You need to disassemble so much to remove battery connector and make it safe from shorts by tools?
The sticks being modular is a big plus.
People the important part is your ps5 needs the strong connection it needs great upload speed consistent speeds the remote play just needs good consistent download* speeds
A bit disappointing that the battery wasn't removable from the back so you wouldn't need to remove the screen to get at it.

@@tempeenak134 Like many phones. However, with this form factor they should be able to put the battery on the other side. Most likely it increases assembly time since it can't just be dropped in like most of the other components and it would need an additional plate in between it and the screen for the adhesive strips to go. Still, the effort would have been nice to see.

Do you have any microstutters on performance mode every 10 to 15 seconds? It’s not a lag, but it’s like a brief moment of fps drop as the portal and ps5 try to sync with each other. The pa5 outputs at 59.94 hz, whereas the portal outputs at 60 causing a screen stutter

Does It have a cooling fan? I'm a little bit worried about smoking around it
I was wondering if the portal's lifespan was limited to the joysticks. However, everything else is a bit more involved but shouldn't effect the console for at least 5 years.

Can anyone tell me what is the point of every device nowadays gluing down the battery and making it as hard as possible to get access to it? It feels like 10 years ago that was never an issue. The Portal is no exception and they could have made the battery so much easier to replace without sacrificing anything. I don't get it.

@@HishamX On devices like this, when the battery dies the only way to replace it is by using a heat gun and disassembling most of it. You will also need two sets of adhesives, one for the new battery and one for the screen. Meanwhile the device could have a cover to make the battery easily accessible because its shape can accommodate it without affecting its form. I don’t understand why Sony and most other manufacturers nowadays wont design their devices like this.

Boo potentiometer sticks. I can’t believe companies went backward on analog stick tech to save a few cents and left gamers to fix their defective devices. It’s infuriating.
I am curious, if you can combine those two playstation portable controller together, and see if they would work as just controllers, even if it is smaller
So no cpu 🤔🤔
Sony should allow PS portal to connect to PS Plus Cloud gaming. It would be a game changer. If your in a large city and your got a recent smartphone and a good Mobile data plan which allows high speeds and a lot of data for tethering. Those that meet those requirements could play PS Cloud games anywhere they have good 4GLTE or 5G cell coverage. No PS5 required. Unfortunately old wrinkly, should have retired 30 years ago Japanese dudes think that this would prevent people from buying PS5 consoles. I think it could get even more people to buy PS5 so they can download those games and play them off cloud in high quality 4K graphics.
this is equivalent to wii u controller.
Awesome news, indeed about the modular thumb sticks! I got the Portal at launch and have been utterly impressed because I can play my two PS5s from anywhere.

Chinese phone makers and PC gaming gear manufacturers are laughing their asses off looking at Sony's complicated design.
Stick drift begone

If they had not soldered the vibration motors in I would buy one rn. Very cool product, and otherwise very reparable.
Thank goodness this device is so niche so most people won't have to worry about it's longevity.

I know the military grade will work in 110 degrees but I’ve yet to find a KZreadr who thinks war is not just in the desert. Any help would be appreciated

so great of sony, built with anti-repairability in mind. When the battery goes out your average joe will likely break the screen, and that was Sony's goal. This is just glorified e-waste, and the fact that you have to pay 200 for it, so lame lol
