PlayStation Portal: Design

According to Sony’s press release, PlayStation Portal streams PlayStation 5 games over Wi-Fi and features an eight-inch LCD display with 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second. The price of PlayStation Portal is $199.99 and this console will be launched before the end of 2023.

Although the design of PlayStation Portal is a bit strange, it seems somewhat familiar to us. This design is not much different from the best handheld consoles in the market in terms of the arrangement of buttons and handles.

Why shouldn’t PlayStation 5 stay on for no reason?

PlayStation Portal is equipped with a USB-C port for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom. In its upper part, there are two speakers and a volume control button. The arrangement of buttons and knobs is very similar to the DualSense controller.
PlayStation Portal: Display

According to Sony, the PlayStation Portal features an 8-inch LDC display with a 1080p resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. This display has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is compatible with the aspect ratio of most PlayStation games.

Although the brightness and color accuracy of this display are not known, but the 1080p resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate are expected to provide high-quality and accurate images. It should be noted that this 8-inch screen will be larger than the 7-inch screens of Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.

PlayStation Portal connects to your PS5 wirelessly via Wi-Fi so you can easily transfer games from PlayStation 5 to PlayStation Portal. PlayStation Portal can play supported games that are installed on PlayStation 5 and use the DualSense controller.

PlayStation Portal: Technical Specifications

As a game streaming device, this console does not need a powerful chip and graphics processor, but since the DualSense controllers last between 6 and 12 hours on a single charge, it is expected that the PlayStation Portal will have a high battery life. So even if its battery lasts 6 hours, this number will be much more than the charging of the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally with a battery life of less than 2 hours.
