Facebook Portal Mini - Smart Video Calling 8” Touch Screen Display with Alexa - White

Better than I expected!

This item is wonderful and so needed. No one is allowed into nursing homes being locked down My sister is in a nursing home and with the virus going around, communication is hard to come by. No fault of the home, they are overwhelmed with changing rules and demands of running the place as well as they do. Simple to set up and operate. She just pushes my picture and then video and boom we see and talk to each other. Wifi is of course needed and an outlet. The home made sure it was connected. We are both ecstatic over this little miracle device. Works excellent and life is good. It also has pictures from Facebook to see when not being used as a calling device. Perfect, easy to use and happy people.

I keep this in my kitchen, great for music, Youtube videos, Whats ap chats and so much more. I bought one for my Mom for Christmas and my husband bought one for me. Great gifts!! We love them!

I bought this thinking it would make my home lifestyle more fun, although every time when I would try to use the touch screen it would lag and there would be like a 20 second delay after using the touch screen. The voice control doesnt really function well as I would have to call it multiple times for it to hear me. It does not have the same functions as a typical Alexa device because I cant connect any smart devices to it (such as my smart lightbulb) and it cant answer random curious or fun questions like any other regular alexa device would...so whats the point of it having an Alexa! Theres really no common/useful apps you can use this device (except for spotify) so theres no other use for it other than video chatting. Although this device provides access to a web browser you would have to navigate to any website, such as Youtube, as if your on an iPad, however....ITS SUPER SLOW and glitchy. So I NEVER find myself using the web browser as its just ends up not worth my time to try to use. Also need to note that it has a hard time switching the screen between a vertical or horizontal position as it glitches or sometimes not even responds. Ill give it 1 extra star than this device deserves ONLY because the video quality is pretty good and the cool feature where the camera follows you around in the room. But besides that, if you want to use this thing for ANY other recreational use such as putting on YouTube to watch a cooking tutorial while cooking in the kitchen or ask it typical/simple questions that my echo dot device could answer...then this is NOT the device for you.

Great product and easy to use

Mal audio, buena cámara y Alexa funciona muy mal! Es un buen sistema para comunicarse con la familia y excelente marco de fotos digital

Great way to stay connected to love ones. After the initial setup, it’s quite user friendly.

That the picture quality is clear and I love it for seeing and talking to our grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Works great and keeps me in contact with my family where we are not tied to one spot on our phone/iPad and can walk around and move as the camera follows

Family loves it,speaker is loud and plays Pandora. The photo gallery is great too
