When the PlayStation Portal was first announced, I was incredibly excited by the idea of a first-party product that would allow me to play my PS5 games handheld. After months of anticipation, the product seemed less appealing by the day, with a lack of BlueTooth support, slow, last-generation Wi-Fi 5, and the same awful battery life as my DualSense.
Last week, I wrote an article about the PS Portal and why I would buy a BackBone One instead when Black Friday arrives. I ended up caving in and purchasing a PS Portal to make sure I gave the product a fair chance; here are my thoughts and comparisons with my current remote play setup on iPhone and iPad so you can see what works best for you and opt for the right purchase this Black Friday.
