Sony may be preparing the first major hardware revision of the PlayStation Portal. Two unannounced Sony Interactive Entertainment devices marked CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105 have appeared in the Wi-Fi Alliance database. The model numbers closely resemble those of the current Portal from the CFI-Y1000 family, and earlier leaks indicated the device could receive an OLED display as early as 2026.
A new generation of the Portal appears in certification
Both devices were classified as gaming hardware and, according to the documents, run Android 15. It is another hint pointing towards the PlayStation Portal, since the current model also uses an Android-based system while the PS5 runs Sony's own system. However, the OLED should not be regarded as confirmed. The Wi-Fi Alliance documentation does not disclose the display type or the remaining specifications. It is known, however, that the devices support 2.4 and 5 GHz networks in a 1x1 configuration. That means 6 GHz is missing, so there is no major leap in wireless connectivity capabilities here. OLED appears in this story thanks to earlier information from KeplerL2. The insider claimed back in January that Sony is working on a new version of the PlayStation Portal with an OLED screen, due to launch in 2026. The new documents do not confirm his information, but for the first time they show that Sony is indeed certifying new hardware within the same designation family.
The current Portal still uses an LCD
The first PlayStation Portal has an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen and allows gaming at up to 60 frames per second. Initially the device was mainly a Remote Play terminal for the PS5, but Sony has significantly expanded its capabilities. Today owners of PlayStation Plus Premium can also stream selected games directly from the cloud, without needing to have their own PS5 switched on. Switching to OLED would primarily mean deeper blacks, better contrast and improved image quality, but for now it's not yet known whether Sony will also change the resolution, refresh rate, processor or battery.
