Sony certifies two new handheld gaming devices via Wi-Fi Alliance

Regulatory filings from the Wi-Fi Alliance have revealed two unannounced Sony devices, identified by model numbers CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105. The devices are categorized as gaming consoles or peripherals and are slated to run on the Android 15 operating system.

Based on the model numbering, which follows the existing PlayStation Portal series (CFI-Y1000), industry speculation suggests these devices are likely updates to the PlayStation Portal rather than a new standalone handheld like a PS Vita successor. The hardware specifications indicate support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, but notably lack support for Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7.

Analysts suggest Sony may be preparing two distinct versions of the device, potentially an LCD base model and an upgraded OLED version to compete with similar offerings from Steam Deck. While the filings do not explicitly confirm an OLED panel, the use of Android 15 aligns with the software foundation of the current PlayStation Portal streaming accessory.
