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

Overall the product works well for face time activities. Downloading apps is not possible it seems - which is a huge disappointment as they say you can do this. Otherwise seems to function fine.

Received first one as gift and sent one to grandson out of State! Best way to keep in contact with great grandchildren who live out of state! After using one with some grandchildren we were not strangers the first time they visited us in person! So we were not strangers to them! TO COOL!!

It’s amazing, but sucks that it has to stay plugged in! Would make such a difference if it was a little more portable. The zooming & tracking technology is an awesome addition to video chatting

I use this hands free in my kitchen while I’m cooking. I love the speaker on this Portal and this a very solid piece of equipment. Love the “zoom” feature and how it “pans” the room as you move about in the room. If I want to play my Pandora music the speaker is great!! If I want to engage Alexa it’s all there!

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.

Sometimes the voice recognition algorithm thinks it should turn on the device and a picture appears. It shuts off nicely when asked to however. The system works great with our family in Washington DC. They have one too, and we love the fact that the camera behaves well in all types of light and can follow and zoom to keep us in frame. Great product!

This product is excellent. We purchased it for an elderly family member at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, and it has helped her to feel included in family get togethers. The speaking features make it so she does not have to type on it, which is perfect for those with limited eye sight. It is very large, and the rotating feature makes it easy for people all of levels of technological knowledge. Excellent product

I bought this for my parents who are not tech savvy. The video and audio controls are right above the device handle, which makes them disable/enable audio and video inadvertently which is very annoying. The audio/video controls are tiny and won’t really give any tactile sense when operated, as mentioned by my parents

It’s ok

So we bought the smaller portable one for my MIL. And got this one for us since we have 4 bouncing kids. It has been a life saver being able to keep in touch. Being almost 7K miles away during this pandemic has made things difficult. But FB portal is easy enough that those less inclined about TECH van easil use it. No more forehead and chin shots anymore
