted their money and see a huge drop is consoles because why spend $500 on a console if you can stream for $200
That is being integrated in the future
@@linkvagar2336 I’ve heard and I wouldn’t be surprised if people decided to just go that route and not buy a ps5. You still do get a superior experience on the console though
@@thrills...697 PSNow doesnt have ps5 game streaming last I checked
I bought it for my kids to play at there moms house
Who also do not have many TV's can give to kid for to play in own room, or outside.
Does it work better? Remote Play sucks itself and in my opinion it doesn’t matter what exact device are you using with Remote Play, it just sucks
If it could allow u to access ur apps to watch things from the ps5 would be amazing I think that’s an easy fix. I hope they update it in the future so u can fully utilize ur console, and if they want to really make this a more broadly enjoyable device, the implementation of streaming games from one of their services would do the trick. Fingers crossed
I just don’t think none of these reasons is reason enough to buy over a backbone one second generation. If you get a phone call or a text message you’re still going to sit it down and pick up the phone, this way it’s already in your hand. You can also carry your phone with the backbone to the bathroom, bedroom, outside on the porch. Also with the backbone this gives you access to your PlayStation 4, Xbox one, series x. I’m sorry this device is a cash grab and only in brand name. It’s a foolish buy.
Great review. Thank you 😊
Great device but full of stuttering and I have a good optic fiber…200 mbps in download with wi-fi
does the portal have wifi 6 or wifi 5 ?
Like I said it’s for the Tiolet or Bed only
There are so many obvious laggy gameplay moments in your video. First time I though it is youtube problem, but I see the hands in your video move normally, therefore it must be the problem of gameplay. I have no idea why PS5 gamers don't think the delay or laggy is a problem, they totally can't feel it.
Nice review. Respect
The one wrong thing this guy said is original PlayStation 1 owners are in there 40’S! Bro I was 5 when my Pops came home with one for me and my bro who was 6 which was two year after release. I am 30 now and my bro is 31…….your math ain’t mathing 🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
You may have been 5. But most were teenagers who would be in their 40. But still you remember the PS1 🤣
You need to do more research.
I have an offer to Sony, would your customers pay 200$ if you made a duel sense clamshell controller for iOS and Android
No, I would not have bothered had this been what they offered. I don't want to use my smartphone for gaming. The display area usable for gaming is too small, and I don't want to have to assemble and disassemble it, or get personal notification popups, or use up my limited battery life, or have to worry about charging both the phone and this other accessory simultaneously. With the Portal, I have a dedicated purpose-built device with a better display that needs only a single USB-C cable if I want it to charge while I play.
Thank you for being honest about the device. Many people hating it without even giving it a chance. A lot of people will say you are paid just watch because you’re actually enjoying the device. Most of these people are steam deck, ally , Switch fans or Xbox fanboys
Thats because the steam deck and Ally are actually worthy buys and are truly portable consoles in and outside the home. The portal is $200 e-waste it doesnt even allow web browsing nor Bluetooth etc...
Nintendo Switch fans already see the value of this device. There's a strong overlap between Nintendo Switch and Portal owners.
@@tristenwilliams558Bluetooth is irrelevant for gaming because it's heavily compressed and has too much input latency. Anyone who cares about audio quality already has a pair of analog headphones, which work fine with the Portal. Neither the Steam Deck or Ally provide good experiences for Playstation Remote Play. There's nothing on the market that's competitive with the Portal in this space. As they say, devices like the Ally are a jack of all trades, but master of none. Whereas the Steam Deck is mostly useful for playing PC games on Steam. It's not a DualSense handheld.
@@mmstick this device has literally 0 value is be better off buying an Ally or Oled Steam deck.
@@tristenwilliams558nah
This thing is so hype in my country, store sell it at $450
I will use it on my job
The Portal doesn’t connect directly 1-to-1 with the PS5, that is incorrect. Even if you have the Portal inches away from the PS5, it still connects to your router or access point through your home network to the PS5. Same as any device using Remote Play. The Portal has no “special connection” to the PS5.
It is a cheap Android tablet with a DualSense controller paired to it.
I am confused, you say you can’t access your playstation remotely… but you can as long as you connect to a wifi at recomended 15mb/s… so if you are unaware of that look it up and you will get more out of it
I think that was part of the issues I was having I could access my PS5 in the office from home. It seems like that is possible and just my unit has some issues
@@BooredAtWorkdumb@ss
@@BooredAtWork i.d.i.o.t.
People keep calling this thing and handheld is not does the device comes out that just means you have to go what is Sony even make if they can make a PlayStation Vita or PSP to this if people buy this PlayStation portal its waste of money people are so stupid they go out and buy
Good review but incorrect information. You can use this away from the home and very well at that.
Correct
Nothing the Steam Deck cant do (Chiaki 4 Deck) with actual touchpad emulation and in HDR with an OLED screen.
For 3x the price
They be trying, don't they?😂😂
A jack of all trades, but master of none. This results in a sub-par experience for PlayStation Remote Play. OLED is not the flex you think it is. The Portal has a high quality IPS screen that's been factory calibrated. Color reproduction is better than the OLED in daylight. But unlike the Steam Deck, the Portal has a 1080p display, so it's going to look better. Either way, the Steam Deck doesn't have DualSense features built in, so you're missing out on the haptic feedback.
Nothing blablabla
Portal literally has new feature that one button wake up ps5.
Nothing........I say u have nothing understanding on the product
It will be interesting to see how many use this device after the honeymoon period is over.
