Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Ayaneo's Pocket Fit, would it fit in your pocket?

 Ayaneo has yet another handheld retro/modern gaming device up on Indiegogo. With the bold claim in the name of Pocket Fit.

Packing a 6-inch HD 144Hz screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite processor or a G3 Gen 3 depending on your budget, either way, there's plenty of power under the hood and it does look good, with all the mod cons like Hall Effect controls and decent ergonomics. 

The Indiegogo backer starter price is currently around £177, which is pretty sane considering some of the portable options out there. With processor, memory and storage options taking it up the brackets to £250 and topping out at £377 for 24GB of memory and 1TB of storage, which feels excessive. 

For now, my Miyoo Mini remains my go to pocketable device, and I can't see that changing any time soon.
