Inside the Sony PlayStation Portal: Unveiling the Qualcomm SG4150P Chip and 16.6 Wh Battery
A teardown of the Sony PlayStation Portal handheld gaming device reveals that it is not designed to be user repairable and features a Qualcomm SG4150P chip, Samsung LPDDR4x memory, and a 16.6 Wh battery. The SG4150P processor is speculated to be a budget chip from Qualcomm's new Snapdragon G1 or G2 series processors designed for handheld gaming devices. While the Portal's operating system is Android-based, it is unclear how well the processor can handle anything other than the default Sony software. The device works as promised for streaming games from a PlayStation 5 console, but hacking the system to load third-party apps or games may be challenging.
