The PlayStation Portal is a $200 handheld device that puts PS5 games in the palm of your hand… as long as you’re on Wi-Fi. Previously known as Project Q, Portal uses the PS5’s remote play feature to stream games from your console. Importantly, the Portal also offers all the features and ergonomics of the PS5’s excellent DualSense controller, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and its touchpad.

As a reminder, the PlayStation Portal, or Project Q, is (according to leaks) based on Android. It doesn’t run the games itself, it merely streams them from your PS5 and your handheld then serves as a controller with its own display.

I’m wondering why anyone would prefer that over simply using a regular Android phone with a good controller and the PS Remote Play app?

Yes I know what Android is lol. My point is that Android is too bloated for purpose built product like this. Your better off doing it yourself and building only what need.
