Sorry for so many corrections, but Bluetooth is an open standard. There’s no royalties or licensing involved. It literally costs $9 for normal people to buy a BT chip. It would cost Sony less than a dollar to add this, though maybe it was tough design-wise to make it fit.
@@SnowFootprints96 I think imagining a magic button that can do a thing doesn't mean it's that easy in real life. That isn't a good out for them, because I think they should've done it, but I wouldn't assume they didn't do it because they were lazy.
Running both my ps5 and portal off wifi with 1 gig internet with no issues. Haven’t tried the portal outside my home yet, will see how that goes! Lol people talk way too much shit nowadays, it’s a great device for the right person.
The battery bares are represented in 33% so if you have 3 bares it’s 99% full charge 2 bares is 66% and 1 bare is 33% left and when the Portal says low battery that’s 5% left.
Dad with a 4 mo old. I don't have time to settle in and fire up the PS5, let alone take precious TV time from the wife. This a blessing especially after some settings tweaking for performance on the PS5 (just Google ps portal lag issues for fixes).
For me 2.4ghz is already good enough. Switching from WiFi to a wired connection is what made all the difference. Now I can comfortably play FF16 with perfect performance.
Asus rog ally 100% better this is a POS mirroring device, alot of lag and you can't do anything without wifi and you can't do anything really even with wifi
Dude, I love that they added the Bluetooth update to the Nintendo switch. It makes a big difference in the gameplay. Plus, I can connect it to my car’s Bluetooth and play the sound though my car’s speakers.
Love the PlayStation portal, great experience at work are on the go using my phones hotspot I have AT&t unlimited... At home fantastic experience all around my home... Sony did a great job introducing this now I'm waiting for the PlayStation Portal pro you know it's coming
Or if you want to play PS5 away from home. I use it whenever I go visit my parents (which is pretty much every weekend) and it works just as well there as my own house. It has pretty much doubled my weekly gaming hours, lol.
Hi. Just watched your video and one thing I picked up in was your battery life. I get on average 6 hours. Haptics at medium, screen brightness at about 50%, mic light off, led lights on. That's 2 hours more than yours. Very strange. I'm in the UK so not sure if models are different. Great video btw. I'm hardwired to a router booster , so then wireless to the router. 😊
Not to defend backbone but the remote play app has basically the same setup as the portal. You said it takes 10-20 seconds. It took me 13 seconds to close TH-cam and get into Spider-Man including load times. Also, your internet speed has nothing to do with streaming when you’re at home because it’s not going through the internet, just your home network. Great choice upgrading the router, that’s the most important thing. Hardwiring the ps5 is a necessity because streaming over WiFi on ps5 and controller side just sucks.
Here’s my tips upgrade your router use a 5GHz band not the 2.4GHz band. Dont use your service providers wifi built into the modem plug a Ethernet cable into the modem then into your wifi router and connect the Portal to that access point not the modems access point. Buy a wifi extender and mesh it with your router to keep the signals strong. Plug your PS5 in wired not wireless. And lastly turn off the setting on the PS5 that boots the tv up with the console this will stop the console from outputting a signal until the TVs turned on.
@@chocolatewheelchair well do you want it to work good or not. I was having some stuttering issues and it was from my router that was over 10 years old. I was already thinking of upgrading it anyways so I did and I also bought a wifi extender to use with my router in mesh mode. You gotta upgrade sometimes to keep up with the tech.
I fear that thanks to this device the gaming industry will start normalizing at-home "portable" gaming and all other big companies will start releasing their version of the same type of thing. I can really only think of one moment when you'd truly sort of benefit from this thing at home and that's while in the restroom, but in all honesty if you can't even wait until your number is finished before hopping back on your ps5 something is likely very wrong with you (gaming addiction). Please, dont game and shit, it's not sanitary to handle your gaming devices while pooping. Thats a fact. Now, if you truly enjoy playing on a much smaller screen in the room right next door to your set-up, good for you! You possess qualities beyond most of us' comprehension. If you're not in the gaming room, chances are you're keeping yourself busy with other things. That's how I see it. So it makes no sense to try and force gaming while taking care of other activities
For me my gaming room is downstairs and sometimes I don't want to go downstairs to play the game I want to play. Its like having a portable ps5 in the house. Also when I want to be in the same room as wife and kids while they are watching TV.
