Ive had mine since day 1, and have loved it since day 1. It makes me want to play my playstation more. I love being able to play ps5 and have something on the tv in the background at the same time. I travel as well and it just makes things super easy to where i dont have to bring the ps5 everywhere with me.
Premium is only needed if you want stream games without the need of a ps5. If you currently have games downloaded you can easily play with any subscription. Hope this helps!
Gonna be perfect for those before bed sessions. I want one to play my rpgs and jrpgs. How does it hold up for elden ring? Seen a copy at my local pawn for $40 canadian.
I haven't tried Elden ring yet if I'm being honest. But every single player game that I have tried has been an amazing experience, definitely exceeded expectations!
Thank you, will this also play ps4 games on disc from my ps5? Example Bloodbourne, i was able to get the 30th anniversary and not sure if i should return it.
regarding the dock, i didnt like the idea of bringing the dock with me when travelling, also, during times when i wanted to charge and play at the same time, id had to take the charge dongle out.. and that thing is small enough to be a pain to remove and also potentially lose.
Yes you'll need internet connection for it but as low as 15mbps which is technically very slow internet, mobile Hotspot for your phone should simulate a slow internet connection. Hope this helps.
@@NeverSatisfiedOfficial yeah I don’t like that. Defeats the purpose of randomly turning it on to play for a few min. Especially if you have multiple levels of a house
I been waiting for this cloud gaming update I did a dumb decision and paid 325 they day it came out due to it being sold out I bought it second hand but still brand new in box but I myself on used it once until that cloud gaming update I have been using it everyday since it’s amazing
That's weird! You might want to check your connection settings. I haven't tried it on my Hotspot but hotel wifi can't be any better and it runs amazing for me.
I love this thing but i can't get this to manage to run well away from a different household lmfao. I use ethernet cable for the ps5 and my wifi runs well for the portal. 30+mbps for download but 4.8mbps for upload (ethernet). I dont lag at all playing normally ***not exactly sure how to increase these things
That's odd. I haven't ra into an issue where I can't use it. I have ethernet direct connection too. I have noticed that sometimes I have to reconnect multiple times for it to wake up the ps5.
@@BigUnc78 The Switch is better because it's a hybrid console. The Play Station Portal is basically a paperweight if you don't have PS Plus premium it can't download games
I love the portal. They need to let us use apps like UA-cam and Netflix..
Bro yes!! any streaming app in this case
Wonder why it ain't a thing though. Would be perfect if you're just in the mood to watch movies and shows.
Don’t think it’ll ever happen.
Something g to do with streaming a copyright protections being absent from the portal or something.

I agree, it's a game-changer for multi-tasking!
Same here day 1 owner. Loved it since I got it. Perfect for people that are always on the road.
Love mine. Had it since day one. 4 hrs is not a bad gaming session. I agree on the Oled screen. The new update was definitely a game changer.
Man I’ve been daily driving this and using during lunch at work and my commute it’s awesome
That sounds like the perfect way to use it!
I just brought mine to Disney and it was great! 0 complaints ps5 was hardwired back home in PA.
Sounds like you made the right choice! 🤙🏻
Does my PS5 have to be on so I can play on it without cloud streaming?
No, just needs to be in rest mode.
It doesn’t need to be on at all for cloud streaming, but does need to be in rest mode for remote play
Is premium the only way to use this? Or can I play games I already have downloaded to the ps5?

