Facebook Portal Plus - Smart Video Calling 15.6” Touch Screen Display with Alexa - Black

This is our 3rd portal we love it so much. We gifted our other 2 to our niece and nephew who visited on different occasions. Like my son, they were obsessed with it dont have Amazon where theyre from. Were able to keep in touch with our family via messenger and Whatsapp while all being logged into our separate accounts. The photos of our choices are displayed on the screen when its not being used. Im also able to join zoom for our club meetings and change my background. My son and I call his cousins and read stories to them. There are so many to choose from. We also have lots of silly filters and cool backgrounds to use while on the videos calls. The camera follows you wherever you go, and you can change that if you want to. The audio gets so loud. And the portal is very solid!! Highly recommend it.

This product is excellent. We purchased it for an elderly family member at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, and it has helped her to feel included in family get togethers. The speaking features make it so she does not have to type on it, which is perfect for those with limited eye sight. It is very large, and the rotating feature makes it easy for people all of levels of technological knowledge. Excellent product

Sometimes the voice recognition algorithm thinks it should turn on the device and a picture appears. It shuts off nicely when asked to however. The system works great with our family in Washington DC. They have one too, and we love the fact that the camera behaves well in all types of light and can follow and zoom to keep us in frame. Great product!

It’s amazing, but sucks that it has to stay plugged in! Would make such a difference if it was a little more portable. The zooming & tracking technology is an awesome addition to video chatting

Good sound quality, great display effect for 15.6” display

At the time, it was a good low price. Unit does have some bugs in it. Need to reboot at times. It does alot of stuff more than when it first came out which is good! I think further upgrades are no longer since this 1st generation is now discontinued. Good picture quality and size. I like the option for portrait and landscape viewing.

I had HIGH Hopes for this unit.. but to be honest, it just let me down really. The applications are limited, you cant even open Facebook on the app without using a Web Browser? Not really sure why that is the case... the applications you can download are VERY limited. However, if you are using this just as a communication platform with friends and family, its pretty good! The camera feature that follows and focuses in on you cant seem to be adjusted though unless you are in a certain mode. Its very annoying when you are speaking to someone and the camera sees your dog and then zooms in on the dogs or whatever. However, I do like the speakers and the Alexa integration, but seriously.. Facebook needs to put some Steve Jobs into this as it needs some TLC people! As I said, I had such high hopes for this and its a great start.... but just needs some extra something, especially for the cost. Just my 2 cents. It is a nice option for alexa and calling if you want it on your kitchen counter.. but to be a show stopper, it needs some work .. especially in the application aspect(s). Reminds me of the first Amazon Kindle.. good start but sure needed help... lets just hope this unit gets the help it deserves and the potential it can reach!

This product was easy to program. If I got stuck on an item, customer service was very helpful to resolve

There was no dislike, I love everything about Portal, because it does numerous OF things

I train people to use software and equipment. The portal has really made my job so much easier. The connection is much more reliable than other products and software I have used. The sound quality is great, the video quality is great, the ability to redirect the camera and zoom using gestures is really nice.
