You actually raised a very good question about the "accessible" battery... Here in Europe starting 2027 all portable devices will have MANDATORY replaceable batteries, and just like you said, this is a device that will be around for another 5/6 years, I can already imagine the headaches for these big companies - smartphones, gaming consoles, etc... It will be hell. By the way, how did it end up with the right controller ribbon? And concluding, this really shows that this device is definitely not user-friendly and I can already see the amount of technicians running through this video just for potential future repairs/mods...

Yeah, I've heard that and it's already forcing some companies to change. I know that's why Apple changed to USB-C, even if they'll never admit to it. This will definitely need a redesign for that because it is not accessible at all. Same will go for the next generation Switch. It will be a bit of a crazy transition for the companies, but hopefully it won't be terrible. (Granted, I live in the US, and I don't even know if most or any of the changes will affect us here)

The best thing you can do is add antennas like I did. It really improves the signal strength and actually makes it where it works without disconnecting so much through walls and everything else and you can now download at the same time and not have tons of issues like before if you just add some extra antennas, I really don’t know what PlayStation was thinking. There is three antennas in their total two of them are dedicated for their new headphones and one of them is dedicated for the Wi-Fi service which is a little bit ridiculous so I added a few more and fix the problem.

I'm not sure since it's hard to tell exactly from the video, but the battery "stickers" you ripped off seems like they might be battery pull tabs like those typical of that you find on phones So next time maybe try pulling gently and very slowly and carefully on them, also try pull them as flat as possible, as in at 180 degrees relative from the battery not 90 degrees angle That's how those pull tabs works the best, if you have or can make the clearance (but still it can break if you're impatient and pull too hard too fast, so just try carefully and slowly)

You’ll need the internet to get your Portal setup initially (sign into PSN, download a patch, etc.) but once you’re up and running you will only need your router assuming your PS5 and remote play device are both connected to it. Then you’d only need internet afterwards for firmware updates down the road. For example- I have 2 PS5s. One is wired to my main router and my 2nd is on WiFi in my basement. I fully intend on taking out an old router, wiring it to my second PS5, and using it for remote play in the event my primary ps5 is being used by a family member and I want to remote play off my 2nd PS5. So on my second PS5 if I want remote play- plug in the Ethernet cable. Want to play PS5 normal? Unplug it and it will switch over to my main routers wifi with internet.

If it was stand alone as in wi-fi connect like the old ps console were then great but it's NOT it a £200.00 Paper weight for playing games while sat on the toilet in your own hose in the next room to your PS5. total waste of money spent it on games instead.

this was such a wasted opportunity for sony to make MILLIONS. literally slap an arm processor in that shell, maybe shrink it down, and then optimise like a few games for it. then they can figure out the rest. its not like sony is making many good blockbuster titles for the ps5, why can’t they do it for a second one in the lineup?

They don’t want to fracture their main flagship machine market…they want you to be on PS5 and eventually Pro/6, same as why the PSVR2 will not work outside of PS5, these are like props to boost PS5 numbers, and ticks in boxes for those choosing right now to go Switch, Xbox, PC or PS. On paper it looks good to have both VR and Portable, even if the portable is locked to stream you console only.

@@joogled1839 difference now however is there are hundreds of handhelds around, back then it was rare so Sony had a huge chunk of the market. To do that now that chunk is not going to be theirs, it’s filled, with Nintendo, Retroid, Ayn, Aya Neo, Miyoo, Anbernic, Steam, Logitech, Powkiddy, Gameforce, GPD etc just so many

Pre release it was running a stock android, so it's feasible. The portal also has Airplane mode, which is odd as that is for Bluetooth connectivity, meaning it likely has Bluetooth in the WiFi radio that's disabled. Time will tell if someone roots it and runs a custom version of android.

No hall effect sticks, no real user replaceable battery (despite the new EU regulation making those mandatory in the near future) and lackluster bluetooth audio support and no browser (required to access certain public hotspots) make this one of the most half-arsed products of the year.