Internet speeds have nothing to do with your portal experience when playing on a lan. Besides initial checkin, the portal does not utilize internet. All streaming is done within the lan.
I got this and i’ve been running overtime on that thing in my bed played almost the whole game of ff16 and nier automata next to my sleeping wife it will be even better when they make a update so that we can use media services on it like netflix etc
I’m not gonna criticise this device as I’m looking forward to the hacking community to do sum pretty sick mods to it and make it do sum pretty cool things
Great shots! There are a few apps to see wifi strength (dBm). Also there may be QoS rules set up on public Wi-Fi networks or even your own that may hinder the experience. - Ner
I been a day one preorder I’ve tried wired not wired in home out of home on 5G and wired console I still get the drops in connection and massive drops in frames , after it disconnects and reconnects the frames are stable but mostly only for about 15 to 20 mins
by the way airplane mode is great to have on to save battery it will turn off bluetooth and whatever else but it really works good on airplane mode i use wifi on airplane mode all the time on my phone as well it really helps with the battery when i just need wifi nothing else
Thanks for the review. I'm still not convinced to go and buy it, just because I can't afford the PS5 yet. But I can see it in a future once it becomes complete portable gaming.
So the fact that you need to be running this thing on an optimal wifi network means that it is completely useless outside of your house. Making the whole point of the console redundant. Waste of money by the sounds of it
I like my ps portal but why did sony not inclued some sort of protection? And the ps portal use a snapdragon 662 mobile chip it can at least handel youtube or some small games and some emulation and i really hope sony put some ps1 games maybe just maybe some ps2 games on it for offline use. I hope sony still have not lost any hope in handheld gaming they could make a handheld with the new snapdragon chip that is a lil bit faster then appels A17 that runs AAA Games
I bought it and it was having terrible frame skipping so I returned it. I heard that the updates fixed it, so I was able to re-acquire it from Best Buy luckily. It was still doing the same thing. I have terrific Hi-speed internet. The Portal is the absolute best feeling handheld I've ever touched. Sadly the execution is terrible. I should not have to sit next to my system for it to run smoothly. Returned it again.
Its been running smoothly for me, theres alot of videos of how to optimize your performance with the portal. I dont own a 6 wifi router, i use a extender with lan connection hooked up to my ps5. Playing ff16 and armored core 6 on it has been a joy on it.
Your telling me you think $200 is worth it? Get a PSP and jailbreak it!! You know you were gonna get hate on this vid. Try selling the snake oil too someone who cares. I'll emulate that on my phone here is a couple years anyway so what's the value?
Everyone waiting for a PS VITA no no no PS PORTABLE is the ps vita just accept it and it’s not ONLY $200 dollar for this device because you still need a ps5 console that cast $500 that mean you need $800 dollars to play PLAYSTATION PORTABLE 💯
Great video i should of got it when pre order was available once it’s become available again ima jump on it also if you are selling your modded ps vita definitely hit me up
It's apologetic response like this is the reason why Sony can keep getting away treating their customers like trash. Doing the bare minimum. No one asked for this garbage. It's limited, it's badly designed, overpriced, and it reeked of anti consumer practice all over it. With the success of the switch, steamdeck and the rise of handheld pcs and retro handhelds, you'd think Sony realizes the demand for handheld. That they could've applied all the lessons they learned from the psp and vita. Two devices that were ahead of their time. And this is the best they can come up with? Ponies should really demand more to sony to try harder. Don't let them keep on getting away with this.
“Garbage” to those who wanted it to be a stand alone console. I guess? But for a remote play in home extension of your PS5 it is great 👍🏽 IF you have good internet
Is it really that much of a hassle to set up remote play? Mines isnt that hard to do with my Samsung Galaxy Tab Ultra. Maybe it is just your ipad giving you issues.
I REFUSE to buy something that demands wifi That's ridiculous and defeats the purpose of a portable system. The fact it literally isn't one. Just play your playstation.
Who wants to carry a PlayStation everywhere you go ? Especially if you’re traveling a lot and just want to play your ps5 games on the go . Not meant to be an old school psp or ps vita . Embrace the device for what it is 🤷🏾♂️

That’s not what I read when I searched it
@@JayBoyModz there’s a registration fee to be listed as certified but no ongoing fees. $5k up front is pocket change for Sony.
