Can you actually get rid of the artificial buttons and use dualshock?

Good question. I'll see if I can look that up in a bit.

When is this coming to Android?

Apparently this has been available for Sony Xperia phones since 2014, and only just now released for iPhone. I'm guessing Android is around the corner, but haven't heard anything specific yet.

Btw since I was on wi-fi I couldn't go very far before the connection affected the gameplay.
This does require a fast internet connection indeed. Not sure if this works with 4G. Probably not. Might need 5G for this to work.

5 MB down for VITA

10 MB up for PS4

 

This is what it is for the VITA, so I imagine phone is no different.  I was able to do it off of my wifi hotspot on 4G for my VITA end, but the performance was sketchy.  That clocked at about 5MB down when I did a speed test.

Touch screen controls. No thanks.

Pretty awesome. I'm an iPhone / Macbook user, so I'll have to give this a try later.

When you say "GB" are you referring to "Mbps"?

The screen is a little busy with all those touch controls but that's really cool.

But the artificial buttons vanish if you don't touch the screen for 2 seconds, so if you're able to play with a controller then the screen wouldn't be obstructed.

Cool, I will definitely use it when I upgrade my phone.

Yes, I will fix that.  XD

I tried this out now, and first of all, the touchscreen controls disappear if you don't touch the screen for about 2 seconds.
However when you start up the app it turns off the Dualshock. If you turn on the dual shock again, you'll see the login screen and it asks you to select a user profile.
If I chose the same one I'm logged into the game with, the app will disconnect from the game. If I chose a different user profile, the game continues. However, pressing buttons on the controller does not cause anything to happen in the game. Though if I hold the Home button on the controller, it brings up the Home quick menu, and then I can see myself using the controller to browse the menus on my phone, while also seeing Persona 5.

So it looks like they've deliberately disabled you from using the Dualshock to play for some reason, even though it clearly works. Not sure why or if there's an option to change to a controller.
I'll look into it later.

That's probably Apple saying our controllers only, damn.
