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

I have to say I think this product its something that can make a big difference on the way how we used to meet and speak with people, its make you fill comfortable not only to hear the words that the other people say, it also give you an ability to fill like you are in the present of the other person you speaking to. This is true all the time especially during the time of covid, when I personally cant meet some of ny friends, so this is something that gives me the ability to connect with my good friends. Its also a highly recommended for old people, its a very nice gift for parents, so you can speak to them easily.

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

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!

When I spoke with people at the store it was my understanding that I would be able to hook and connect up with my existing Amazon speakers throughout the house. So far that doesn’t seem to work otherwise it’s a great product.

I have Echo, Google, and Portal Smart displays, several of each, and, for photos, the Portals are the best. The other features are ok on the Portal but not as refined as Echo or Google. I was quite surprised with the sound quality of the Portals. Very happy with the Portal Plus.

It is good for video call. have very good feature of focus as we move. Screen quality is also good. alexa works fine but other integration like youtube etc is not as expected. i mainly use it as photo display and video call. both works fine.

This thing is amazing. Its perfect for us in a kitchen, where you would move around while talking. The camera follows you and focuses on you, wherever you are. While its not otherwise engaged, it displays your Facebook photo album. It also supports multiple Facebook accounts (but not multiple alexa accounts), so it can mix pictures from your partners account in the slideshow. The mic is excellent. Alexa can hear me from clear in the other room, just like a person would. I can say alexa, play cbs news, and the live stream comes right up. Its big enough that I use it as a mini television to watch the news while cooking. LOVE IT!

I got this primarily for video calling family members due to its easy to use interface and smart camera feature. It did its primary job very well. In addition to video calling, we also use it to watch cooking videos in the kitchen and listening to music while cooking and washing dishes. The 15.6 screen is good quality. Overall, happy with my purchase.

Facebook engineers did an awesome job with the development and functionality of the Facebook Portal+. The Portal+ is a great option for anyone in the business environment trying to collaborate with a distributed team or just trying to communicate with family and friends through WhatsApp. You will love the Smart Camera! The Portal+ comes in handy specially during the Coronavirus pandemic. Everyone should get one of these units.

My In-laws live overseas and they are of old age. Bought two and, after setting it up, sent it to them. Just at the push of button, we can do a video call with amazing sound and video quality. Highly recommend.