I think it's the codec that's the problem, as it's a gaming specific device, you need a low latency connection like aptx etc
@@qwipz That is not that hard to do, if 200 dollar phones can do it then Sony can with this device.

It would be worth it at $99
That's true
It's a good device I have one but yeah probably should have been 99 bucks
Played The Finals in Vegas airport using their wifi while waiting for a flight and it actually ran pretty decent , I was shocked
Running both my ps5 and portal off wifi with 1 gig internet with no issues. Haven’t tried the portal outside my home yet, will see how that goes! Lol people talk way too much shit nowadays, it’s a great device for the right person.
Try playing online multi-player and tell us how it goes😂
@@wtfisupI've played street fighter and it was ok. Definitely not ideal. It's meant for more single player experiences
@@wtfisupi play warframe and gta on it, it’s doable
@wtfisup thankfully I don't play garbage call of duty. I played the entire phantom liberty on the portal it was awesome
It’s not about internet speed it’s about overall wifi coverage.
The battery bares are represented in 33% so if you have 3 bares it’s 99% full charge 2 bares is 66% and 1 bare is 33% left and when the Portal says low battery that’s 5% left.
To get battery charge percentage, shutdown the device. Then press On/Off button once and battery charge percentage will be displayed on screen.
Dad with a 4 mo old. I don't have time to settle in and fire up the PS5, let alone take precious TV time from the wife. This a blessing especially after some settings tweaking for performance on the PS5 (just Google ps portal lag issues for fixes).
If you have lag issues then you need to adjust your wifi connection settings accordingly: change it from 2.4ghz to 5ghz for the best experience
I did that and it made a minimal difference as far as the portal
Or move to a country that not have internet connection from a past century 😬
For me 2.4ghz is already good enough. Switching from WiFi to a wired connection is what made all the difference. Now I can comfortably play FF16 with perfect performance.
Just realised my Asus RT n56u router is 10 years old and still kicking :))
Everything works flawlessly, portal included
The portal is very good at what it does , all Sony need to do is a firmware to release the Bluetooth and WiFi functions properly and it will be super
It’s a piece of garbage we need a real PlayStation, portable
But it keeps selling out ? Hmmm
You used one?
That's how I felt until I used one. Now I play my PS5 more than I've ever used it in the 2 years of owning it.
Asus rog ally 100% better this is a POS mirroring device, alot of lag and you can't do anything without wifi and you can't do anything really even with wifi
@@UTubeGeniussame
30mb down is not good internet in 2024. But realistically its a router issue not a speed issue for local connection.
Dude, I love that they added the Bluetooth update to the Nintendo switch. It makes a big difference in the gameplay. Plus, I can connect it to my car’s Bluetooth and play the sound though my car’s speakers.
Listen, make a homebrew to transmit your pc into it. And then we are talking.
i just brought mines today ive seen so many reviews that now im excited for it
I’m just getting this to play in the apartment or when I go to someone else’s house.. definitely not trying to use while out and about
Use it laying in my bed when I don’t feel like booting my tv up.
Love the PlayStation portal, great experience at work are on the go using my phones hotspot I have AT&t unlimited... At home fantastic experience all around my home... Sony did a great job introducing this now I'm waiting for the PlayStation Portal pro you know it's coming
Glad to hear it’s been working out for you!
The only reason its good for is if you want to use the ps5 but still allow someone to use the tv connected to your ps5 at the same time
Or if you want to play PS5 away from home. I use it whenever I go visit my parents (which is pretty much every weekend) and it works just as well there as my own house. It has pretty much doubled my weekly gaming hours, lol.
Hi. Just watched your video and one thing I picked up in was your battery life.
I get on average 6 hours.
Haptics at medium, screen brightness at about 50%, mic light off, led lights on. That's 2 hours more than yours.
Very strange. I'm in the UK so not sure if models are different.
Great video btw. I'm hardwired to a router booster , so then wireless to the router. 😊

under 200$? where all the ones im seeing are damn near 300$
They’re rip off artists.
Honestly the lag input all comes from just unplugging your hdmi 😂
i glad this can connected headphone jack ohh wait
You will get a battery percentage displayed when the PS Portal is shutdown and charging.
What's the credit in a portable system if you can't take it with you anywhere you go. Plus it looks as bad as the PlayStation 5
I honestly thought it got cancelled