Thing is, gamers habits have changed. Back in the day we parked ourselves in front of our TV's to play games because we didn't have a choice. When portable consoles like the gameboy showed up it gave us a way to play away from the tv, but the quality of the game experience was second class. It shoulda been PS Vita but the smash success of the Nintendo Switch, which I think Nintendo expected would primarily be used in dock mode awakened gamers to this notion that I can get good quality AAA gaming experience without having to be stuck in front of my TV, and I think people nowadays don't really have the time to sit there in front of their TV for a good chunk of the day and they try to get their gaming where they can. Remote play and streaming has been around for about 20 years now, and the thing that crazy to me is sony has been trying since the PS3 to get people to buy into remote play, and this device which everybody called stupid when it was announced is actually the device that is finally getting the message across about the viability of remote streaming. Even the Wii U didn't have that kind of an impact with the gamepad being marketed about that kind of experience.
True. I loved my Gameboy exactly because I could play it and watch TV at the same time. And of course I could play my games and the rest of the family could watch TV
There's still a huge number of people calling this stupid though. They can't fathom why anyone would want a dedicated device for PlayStation Remote Play. From all the UA-cam comments I've read, people seem to think there's going to be a lot of returns.
@@mmstickI think the returns are going to be from people who bought this thing not really understanding what it is. And maybe some people who don’t really understand their network in a way they can get the best experience with it. But seems to me the consensus has been a lot of the people who said why would anybody want this have come around to saying I didn’t realize how much I needed something like this
@@mmstickit's more like 90 percent of the hates comments don't even have a ps5...........
None of you UA-camrs are going to convince me to buy this device. Having a Backbone is far better. You’re always going to have your phone with you, and I can use other remote play services as well. The Portal imho is 2 years too late.
Backbone doesn't have the ergonomics of holding an actual controller and doesn't have dualsense features, I use my portal a lot, which means my phone is freed up if I need to do something else on it.
The thing that kills the PlayStation Portal for me is that it lacks PS+ Premium cloud streaming.
Outside the home its just e-waste with no cloud support, no Bluetooth, no web browsing and no 3rd party streaming. Ally and steam deck oled are much better
You're better off getting 2nd PS5 if you really need 2
Yea their also 3 times the price
@ksu3086 yeah that price is justified because your getting more compared to the portal
If you don't have a smartphone really
Who would buy it?....... i dont believe for a second this is for the serious gammer. more of a toy for a child. I bought one for my 7yo. I think he is gonna love it. Plus it leaves a tv free.
@KingAlpha82 Oh, let me see! Someone with a 5/10 thousand pound, proper water-cooled Gaming PC. 🤷🤦
@@NapoleonDynamitesElitist knob is what you are. Gamer my ass
@KingAlpha82 Buying a playstation portal does NOT make you a serious gamer, 🤦 I will tell you that now before you embarrass yourself even more. it's a £200 toy. The same price of family meal at a nice restaurant. folk are not buying it for serious gaming. They are buying it as a fun addition to the playstation. I bought it for my 7 year old as a stocking filler. If you are older than 15 and really think this is the game changer for gaming, please stay off youtube.
@KingAlpha82 Boy bought a PlayStation portal and now thinks he is a serious gamer 🤣🤣 likeing all your own comments too 🤣🤣 sorry you can't afford a proper Gaming PC lad, but you stick with that portal fella. You will be going live on Twitch soon with your hand held toy and breaking the Internet.. 🤣
WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER#1 ✌️ 👑
For the price, gimme the switch instead
Imagine using portal then somebody in the house will use internet for something else lol.
Your streaming quality is Dead
Thata is false lse in most cases. The only I have is when the ps5 is downloading a game. There five using the WiFi pretty much all the time and things have been great
That's not going to happen if you are using a 5 GHz connection. For $60 you can purchase a Huawei AX3 router that provides 1200 Mbps full duplex from its 5 GHz radio when the channel width is set to 160 MHz. The Portal recommends 15 Mbps, whereas a Netflix's 4K streams are also 15 Mbps. Even if you could only get 600 Mbps out of your WiFi network, that's still up to 40 simultaneous 4K streams.
Well here in London internet is very crap so no use for portal.
Got steamdeck instead
Done with streaming bs
Works smooth only time it lags when downloading game and the lag isn’t always that bad
1080p 60hz 😢 wow, this is a joke
I feel the review is fairly balanced to be honest. I mean I just purchased the backbone instead of the portal although I could afford it. The thing that made not get the portal is all the weird hardware issues that have been reported (ie. thumbsticks). Also I have an iPhone 14 Pro and 1.5gb internet so not getting in for now. But wouldn’t mind someone gifting me one…. Lol
100% AGGRED man..
Can’t wait to use mine but the Bluetooth man dang. Such a disappointment
It has an analog headphone port, which is generally recommended if you want better audio quality either way.
this streamer is sthupid ghay fanboy. use steam deck, rog or legion go to stream PS5. it can also play games natively
Who doesnt have a smart phone tho 😂😂😂
Sounds like someone got paid by Sony to do a completely bias review.
It would be "biased". And you know that's a lie lol
if its paid I have to mention its paid. Like i said this is meant for a specific Playstation Gamer and that isn't you
@@BooredAtWorkain’t me either 😂
Lol. Tell us about your experience with it
@@AgentZeroNine1 Returned it and continue to use my Asus rog ally, backbone or i9/4090 or just use my ps5….I’m good🤣
It’s an okay device. Nothing special. I got very good WiFi at home and it runs good like 50% of the time. Most of the time you get frame rate drops, poor resolution, and sometimes it will freeze.
Sure you do
