    Works really well for chatting with parents and friends that are far away (esp. during a pandemic it turns out). Auto tracking works well, audio is good during video chats. Using it for listening to music is adequate. Definitely wouldnt consider sound quality for music amazing but is pretty good.

    My son got one to be able to talk to his dad and stepmother who live states away. Surprisingly bigger than expected and quite pleased with the quality and clarity. Only reason I did 4 stars was because it doesnt allow photos, it said personal photos are not supported on this device

    Love that it has a big screen. Best part of all its features is that as I walk around the room camera follows me. I plan to buy a second one for kitchen later.

    I purchased this portal about a year ago to go live to facebook, I used it a few times and it was great. Recently, I went to do a live from it and they have removed the feature. If youre strictly using this for video chats, it is great. That was not what I purchased it for so now I have a facebook portal that does not work for what I purchased it for. Shame on the maker for removing apps that people specifically purchased this device for.

    Being a technophile I think this is better quality than anything Amazon has put out. I purchased 2 portal pluss and while I wish I could call people also on Echo or Skype, the hardware is far better than Echo show (which I also own). Im not a huge fan of Facebook but the tech is sound and of great quality ( once again comparing to echo show) this is so far a better product than anything currently available and I hope that Google and Amazon take notice. The ability to transfer my call immediately to my phone is on awesome when I leave the room. Its quick and instantaneous and I dont have to think about it. If you dislike Facebook, I can empathize but great tech is great tech and this piece of hardware is fantastic albeit in this day and age I also dont like being locked in to a single communication system but I dont necessarily think thats Facebook fault. I want my hardware independent from any corp and let it speak on its own merit. We dont live in the 20th century after all.

    This is the best purchase I could have made for myself. I talk with my family all of the time and I love it

    Moved to another city and being separate from my girlfriend recently. This device just makes it much easier for us to stay connected and feel being together with the high-quality camera and sound. The camera can be covered up when I am not using it. So I dont concern much about the privacy issue. It would be a great present for your remote friends, family, and lover.

    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.

    This has been hands down the best purchase in 2020. My grandmother (96) fell and was moved into a nursing home. Due to Covid restrictions we were not able to visit. Calling her on the phone was difficult, she could not hear us well and was confused easily. I ordered the portal + to stay connected. It was the most amazing feeling to actually see her and talk to her! We had a long conversation and I could literally see her face light up. We have FaceTimed everyday since! She has been able to talk to both of her sons and each grandchild and great grandkids. The touch screen set up made it so easy for her to call me and for her to use. The nurse told me that she used it so often she was “going to wear it out”. I am forever grateful for the portal +. It has been a blessing.
