I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium phone with a third party holder DS4 phone holder and a 5gh ac Wifi (most important aspect for smooth streaming).
For the last 3 months, I have been enjoying Remote Play regularly in my bedroom, continuing my playthrough of games that I have been playing on my main console, from small indie games to the blockbuster games like Uncharted. It has changed my gaming lifestyle considerably. Streaming is utterly smooth due to having a 5ghz ac wifi router which I find essential. I had initially tried it out on the standard 2.4ghz speed but this bandwidth resulted in stutters. One thing to note is that 5ghz bandwidth has a shorter range than the 2.4ghz so closer to the router you are the better. Also, if your PS4 is not the later Slim version than you need to have it connected via CAT6 cable to the router's ethernet port (assuming your router is a 1gigabit router and not an old 10/100).
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium was an amazing phone for its astounding 805 ppi and 3 sub pixel matrix display which I utilise in mobile VR gaming and VR cinema theatre mode as it eliminates SDE (Screen door effect) that Rift and Vive suffers from. But to be also used as a proper portable PS4 streaming gaming device has made this phone, my second top gadget of the year for me, my number one being the PSVR...Sony rocks eh.
The DS4 phone clamp is of course pretty essential too. This ebay store sells a third party version for £8. I would have bought the official Playstation clamp but they dont seem to be available anymore but having said that, I think they were selling for £40 or something and this third party version has performed brilliantly for me. Clamps the phone with no slipping and has adjustable tilt. One annoyance though, is that when I use the controller for VR games that scans the controller's spatial positon, at certain angles, the phone holder part blocks the line of sight of controller light and the camera. So I have to unscrew the holder phone part. Another annoyance is I have to connect the controller to the PS4 via cable when I need to pair it up again after pairing up with the phone. I suppose I could buy another controller to eliminate those hassles.

So I am just wondering if there are many of you or only few of you also enjoying your Xperia phone in Remote Play?
For me, in a nutshell, Sony Remote Play absolutely rocks.
My desire for next iteration of Remote Play is to have faster display refresh rates. If only Sony can take notice that the Razor phone has achieved a 120Hz display. Combine that with their next Xperia phone 4k display and wow, that would be bliss. I also wish they had 4G compatibility as I have a 4g eat all you want package, and I think has potential for remote play streaming.
