Sony registers new PlayStation devices with Wi-Fi Alliance

Sony Interactive Entertainment has registered two new devices with the Wi-Fi Alliance, fueling speculation regarding an updated PlayStation Portal or a new handheld successor. The certified models, identified by the numbers CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105, are categorized under “Gaming Console/Peripherals.”

Technical details from the filings indicate the devices run on Android 15 and support dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), though 6 GHz support is not mentioned. The hardware includes a 3.5 mm audio jack and a USB port intended for charging. The use of Android 15 aligns with the existing PlayStation Portal’s operating system rather than the proprietary OS used by the PlayStation 5.

While the certifications do not explicitly confirm a display upgrade, the model numbering—starting with the “Y” prefix used by the current Portal (CFI-Y1000)—suggests a direct evolution of the product line. This has intensified rumors that Sony may be developing an OLED version of the device, potentially featuring a higher refresh rate to improve the streaming experience.
