Sony may be preparing the first major hardware revision of the PlayStation Portal. Two unannounced Sony Interactive Entertainment devices labeled CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105 have appeared in the Wi-Fi Alliance database. The numbers strongly resemble the designations of the current Portal in the CFI-Y1000 family, and earlier leaks suggested the device could receive an OLED screen as early as 2026.
The new generation of the Portal appears in certification
Both devices were classified as gaming hardware and, according to the documents, run Android 15. It's another hint pointing toward the PlayStation Portal, since the current model also uses a system based on Android, while the PS5 runs on Sony's own system. However, the OLED should not be taken as confirmed. Wi-Fi Alliance documentation does not reveal the type of display used or the rest of the specifications. What is known is that the devices support 2.4 and 5 GHz networks in a 1x1 configuration. That means 6 GHz is missing, so there isn't a significant jump in wireless connectivity capabilities. OLED appears in this story thanks to earlier information from KepleraL2. An insider said back in January that Sony is working on another version of the PlayStation Portal with an OLED screen, which would be expected 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 from the same family of model numbers.
The current Portal still uses an LCD
The first PlayStation Portal features an 8-inch LCD display with 1080p resolution and supports gameplay at up to 60 fps. Initially the device was primarily a terminal for Remote Play for the PS5, but Sony has significantly expanded its capabilities. Today, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can also stream selected games directly from the cloud, without needing to have their PS5 turned on. Switching to OLED would mainly mean better black levels, contrast, and image quality, but for now it’s unclear whether Sony would also change the resolution, refresh rate, processor, or battery.
