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

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!

Liked The item has no problem calling with Facebook Messenger. The music is nice too, with good bass. The bass of echo show 10 2nd gen is better. The size of the screen is good, when you are calling someone from the phone, portrait is good. The nice thing about this device is that the camera follows when you move. The microphone has a good reception. Bluetooth Headset When you connect your bluetooth headset it worked and the built in speaker and mic will be muted. Camera The camera is very clear and sharp. Augmented reality is also good. Disliked Alexa Calls This has been my question and no one has been covered about Alexa built in calling to another alexa device. It cannot make alexa calls. Apps No Youtube, Tiktok, Instagram app. It can be visited via web browsers. Ezviz Viewing ezviz camera is really slow.

Absolutely amazing video calling experiencing. My parents dont use Facebook much but with the product they can see most recent photos posted to Facebook automatically on the device. Think of all the electronic photo frames that go useless and boring since they show same stuff over and over, and imagine how much better it can be when it shows fresh photos instead. Hardware definitely is top notch and Im looking forward to see what software improvements come to the product.

I bought this product, because I would like to be near to my family. The product serves its purpose. In my opinion, it has good speakers, microphone and screen quality, but the apps are very limited and the interface could be better. I’ve been using over two months and no technical issues show up until now. Hope they try to improve this product software, because I believe that it has potential to be a great product.

Excellent, we love our Portal plus. The camera is sharp and the sound is great. I use it for meetings and calling family and friends. The packaging is excellent, it protected the portal so well and very sleek design. it came with no damage at all. I highly recommend this product

I liked it but my 4 year old son couldnt operate it by himself and I bought it for him so he could try to video chat with me so I would give it five stars but him not so much I think its more for adults they said there is Facebook games on there but it didnt really have that and theres no YouTube kids so he can watch anything on YouTube and I dont like that I think its a great product but I think it could use some updates or improvements

Portal is great! Amazing clear camera that follows you and pans out to include others as they enter the room. We can now celebrate with my parents who are 3000 miles away! It really is like they are in the same room! Sound quality on the Portal + is nice too, as are the Alexa features that are built in. Calls are encrypted and there is a camera cover as well as an on/off switch for the microphone. For the crazy conspiracy theorists out there that choose to return this simply because of the Facebook name....better return your Smart TV, turn off all your cell phone apps, return anything Ring, Alexa or Google related..... better yet, maybe you should consider living off the grid because the future is here!

I use this for correcting online college papers. Nice display, nice presentation. The base kinda cuts down on the move-it-around-the-desktop-ability, but thats OK.

easy to work with

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.
