It's a great portable streaming device. Easy to pair up to ps5. The graphics are nice, but only as nice as your Internet connection. Bad internet connection = bad graphics and terrible lag. \n\nThis can be used while away from home, but note that this isn't a separate ps5, it only streams what is already on your ps5. So if your connection is bad on either end, it can cause issues. Or if you have a power outage where main console is, you may come across issues of reconnection. Someone in the room with your ps5 can also watch you play on the big screen if the tv is on—sound included. Was pretty funny watching my spouse play and he didn't know I could hear and see his gameplay. \n\nHas an aux where you can use headphones. Also can use wireless ones. C-cable charging port. Volume level is decent, good enough for me to hear. \n\nThe controls are simple and easy to use. The interface is easy and can access Home Screen easily. The touchpad is a little tricky, but I got it after a few guesses (double tap right and left on screen). Touch pad works well. The screen is very slim and I'd keep away from young ones who can't handle this yet as it can break very easily if dropped. No case comes with it, so I'd also highly suggest buying a case for it to rest in.\n\nCharge is great. This was keeping me occupied for 4 hours and didn't even have the charge warning yet, but was pretty close to 1 bar. So it does have a decent battery life. \n\nLove it and works well for me especially if I want to play games near my spouse or if I'm away from home.

Great Product! Sony did great with this one. The graphics, sound, controller response, imho are all excellent. It does take a little adjusting at first, but it is Just as immersive as playing directly on your console! \n\nMy honest review: The Portal only works on your local network and your PS5 MUST BE ON THE SAME NETWORK. This isn't a device that you can travel with and play remotely from another location. I got it because sometimes I want to play on the couch or in bed. \n\nIt literally is your console at the palm of your hands. It does require a strong and a consistent WIFI connection. \n\nThe screen is a nice size (think 9” screen about the size of an iPad mini). It is relatively big in size( Much bigger than the BackBone attachment to your phone). Sony's is all one device. Which makes it a handful!\n\nI do wish that Sony would've made it the screen “tiltable”, so that I wouldn't have to bend my neck downwards, during long play. \n\nEven though I wish the price point wasn't up there, if you are a modernity serious gamer, and you don't always want to sit in front of your console for hours, this is truly the device to get! \nI hope my review helps🥰!

Great graphics and a nice screen size. I previously owned the Switch OLED, and after comparing the two, the PS5 feels more like a small computer in your hands. Streaming works great, and even if you don’t own a PS5, you can subscribe to the PS Plus service to stream games and save your data.\n\nSpeaker quality is much more immersive when using headphones, giving you a surround-sound experience similar to playing on a TV console. I would recommend avoiding games like Astro Bot on this device, as it relies heavily on motion controls. Having to move the controller to complete certain actions while simultaneously watching the screen can be disorienting and may cause dizziness.\n\nLastly, a major draw back is not have dedicated games to put in the device to truly make this a portable device, rather than asking for everyone wifi everywhere you go. For that reason this controller loses a star.

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

I had tried remote play on other devices with varying degrees of success so i wasnt sure what to expect. I bought this out of FOMO and im so glad I did. \n+Screen is a good size and colors pop. \n+Battery life is sufficient. \n+Easy to use. \n\n-The volume scaling is not great. The first nitch up from silent is too loud. Needs to be about half what it is. \n-No third party bluetooth head phone support. C'mon Sony. Make great headphones and people will buy them. You dont have to force people with gate keeping. \n\nAll in all, I love this thing. Connectivity will vary but with the right set up its honestly real close to playing natively on my PS5. Ive seen this called the "Dad Station" and that describes what i love about it most. I can play and do other ghings at the same time.

