PlayStation Portal battery life: here's how long Sony's PS5 handheld lasts


The PlayStation Portal battery life rivals that of the PS5 DualSense controller

But when you consider that this is just a device used for Remote Play streaming and isn’t natively powering games like a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch ( there’s no Bluetooth either), it’s a little disappointing that it doesn’t last longer. The biggest selling point of the PlayStation Portal is that it works with the DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, and you’ll want to make the same battery-saving adjustments that you can on the PS5. Remember, the PlayStation Portal’s battery will drain faster if you have the screen on max brightness, use the built-in speakers, and have the DualSense features on their highest settings.
