I kinda have a feeling a lot of folks were like me, bought it and then never use it. Seemed like a must-have gadget but it really is a phone with a dualsense. No “secret sauce” (digital foundry) to streaming from ps5, just the same experience as every other device capable of streaming ps5 game play.

That's what I had heard. I would have gotten one for a reasonable price. Or if it had PSP/Vita capabilities baked in. I ended up just getting a backbone for my phone and using remote play instead.
I bought a deck instead, and it turns out 80% of my game time is on Chiaki4Deck, streaming my PS5. I don’t regret the purchase, but I do miss those haptic dualsense features. However, Deck has OLED and HDR streaming. Plus 720p resolution is more stable than 1080p.
Chiaki4Deck is amazing and added a lot for me. Don't have to stop playing FF7:Rebirth when someone else wants the TV 😄 Just pause, switch over, and keep playing. PS Portal seems like a good idea until you realise your phone can do the same thing with your existing controller and a £10 attachment.
I did (pre steam deck) get Chiaki working on my homebrew switch. It was okay, but nowhere near as good as the deck is performance wise.
Edit: Word
Guess we can kiss goodbye the idea of having another PSP in the future then...
I use mine almost every day. I'm a business owner, husband, and father of 3 boys, so I can't always retreat to a game room for hours to game. The portal is perfect for when I have a little bit of time. It's quick and dead simple to pick up whatever game where I left off, and put it down when something needs my attention.
That's what I like about my Steam Deck, so it's awesome the Portal has filled that niche as well.
This is why I use my Steam Deck to remote play my PS5.
Just FYI for anyone who has a Steam Deck, you don't need this product. Look up Chiaki (or Chiaki4Deck for a Steam Deck-specific fork). Works very well.