Has anyone fixed the bluetooth being missing on this device? like a dongle or something.
Negative, unless Playstion releases an update for it. Hopefully they do.
Thank you, will this also play ps4 games on disc from my ps5? Example Bloodbourne, i was able to get the 30th anniversary and not sure if i should return it.
Yes if it's in your disc drive you can play ps4 and ps5 games
@@NeverSatisfiedOfficial thanks, I'm just not 100% sure how much I will use this. I always buy stuff like this and rarely use it. Lol
Sell it to me 🥹
I really liked this review. Thank you for being honest about the pros and cons. It feels real enough to buy it!
No problem! Glad I could help you decide.
regarding the dock, i didnt like the idea of bringing the dock with me when travelling, also, during times when i wanted to charge and play at the same time, id had to take the charge dongle out.. and that thing is small enough to be a pain to remove and also potentially lose.
Yeah, it's a bit of a design flaw, hopefully they make a better one in the future.
Want to get one for work but do I need an active and stable internet connection for it to work? Please help
Yes you'll need internet connection for it but as low as 15mbps which is technically very slow internet, mobile Hotspot for your phone should simulate a slow internet connection. Hope this helps.
@@NeverSatisfiedOfficial that helps that’s all I’ll be able to have is mobile hot spot
I have a PS4 pro and with ps plus subscription so can I buy it or will it be of no use to me
You'll need PS Premium subscription to stream without a ps5. Definitely worth it imo 👌🏻
@ thanks for the info but will this service work in India
The streaming service isn't available in india yet 😔
@@NeverSatisfiedOfficial Thanks for the proper information brother much appreciated 🙌🏻
I love mine, I just got it 2 weeks ago and I travel a lot as well and it is the next best thing super dope device.
Totally agree!
Having lag issues right now. Ill have to set it to 1080p. Hope that works
That should definitely help!
can you adjust resolution from the portal? I dont think so
Negative, you will need to go into screen and video on your ps5 to adjust it to 1080p@@mlance1777
@@NeverSatisfiedOfficial yeah I don’t like that. Defeats the purpose of randomly turning it on to play for a few min. Especially if you have multiple levels of a house
Just got one yesterday. It's different but really cool
Cloud streaming beta is not available for my region, they should've released it globally..
Yeah, I hear ya. Hopefully they make it available worldwide soon.
I like the review im going to have to buy a few for my grandson and granddaughter
Awesome choice, they'll love it!
Rad video, trying to get one this week🤞🏼
Right on!🤙🏻

Got mine 2 weeks ago. Now iam playing games more on my portal than my PS5. Completing my backlog on bed.
The Play Station Portal isn't the best handheld. It can't download games or play games natively on the portal
Portal 2 wil be amazing with 5g connection
Bro I’m trying to play cloud games but is telling me I can’t play because my hotspot internet is weak but i have very strong internet
That's weird! You might want to check your connection settings. I haven't tried it on my Hotspot but hotel wifi can't be any better and it runs amazing for me.
@ i did everything not working yet but thank you i will try again 🥲

I bought one so cool don’t own a ps5 though but I stream it on the portal
I have been debating about getting it for the last few weeks, but honestly the stick drift issue is enough reason not to get it.
I can understand that, it is a pretty big drawback.
I get 5hrs gameplay
I lowered all the settings including screen brightness.
Makes sense, just figure with the baseline settings it would last atleast 6hrs.
I never play that long
Kinda meh right now I can’t sit on my couch 20ft from my PS5 without lag
Something wrong with your connection, dude, that's an internet issue. I've been playing up to 50 yards away from my ps5 with no issues.
thank you
You’re welcome! 🙏🏻
Great video man keep it up
Thanks man! Appreciate the support 🤙🏻
Throw in a bag and keep going. Lol. I ain't going no where with mine. Your just promoting on here. Gese luise. That's all this is
It's just a fun, portable way to play. Not everyone travels with it.
Bro I had been trying to get the portal 30 anniversary 😢😢NO LUCK.
I still have the 1,2,3 and 4th😢.
This sucks that Playstation is not doing more😭😭😭
I Will send it to you if you give good price, sealed never opened
@darkphantom8207 ??? How much are we talking about?
@ make an offer, how much will you give?
I’m lowkey thinking about getting one for an extra hundred dollars lol.. the Anniversary edition is SO CLEAN..
The Nintendo Switch is better
Agreed, but they are two completely separate devices with different functions so I still gonna buy mine🤣
Lies
Nah
@Ineffectt Yeah
@@BigUnc78 The Switch is better because it's a hybrid console. The Play Station Portal is basically a paperweight if you don't have PS Plus premium it can't download games
this is nowhere near the best handheld stop the cap its not even top 3
