Two unannounced Sony PlayStation devices have been spotted in wireless certification documents, raising the possibility of a follow-up model to the PlayStation Portal handheld streaming device. The sightings also align with OLED-related speculation that has circulated since early this year, drawing attention to whether Sony will expand the Portal lineup.

The Verge reported on Oct. 6 that two Sony devices recently certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance were identified. The products were classified as “game console and peripherals,” with model numbers CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105. Given that the current PlayStation Portal carries model number CFI-Y1001, the new devices could be part of a next-generation Portal lineup.

The operating system also supports the view that they are Portal successors. The certification documents show the two devices run on Android 15. The current PlayStation Portal is also known to run on Android. PlayStation 5 uses a separate in-house operating system, leading to analysis that the newly spotted products are more likely streaming terminals than PS5 consoles.

The PlayStation Portal is not a traditional handheld game console that runs PS5 games on the device itself. It plays games by streaming from a PS5 at home or from Sony’s cloud. Sony said in June that cloud streaming does not require much memory on the device, adding that it could become more attractive as a low-cost thin client in an environment of rising memory prices.

The certification alone makes it hard to conclude that performance has improved significantly. The two products support 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 1x1 Wi-Fi, but no 6 GHz support was shown. There were also no signs that antenna configuration has increased substantially, leaving it unclear whether streaming performance will improve sharply.

Attention is also on whether the filings are linked to OLED-model speculation raised earlier this year. KeplerL2, known as a hardware leaker, previously claimed Sony was preparing “another version” of the PlayStation Portal for release this year and that it would feature an OLED display. The certification documents could be seen as partly consistent with that outlook.

The existing PlayStation Portal, launched in late 2023, has an 8-inch LCD. If the newly identified devices are indeed follow-up models, Sony will face a choice between limiting changes to an OLED display swap or expanding the Portal into a separate line of streaming hardware.

Sony has not made any official announcement about the products. Still, the emergence of new model numbers, an Android 15-based operating system and Wi-Fi certification information has increased the likelihood of a next-generation PlayStation Portal release.
