Couple of additions/corrections:
I accidentally cut out one part where I mention there is no auto screen brightness and the music that plays during connecting can’t be turned off. Also with that part I accidentally cut out the remote play over Mac comparison. I'll add it as short soon.

I made a mistake about HotSpot, iPhones switch to cellular when you connect to them, but my Pixel 8 Pro doesn't do that it relays WiFi to the connected device. As some of you mentioned some Android phones allow you to use hotspot as relay, the thing threw me off about this test was my Speedtest showed Google Fi when I was testing this. However I confirmed it by putting the phone in airplane mode it does relay wifi. I

That is literally the best illustration for the Portal I have ever heard. Love your stuff man! Keep hearing positivity.

Why haven’t iphondeo million of subscribers? The videos and the technical details at this YouTube level are just amazing.

For the PS Portal has been a game changer. I now play the PS5 more than I used to. I have a solid Wi-FI connection and it’s been working perfectly. I hope they bring cloud streaming to it.

How many times am I allowed to comment? This is literally the best review I have seen for this unit, and I have watched a ton of them. I hope you know how good you are!

I had seen around 20 reviews of the playstation portal, this one is by far the most unique, engaging, fun and useful of all.

6:24 On some Android phones (esp Chinese brand), you can actually use the hotspot with WiFi connected at the same time. It will act as a repeater. So, in a captive portal hotspot, you can log in with your phone first, and then share the connection to the PS Portal.
Yes, the latency will increase, but at least it is doable (unlike on the iPhone).

This is the best review I have seen for this device. Nice job

[ThiagoBisewski]

Such an enjoyable video! I became sad when I realized the video was about to end. I love how "human" it's without leaving the technical aspects aside.

Came for the portal review, stayed cause you’re just a sweet dude and love how you involved your loved ones and got their opinions

[zakkwyldelespaul]

I don’t know why?
Everyone is complaining about this PS Portal! I’ve had since launch and absolutely love ❤️ this device! Playing Uncharted 4 remaster and loving every minute of it! Played for over 3hrs last night. Not one lost connection or issue. Highly recommend it! 👍🏼

I love the music in your review. It made this the most romantic feeling Tech review I’ve ever seen. 🥰

[khanbestopped]

I am loving my portal. I sold my steam deck in less than two months.

Made more sense for me as a father of two who just wants to game casually every now and thenIt’s very comfortable. Probably the most comfortable device I’ve held.

lol at making me think your hands were your partners at 2:14-2:17

I remember during the PS2 days seeing an advertisement in a magazine for a PS2 controller that had a built-in screen. Well three console generations later we now have one for the mainstream

[JakeCamo]

Love your videos, only thing I would love to see is a comparison in latency between portal and an iPhone with backbone or iPad with a dual sense

[Keysh_aVibe]

I just got mine and I've been enjoying it . When I'm tired of sitting at the desk I hop on my portal in the bed or on the couch. Graphics and gameplay is really good. I also tried it away from my home at a friends and it still played well. Honestly this thing for only $200 Is worth it. For those who say "I can remote play on my phone" .. It is not the same experience. And I have a z fold 5

I use it at work on my mobile hotspot it works just fine and with my explore wireless buds match made in heaven

[mathewanderson]

I love the portal, it is what I though it would be and works how I thought it would work.
