      For people who don't know if you have a Samsung 20 note ultra and and newer your phone has the ability to Wi-Fi share..
      This can come in handy because as of right now the portal does not have a web browser which means if you're at a hotel or airport and need to sign in for authentication it can't do that. The circumvent that issue at least with Samsung phones I don't know about any other phones if you have a Samsung 20 ultra or newer The phone can share the Wi-Fi that you're using with other devices..

      Great review. Keeping it real.
      I knew what I was getting into when I bought this device. I knew what it was and wasn't. That being said, I'm blown away at how good it actually is. Just last night, my wife had a rehearsal followed by a Christmas party (which is why I was there). I was sat through the rehearsal playing on my portal tethered to my cell phone. It was AMAZING! I ran an entire deployment of MW Zombies (although it got hairy at one point due to one 2 freeze). I also played a few less demanding games and it was amazing considering I was streaming this from my console all the way back home. I do have my PS5 hard-wired.

Also, I heard that you can change your ps5 settings to improve your performance and reduce latency: remove hdmi cable from your ps5 to your tv, change your ps5 output settings to 1080p, and some other stuff that i cant remember. 😁

    Awesome video bro, you want better performance with the PlayStation Portal, make sure you PS5 is wired connection, and verify it that is it on the portal or console it self then your performance will be solid. And much better and make sure your portal is on the latest software. Also it’s a market game think about it, the portal has tons of features on it but PlayStation turns them off and will unlock them with software update same thing they did with the PS5 when it came out when you couldn’t update the SSD on it, now you can, so PlayStation wanted to see how it would do in the market and so far it’s still sold out eventually more features will be added. All part of the market, but happy holidays god bless.

They could’ve at least gave a oled 1080p screen, again this is Ps5. If you guys in the PlayStation community start settling for less than believe me Sony will continue to give us just that.

      @@mikewilds1093 cant expect a oled screen for a $200 device, controller alone is $69.99 plus tax. add in a cheap tablet and your getting a decent device for $200. Smart decision on sony to test the waters before they launch a new handheld that is a standalone device, they know the market is now getting saturated with handhelds and wanted to see if it still can warrant another handheld. however i dont trust sony to properly back a standalone so a streaming handheld that uses the ps5 i can get behind. They need to prove to the consumer they can sustain a standalone device before they even make anything else. Vr2 is failing, vita failed, ps tv failed.

    Hey Terry, great review brother. This video has great production value, I really like you were walking around your house, outside, and you have a beautiful family. You articulate your thoughts in a clear concise way that makes it chill to listen to. Also, you pretty much covered all my gripes with this device and oh boy.
    In a vacuum, the playstation portal is not a bad device. But all of the cons you brought up highlight why it's not a great device. For example, I am not currently in the Playstation ecosystem. I have PS4 I never use anymore. The reason is strictly because of Sony's outdated accessibly...
    Sony Exclusives, while maybe great for the developer, is horrible for gamers. Too many games are stuck in their ecosystem for 6 months to 2+ years... Why? What makes it worst, their cloud gaming service that includes streaming to PC... Does not include new titles like FF16 or Spiderman 2. At most they offer 1 hr trials lol.
    I already own an extremely good PC and gaming laptop... The Nintendo Switch (which I own too) is a portable device so it's giving me a different experience... Gamers are also moving away from consoles in general. There are PC handhelds and Steam Deck. If Sony actually weren't so risk adverse and created a NEW Playstation portable, you've said it yourself, you'd pay $1000 for that experience. So would I! So would so many people. But instead they are mailing it in, and this device illustrates what matters to them most. Staying the course of mediocrity. Sticking to their console model and exclusivity. This does not include me or many other gamers.
    With PS Portal, we get a product that mirrors your ps5. Which cannot beat the experience of a 12 year old device (Wii U), cannot run cloud gaming (PS Plus), does not offer bluetooth ($50 tablets offer bluetooth), and on top of that has prioprietary wireless earphones that cost almost as much as the device...
    This device in a vacuum isn't bad like you said. But Sony's reluctance to better serve the gamer is so transparent that I can't ever seem to support them.
