The Wi-Fi Alliance recently certified two new PlayStation devices, identified by model numbers CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105. These devices are categorized as "Gaming Console/Peripherals" in the certification documents. The current PlayStation Portal carries the model number CFI-Y1001, suggesting these new numbers represent an updated iteration of the streaming handheld.
The certification documents indicate that both new models operate on Android 15. This detail aligns with the current PlayStation Portal, which also runs on Android, distinguishing it from the PlayStation 5 console's custom operating system. The use of Android 15 further supports the theory that these devices are updates to the PlayStation Portal.
Hardware leaker KeplerL2 previously stated that Sony was developing an "OLED version" of the Portal for release this year. While the Wi-Fi Alliance certification does not explicitly confirm an OLED screen, the new model numbers and Android OS align with the possibility of a refreshed PlayStation Portal, potentially incorporating the rumored OLED display.
The new devices are certified for 1x1 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi. There is no indication of support for 6GHz Wi-Fi or additional antennas, suggesting that the Wi-Fi capabilities for streaming may not see dramatic improvements in these potential new models compared to the current Portal.
