The Backbone One PlayStation for Android is a Sony-licensed product that is the only bumper controller for mobile devices to be recognized as an official Sony [DualSense](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backbone-one-2nd-gen) controller when plugged into the device. This means users can play PS Remote Play from anywhere on their Android phone, provided they have a stable internet connection.
