Wifi 6 and 6Ghz are two separate things. Wifi 6 is the protocol while 6Ghz is the band you are connecting on. So if you connect to 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, or 6Ghz you will still be using WiFi 6 (if you have a Wifi 6 router and WiFi 6 device). Technically if you connect on 6Ghz that is known as Wifi 6E.
I didn't put words in your mouth, your talking about streaming a game and comparing it to a native game on other devices that can stream but chose to pretend it's not possible.
It might be playable to you, for me playing 30fps game with 5 frames of lag is unplayable, and don’t forget the picture quality is bad, feels like there is Vaseline all over the screen.
Sony this is just embarrassing.
Is this bait?
But its not a piece of shit. This is my main issue with the review. It gives the impression that the device sucks when its anything but. Richard is way too harsh on it. No wonder sony didnt send him a review copy. They have him read like an open book. I bet he doesnt get the pro either after all the nonsense they have been spouting off saying its not needed whilst bitching about 60 fps modes in games dropping below 1080p. DF is literally fucking losing it.
This part of the review is nonsense. Ive not seen any of this. You can try this right now on your ipad or phone. See if you can notice the lag, the banding or the compression. Like i said earlier, Horizon FW was the only game where i saw compression artficats but they went away when i switched to 60 fps. game has too much detail. 30 fps modes on Callisto, Spiderman 2 and ratchet are fine.
Again, nonsense. I literally just tried Spiderman 2 on my 5G phone connection and it was fine. Not as responsive as my home internet but still very playable. Switched to 60 fps and it smooth as fuck. Again, you can try this on your phone right now.
you dont need to connect directly. but you might need a good router. upgrade your damn router. its especially nowadays when you might have 20 devices connected at once in a house like i do. this in 2005.
Should, but not unacceptable. the screen is gorgeous. I put it next to my oled in game mode, and the colors still looked vibrant.
fair enough. I;ve not tried the device myself so I should hamper my critique.
So you have never used this device and cherry picking "reviews" to call it embarrassingIt might be playable to you, for me playing 30fps game with 5 frames of lag is unplayable, and don’t forget the picture quality is bad, feels like there is Vaseline all over the screen.
Steam deck with Chiaki4Deck seems to have less lag than this
No, its a fact. Switch is on par with the PS3. This thing is streaming games running natively on my PS5. Why is this so hard? It doesnt matter if the portal is not running it natively because the end result is an image that is vastly superior to what i get on my switch.
I tend to agree with

this feels more like a PS5 in my hands than doing a dualsense/Ipad remote play 
adamsapple
but damn this device is breaking people, its amazing how its hurting people's minds that some of us are actually enjoying it
I know. I have been telling people to do this to try out the tech themselves in literally every single post ive made in this thread. But what matters is the end result when comparing it to something like the switch which DF are very forgiving with. Same goes with the steam deck. So many of the latest games have them settling for 720p using FSR2 performance to get them to run on the deck at 30 fps. Thats 360p internal resolution at low settings. And they are like what a miracle!!!! Meanwhile this thing is running/streaming the actual PS5 game in all its 10 tflops glory and he's like but what if you have bad wifi??
Does that matter?
I tend to agree with
It just feels like a gaming device
This isn't directed at you
Maybe its because I have a stellar router but this thing performs quite well around my house
I was replying to the "this is a PS5 in my hands" comment specifically.
Its for sure not doing anything different but with the built in dual sense it does feel more like a PS5 in the palm of my hand than anything else out there
And this here is the issue, if it was $100 people would have way lower expectations.
I think people understand that it's not a replacement for their ps5, but a benefit for those with tv sharing or a quick five minutes at work. I doubt anyone is saying that they lost an esports match because of the lag on their portal.
OLED tvs are way too expensive nowadays. I wouldnt call LCD legacy. Steam deck came out last year and didnt have an OLED screen until just last month. Most other pc handhelds arent OLED. 99% of the tablets arent oled. The computer monitor you are using isnt OLED unless you spend $899 on the LG 42 inch at black friday. hell, i have an iphone 14 pro which came out last year. my wife's iphone 14 is still LCD. hardly legacy.
lcd was never good. At best it was acceptable, especially on phones. But on monitors? always bad
I know and it might sound hyperbolic, but it isn't far from the truth.
Thats ok. Fair complaint. Still doesnt make it a piece of shit device like some people are making it out to be.
Nah man. I bought the Sony x900H and the LGCX oled back when the PS5 came out within 2 weeks of each other. The difference is there but the games look phenomenal on both tvs. also, the HDR on the OLED tvs isnt very bright. hell, my ks8000 from 2016 has brighter HDR. I only use it for watching movies and tv shows, and i never get the feeling that im losing out on anything.
They're just salty Sony didn't make a Vita successor
There is a vast difference between the LCD used in the original Steam Deck and the one in the Portal.

I think what he meant was, get a good tablet with a1080p 60hz display, then disassemble a DualSense controller and then carefully cutting it in half, probably mold a new housing so that you can attach that Controller to the tablet and then wire the controller directly into the tablet somehow (so you'll need to be very good at electronics), then take a rom dump of an actual Portal and change the OS on the tablet to that of the Portal OS (you'll need to hack the portal and tablet to do that so you may have to wait until a hack is available, along with creating your own drivers for the hacked DualSense). Then you'll be close to replicating the experience, simples.
Well, I'm using it and have no complaints (other than account switching), so... whatever

How to use DualSense wireless controllers with PC, Mac, Android, and iOS
If you’d like to use your DualSense™ wireless controller with compatible games and applications on a supported device, you can connect via USB or Bluetooth® in a few steps.
mckmas8808
but its not the same "experience" as the Portal unless you meant strictly from a gameplay standpoint
The vrr shit is something Sony shouldve sorted out before launch. especially since i have the LGCX which has great VRR and gsync functionality which means every single game i play has vrr turned on. I had to turn off vrr in horizon, gow and spiderman 2 to get a smoother experience but that was an issue when i tried this on my ipad before i even bought the thing. So it was a rather quick fix. I just toggle the vrr modes when i play the games on my portal but i shouldnt have to do that.
Not all controller functions work via the app IIRC.There is an official Sony made remote play app and Sony themselves tell you how to connect a controller to play on Android or iOS tablets on their website.
Which part is the bold face lie?

Do you have a steam deck or another pc handheld to compare the streaming quality/latency with ?I don't want to speak for
But the experience of playing on the Portal overall is much more enjoyable than the tablet/phone and controller "experience"
Sadly I don't have
Alright, thanks for the reply anyway...Oh and by the way you were right, I did get used to back buttons pretty quickly, except on a steamdeck instead of a dualsense edge.
Agreed. At $200, this shouldve had OLED, HDR and bluetooth. Sony cheaped out here for some reason, but this thing still feels slick like all sony gadgets.
I was butthurt over how sony treated the vita. I still look at my vita and get turned on by how sleek it looks. But vita just proved that having dedicated handhelds is never going to work. no one wants to make games for shitty tflops. Nintendo is forcing their devs to do it but you can see, very few third party AAA devs bothered making games for it. i cant think of anyone other platinum who were willing to make AAA games on that thing.
I figured they would not giving it a glowing review as they kept saying a PS5 Pro was dumb, a team designed to compare performance of consoles being against a Pro variant
