It looks like it's somewhat easy to replace with just unscrewing things without any soldering. I just bought one and looked into whether I should get a repair/replacement plan. I decided it should be fine without one, and self-repair will be viable if needed.

I love my PS Portal...have had one since day 1. Have taken it on vacation, to family member house and haven't had issue. I did some port forwarding and my wired connection is super strong. My only issue is screen glare in the sun.....it feels like a playing facing a mirror. After the patch for the Explore Earbuds...the combo of Portal and Explore earbuds is the closest you can get to playing on a actual PS5....which is the intent i guess. I've actually even done some Helldivers 2 co-op with it in my home and surprisingly enough it wasn't unplayable. All around great supplement to a PS5.

Plus if you go to setting and turn off the setting that boots your tv when the console turns on then you can play the portal without your tv on which is nice no need to unplug the hdmi

When you use it away from home on a different wifi or mobile hotspot, does it lose a bit of resolution and have a bit more input delay? I tried to test remote play at home on my phone with both same wifi vs mobile internet, and that's what I was seeing. But also my ps5 is not connected with Ethernet so I'd have to test how much that impacts the away from home/different network.

@Kevinferno7

4 ай бұрын

Similar position here, from recent personal experience that the wired ethernet is a lot more stable than wifi and helps with both latency as well as overall framerate. If you also have an android cell phone then it's easier and cheaper to get a decent 5G data package and tether the Portal to your portable wifi hotspot so you can basically take it anywhere and not have to worry about those website access web browser check boxes again to connect the Portal online ;)

Great video. I have a portal on the way and you answered all the questions I had about the device. I feel reassured and confident about my purchase. I bought it with the intent to use the device for exactly all the same reasons you mentioned. Cheers.

I swear if sony would have marketed this as a remote play controller, and less of a streaming console, it'd be more well received in terms of narrative.

You may be thinking, how can you even play such an High Graphic and Colorful game like Cyberpunk on a Portal? That’s simple, the connection and stability has been so much improved at the point that i cannot even see the difference from my monitor which still, it is a High flagship one from LG. i’ve never seen such a GOOD vibrant and colorful screen on a mobile device and i THINK that it is an HDR IPS panel which looks amazing.

@purepsx I have noticed a big difference. Since it runs smoother I play god of war ragnarok on it now but I mainly been playing spider-man 2, ghost recon wildlands and breakpoint, also replaying uncharted 1 after 15 years. I also play a few rally racing games when I get a chance. To all the friends and family that told me this device was stupid I've shut up a few when I let them use it. Then all of a sudden they go to websites to find it and they see it's sold out. I just find it funny that they fell to people's opinions that have KZread channels and misinformed people. I almost fell for buying a rog ally over a steam deck by youtubers but I don't let influencers influence my own opinions. You don't strike me as an influencer. You're what I think of as an informer. You tried it out and you've informed us on your trials. That's the content others have to show not what they think of sony and Xbox. I like to see facts and trials then I wanna hear the pros and cons. I only choose sony because I went from sega to sony. I played xbox with friends and other family members but ultimately I've always had large hands and the playstation layout just feels better in my hands. It's also why I went with a steam deck over an ally or any of the other handhelds. When I plays xbox with my brother my grip gets tired then I can't jam out on my guitar later. Getting older going to be 38 in a week and yeah arthritis is catching up from years of hard labor, guitar, playing and weightlifting. The last thing I need is discomfort when gaming to unwind. The portal looked silly at first but its so ergonomically better than any other handheld I've had. I give it a 9/10 BTW if you want to just relax with a good narrative game twin mirror and Detroit become human they're not my main style of games I play but great to just unwind. I also got my fiance a ps5 a year ago and a portal about a month ago and it was fun us waiting at a restaurant for an opening. Wait time was going to be 45 minutes. I ran back to the car and got the 2 portals out and played a few levels of sackboy together. No issues 2 ps5 running off the same routers running remote play. We were lucky the restaurant had open wifi