Most of my library is physical discs, going back to the OG PS. This uses only your digital unless you leave a disc in the tray when you leave. The wifi on this does not seem steady. My PS5 at home is hard-wired. The wifi in the areas I tested were very strong and steady. Diablo kept stuttering, Space Marine 2 bogged down too slow, and Ghost of Yotei would have frames missing. 8 8-inch screen is quite small for these games. Sound is good for the most part. It's sturdy in the hand and has some good heft. Use a 3.5 mm headsets unless you us Sonys audio sets. Its decent to have but not at full price.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·KIYA
This device is a lot of fun and works very well if you have strong, stable Wi-Fi. When the connection is good, gameplay is smooth, looks great, and feels responsive, making it easy to enjoy PlayStation games without being stuck in one place. However, Wi-Fi quality matters a lot—if your internet is weak or unstable, the lag can be bad and negatively affect the experience. It is also important to note that if you have T-Mobile, the hotspot does not connect properly. I tried multiple times, and it did not work, so this is not a good option if you plan to rely on a T-Mobile hotspot. Overall, it is a great device for home use with good Wi-Fi, but not ideal for mobile hotspot use.

The Portal's overall build quality and presentation is great. Unboxing and setup is simple. Giving you the option to play without the tv tied up is a nice choice to have, if anyone else is watching something or playing another console on it. There can be some issues with connection depending on your network and it takes some technical knowledge to get it running 100% smoothly. But most games it runs flawlessly. Battery life isn't terrible but it does seem to run low rather fast.

The PlayStation Portal worked pretty good overall, just wasn't exactly what I expected at first. It's not a standalone gaming system, so you do need a PS5 at home with good WiFi for it to really work right. When the internet is strong it actually plays pretty smooth and looks good. But if your internet isn't great, it can get laggy and the frames drop sometimes. Still a cool device though if you already got solid internet and a PS5 setup.

great bang for your buck when it comes to mobile gaming solutions. yes it requires a PS5 to remote play to, but it's 20% the cost of the closest competitor that doesn't require a console. \n\neven getting a PS5 and this bundled together saves you 300-400 dollars over the true mobile gaming solution. \n\nI've used it for a few weeks now and haven't come across a game that won't work on the device. yes the screen is smaller than a TV when it comes to reading things, but it's easy to adapt to it. \n\nI highly recommend the portal for a PlayStation gamer looking for a solution for gaming on the go

My son got the PlayStation Portable Remote for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. It's easy for him to use, comfortable to hold, and works smoothly with his PlayStation. He enjoys being able to play his games without always needing the TV, which is a big plus in our house. The screen quality is clear, the controls are responsive, and it keeps him entertained for hours. Overall, it was a great Christmas gift and definitely worth it. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to other parents looking for a fun gaming option for their kids.

Overall, it's a pretty good machine, but I ultimately ended up returning it. Aside from some occasional lag, my main issue was with syncing; a lot of the time, my gameplay on the Portal wouldn't sync up with my PS5, or vice versa. When you couple those connectivity headaches with the mandatory monthly subscription cost just to play online, it just wasn't worth keeping.

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.

Preface with you must already own a PS5, have access to strong WIFI, and if you want to stream games, you need the max PS Plus subscription. Unless you travel a lot and solely play PS5 games it may not be worth the buy. Otherwise, functions very well and looks very good. No issues with device that I can report - most come from WIFI streaming issues.

The only thing I do not appreciate is that you can't play the portal and also play a different game on the PS5 at the same time. You also have to be connected to the same internet connection as the ps5 so I can't take the portal on car rides. Sadly, It's collecting more dust than I intended too thanks to these restrictions.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Khojane
This beautiful device does feel like holding a dualshock controller with the screen replacing the touchpad, as promised. However, it is very weak at capturing wifi, and does not recognize a premium subscriber to stream games per last update. if i have not started the game in my ps5 and then switch to the portal, it will not play. i have tried multiple wifi sources to eliminate the issue being with my router, and found the portal unable to fulfill its marketed role. My phone can use remote play and connect where the portal can't, and I have a galaxy from many years ago; doesnt make sense remote play on my phone is better than whatever the portal is intended for. furthermore, the portal is physically weaker/sensitive than a dualshock or dualsense; 2 days after purchase the right thumbstick got stuck against the box the device came in, and is now broken and in need of service. i bought it just before the price bump, and now I wonder if I was better off without smh. Maybe i have a model that has bad wifi and weak thumbsticks, but it has not shown itself worth the cost if you have a backbone or other gaming device that connects to your phone. Perhaps I got a bad one, and whatever comes from the warranty will solve all of my concerns.
