Corrrction: your Portal is dependent on the connection set up, not just PS5. Mine defaulted to the 2.5GHz connection instead of 5GHz which the PS5 was on. I switched it to the 5 and it’s been flawless, and I am on Starlink!

100% worth it! For my fellow gaming Husbands and Dads out there. Lemme paint the picture: You get home from work, greet the family, shower up…and instead of ducking off in the game room for the night, you grab a beer and hangout on the couch with your Portal while the wife cooks dinner and the kids are hanging out on the other couch watching Disney on the TV. Now your family feels like they’re not LOSING TIME with you, just because you’re in the same room with them. That’s honestly the way I benefit most from it. I can still game while being around my family. They love it and I love the fact I still feel connected in the moment with my family (even though I’m knee deep in Team Deathmatch) 😂 Even before bed. Instead of mindlessly scrolling on social media, i get a few games in while in bed. Definitely helps that Im a little more relaxed while gaming. Definitely worth it. 🙌🏾

This never was the case with remote play. In turn im concerned there is no option to use it directly on the same network.. that would make this device so much worse for using it at home in bed compared to a decent android tablet paired with your normal dualsense controller. I got a tablet arm for mine that can put the screen right in front of me and its perfect. Plus you get the option to use a full android tablet for media: netflix, prime, disney+, browsing. And best of all..being able to connect all your bluetooth headsets instead of paying 200 dollars for those pulse things, the price and choice for that is scummy as can be

Look up inflation from then to now it averages to about 2.56% per year which doing the math would bring something like that at around $392 with all the capabilities that everybody wants.. I get it I'm one of those people but up I'm also realistic to know that at that price I probably wouldn't be getting one. And it would most likely be 425 to 450 because now you have almost double the size and a 1080p resolution, not to mention a replicates The abilities that the dual sense has. That would put this thing in the same price range as it steam deck and probably around the same price range as when the switch 2 comes out next year.. If you were Sony would you want to compete with them after the last time you came out with something Nintendo whoop that ass.. Does it have that capabilities that we all want no is it a reasonable price and does it do the simple function that it needs to do Yes.. they came out within the last two weeks and said they plan an integrate cloud gaming. This thing is not for everybody people are complaining and it's $200 if you drink a $5 cup of coffee five days a week that's a month and a half of your ass not drinking coffee. You give people what they want is going to be a shitload of people still complaining about the price You're not going to appease everybody but what they can do is undercut their competitors like Nintendo and the steam Deck and all those other handhelds..

it will forever be a mystery to me as to why they didn't include an option to connect it directly to the console via USB-C.

Very good point. Could be a cost saving reason or perhaps they didn’t have enough time to implement and push that design/testing through for release. Not all usb c flavor is the same so I don’t think they can push out a software update for this feature request since the portal usb c only do power and no video/bluetooth out. But I do agree with u that they could/should have borrowed the psvr2’s usb c protocol to future proof this feature. My only future request is for them to allow custom button remapping on the portal. Currently the custom button mapping on the ps5 appeared to only work with the dual sense controllers and not the portal buttons (I tried). So hopefully they update this on the ps5 system or in the portal’s setting page since I don’t see that option either in the portal. Crossing fingers.

I think that everyone in God's green earth been yearning for a PS Vita 2. Maybe this is the precursor to that. Esthetically I think this device is beautiful. I love the fact that the grips are actual controllers and not thin like the Nintendo Switch. The upload portion I think a lot of people gloss over but it is extremely important to verify within your own network before getting into this device. Most people think about their download speeds but very seldom consider the upload speed. Does everyone needs this probably not, but I see more people buying this than what it is expected. I remote play using my steam deck and that works amazingly well. There are a couple of steps into getting that set up but when done properly it works well. Hopefully PlayStation copies this device and give us a PS Vita 2 soon. If it looks like this I would buy it in a heart beat. One disappointing thing about this device is the lack of Bluetooth, and the need to buy Sony licensed headphones to be able to use them with this device. Other than that great video. Keep the good work and it is refreshing to hear a non biased review. This device has been dragged through the mud just because it is not a PS Vita 2.

@@mathewtorres687 no your PS5 has to be in rest mode that way when you turn on the portal it’s going to automatically look for the console your linked to then connect to it. And you have to be on WiFi on the portal In order to turn on the console.

I'm glad Junder you said about the Portal not being for everyone, because you are spot on with that one. Don't get me wrong I can see the use case scenarios for this handheld and power to you if you are one of them, but that being said don't expect it to work outside of your home because depending it most likely WON'T happen. And don't expect it to work on Public Wi-Fi that requires you to accept their ToS, because it DEFINITELY won't work because there's no browser.

Pixel phones can share Wi-Fi with the hotspot connection. Not sure about iPhones or Samsung

It's very easy to hook up to any device that has Mobile hotspot. This guy doesn't own one. Just talking out of his ass. I was using mine in the breakroom at work yesterday. And it works awesome since I'm hardwired at home. Cat8 Baby!!

The PS5 never shows a high upload speed. I run Gigabit Connectivity via Verizon Fios in NYC. For some reason, the PS5 doesn't show the correct speed for upload.

This thing is great if you have good Internet. I recently took a road trip and couldn't use it at all, and then most hotels have wifi that you have to log into which you can't do on the portal. It's actually easier to remote play using a phone

Hey man loved the video, but only question my friends have asked me this far, this can’t be used if your PlayStation isn’t on correct? Like if you turn on the portal outside your house does it turn on your PlayStation at home?

I beat the MW3 campaign on my Portal while visiting relatives for thanksgiving. I was 200 miles from my PS5 and tethered to my iPhone 13 Pro hotspot (AT&T LTE with 1 bar reception, not 5G). It maintained 1080/60 the whole time with zero frame drops. I definitely think I got my $200 worth from Sony this time.

I’ve seen the exact opposite from other reviewers. So that means it works for some and not for others. It’s a gamble.

@@HdezJorge13 it’s not a gamble, and how it works is not a mystery. Sony provides the Remote Play network requirements in plain English. The Portal can have as low as 30 millisecond latency, but if you’re network has 100ms ping then that’s what you’ll get on the Portal. Sony says you need 15Mbps bandwidth both ways to get 1080/60 video. If you’re network has

I saw that they might or will add a streaming feature, I assumed that you could then stream directly without connecting to a PS5, but now that I see you couldn’t stream on the PS5 while using it, it might’ve been what they meant with the streaming feature. For me personally, the Portal would only be worth it if it’s not dependent on the PS. Otherwise I’d just use the iPad with a dualsense controller since it’s the same remote play anyway, with added benefits, but also not for all use cases, for mine definitely.

@thebobo0167 11 ай бұрын

You can definitely do that but your gameplay won’t be near as good as the portal. Any other device you stream it off of will have network traffic from other apps and will increase your game delay. Ps portal is made to stream and stream only.

@yafi6214 11 ай бұрын

@@thebobo0167 I don’t disagree. It might be the way to go for many, just not for me, since I’d very rarely have to use it. Also, in my experience, it wasn’t that bad on the iPad, I could clear a whole area in Bloodborne (I guess it’s obvious why this as an example) with no issues and it was a mediocre internet connection. But still, it’d be amazing if they could make it work without the PS5. One connection, less power consumption, no pairing. 🤩

That’s two totally different uses, you can’t pull out your iPad on a bus or car or at a park on the grass or walking down the street cuz you need a table to sit your iPad on. Everything fits right in your hands with the Portal
