Sony PlayStation Portal handheld teardown reveals a Qualcomm SG4150P chip and 16,6 Wh battery

It’s really not designed to be user repairable.
The main processor is a Qualcomm SG4150P chip.
It has Samsung LPDDR4x memory.
The PlayStation Portal has a 16.6 Wh battery.
There’s not much information on the internet about the SG4150P processor, and while there’s been some speculation that it’s a Snapdragon 662 chip from 2019, the model number shows up in security bulletins starting in early 2023. I can’t find any mention of it before then, suggesting it’s a newer processor… possibly one of Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon G1 or G2 series processors designed for handheld gaming devices.
I’ve also seen some reports indicating that the Portal features Qualcomm Adreno 610 graphics.
All of which is to say, that this is most likely a budget chip that doesn’t pack a lot of horsepower, because it doesn’t really need much. Since the Portal is designed to stream games from a PlayStation 5 using Sony’s Remote Play service, it’s actually the PS5 that does all the heavy lifting. All the Portal needs are chips that are sufficient to handle the data connection, controller input, and audio and video output
Early reports had indicated that the Portal’s operating system is Android-based, and now that it’s shipping, there seems to be some evidence that Android platform tools like fastboot work with the device. That could provide a pathway for hackers to find ways to load third-party apps or games, root the device, or even install custom ROMs. But it’s unclear how well the SG4150P processor will be able to handle anything other than the default Sony software.
Turns out Sony had been working on the Portal since 2017 and it was at one point made from the Dualshock 4.

As spotted by NeoGAF user ponpo, the patent was filed back in 2015 but was only just recently published. While the controller pieces on the side look as though they may be detachable, they aren't explicitly shown as being removable from the device.
Sony Files Patent for What Looks Like a Switch-esque Handheld - IGN
A recently published patent suggests Sony is looking into a new handheld.

I’m sure this will be just as popular as remote play is in general.
Is this on a private jet? I feel like this may be like a fly emirates or jal or their affordable sub brand zipair, which is really nice btw, they got free wifi too
