The PlayStation Portal, Sony’s small-screen Remote Play solution for the PS5. With Remote Play already working great on tablets and phones, and controller solutions like the Backbone designed specifically for playing console games remotely, the Portal seemed like a solution to a problem no one had. Why spend $200 on a single-purpose device when there are much cheaper solutions already available? And yet, after spending time with the PlayStation Portal, I gotta say… this thing rules.

 it’s an extremely high-quality 8″ LCD screen. That’s much bigger than my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and it really looks fantastic. Colors are extremely vivid and absolutely pop. There’s no smearing or ghosting whatsoever, and when things are in motion they look exactly like you’d expect them to look. The viewing angle, too, is quite nice: you can freely tilt it in whatever way is most comfortable while you’re using it without losing color or detail.
