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

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.

Visually nice on the countertop. Sound is decent. Picture quality is good. Really can’t do too much with it other than use the apps loaded (or go to the web and pull up from there, sometimes). Mine is very glitchy with getting CBS News to come on. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t … just hangs on a blank, dark screen. Glad that when I did decide to give this a try, I bought it when it dropped to $99 briefly back in September. Definitely not worth more than $100, if that. I’d rather go with another Amazon Show 10 (or wait for the new Show that’s due out soon).

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and we love it. I can visit with my grandsons and see my new granddaughter in full screen rather than on the little camera on her phone. It is hard to explain all of the great things it can do because it is at my daughters house in Alaska, but my grandsons can call me anytime and we video chat to our hearts content even though we are many miles apart.

Good sound quality, great display effect for 15.6” display

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.

The portal was recommended by a friend. I have regular conversations with friends that are far away, and the portal makes it seem like you are together chatting in your living room- or cooking together for that matter. The camera on the screen moves with you! I would highly recommend this for those who are having regular video conferencing with family, friend or work. Its like being there. You must have a FaceBook messenger account, but those you call dont have to have the machine. I havent connected to Alexa so cant rate that feature.

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.

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.

This is such a great product. Useful as a communication tool to keep in touch with loved ones, but also for playing videos while cooking, great for games free music management. Highly recommend!

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.