I got mines on December 23rd I've had no issues with it I did drop the resolution to 1080p and I have mines directly connected to the ethernet cable with HDR turned off and it runs smooth I've even took mines to other friends houses on their Wi-Fi And I've had no issues.. I even play on my lunch break sometimes through my phone's hotspot in a warehouse that's located on the lobby floor of a hospital where I only get three bars.. I don't play any first person shooters or are you online competitive games because it's not really made for that It's that should be pretty much given because it's a remote player. That's just my opinion based on the experience that I have had I have a friend at work in the warehouse with me who sold his and said he it was almost unplayable because of the stutter. I thought maybe I can't see this letter if there is and set him a video of me playing and he couldn't believe how smooth mine was and we both have the same internet provider And he's done all the hacks to make it supposedly run smoother..

Must be your wifi setup I’ve had no issues are you using a 5GHz connection or a 2.4GHz connection it matters. 2.4GHz can send data pretty far but a 5GHz band can send more data at once.

Need to be on a 5GHz band that can send up to 1gb of data where a 2.4GHZ can send up to 600mb.

@@frankie.M I’ve had it for about a month. I have eero 5 (3of them) mesh and my ps5 is hard wired, I have 500mg, house is only 2300ft single story, I’ve tried on the you tube setting people post, u think mine is faulty?

I bought a Portal and sold it after 3 hours of total use. The dualsense controller is unbeatable but there was a slight noticeable delay, with rare lag spikes here and there. I sold it and bought a ROG Ally. The experience has been much better for me, no lag due to the play being processed on the device itself.

I bought on day one release & I use it only when Im away for work in other countries & honestly Im extremely disappointed with it. The internet connection sucks & most of the times it disconnects & lags.

How is the image quality? Doing a 1 on 1 to the screen rendering at 1080? I see no reviewer mentioning image quality at all. In home i get an almost no latency gameplay and a decent image. Just not super sharp as the image on my screen with occasional stutters. Which makes me wonder if that is the peak or i should keep looking for network upgrades in the house. But there is absolutely zero reviews on that and everyone you ask replies "plays perfect on me!". Even if they show a video with 200-500ms delay. God.

Love your Portal videos, man! Question for you…. I just bought a beast mode router (Netgear Nighthawk CAX80, which is a WiFi 6 cable modem / router with 6gps speed)…. At my house, I have two different WiFi networks (a 5G and a 2G)…. Does it matter which WiFi network that I connect my Portal to? I’ve been running it on the 2G network, because nobody at the house uses the 2G for anything, since all of our devices are connected to the 5G. But, I’ve been thinking of switching all of our devices over to the 2G, and leaving the 5G open solely for the PS5 and Portal to connect to. Thoughts?

@purepsx

5 ай бұрын

hey thanks for the kind words! is it running fine? if it is just leave it as is, otherwise you can switch them like you said The PlayStation Portal can hop onto 2Ghz and 5Ghz bands. However, it's recommended to run it on the faster 5Ghz band if your having problems as this can help

I setup the new WiFi 6 router last night, and it played super smooth all afternoon with no lag or disconnections on the 5G network (with all of our other devices connected to the 5G band, too). It’s like you said in the video - the most important thing you can do is make sure you have a top-notch router in your home.

The sticks are not replaceable on an edge controller because it costs $200, they are replaceable for customization purposes.

Is that the matrix you're playing for ps5

Is this thing had replaceable joysticks and Bluetooth I would give it a 10 out of a 10 as of right now I give it a 8 out of a 10.. they need to find a way for people to connect to hotel Wi-Fi where you need to authenticate, coincidentally it's literally called a portal with the device the portal doesn't have the ability to because of lack of a web browser lol..

My only complaint about the device itself? The touch pad implementation is pretty poor. I know it's not the most used button on average but every time I needed to use it? Took 3 or 4 taps on the sides of the screen.

Since you get the same experience minus not having to connect a controller every time, you get a bigger screen by using a tablet like the Ipad. $100 would be worth it, but not at $200.
