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

This Facebook Portal Plus system was introduced to my wife by my eldest son. Soon after this we bought the system and have been using this almost daily. We have 3 grandkids and they all love to call us for us to tell them stories almost every day. Later my daughter had her own portal so now our grandkids and we alternately tell stories almost every day. This has excellent Alexa and Portal voice commands features. We read our emails and surf the internet using voice commands. The screen is big enough for watching movies on demand.

Love the size for video calls. Easy to see everyone in the room. Video calls are nice quality. Love it for talking to kids that are far away. Hate that can’t rename Alexa on this device ( grandsons name is Alex - makes it difficult to say his name, also it picks up to many cues from the tv ). Difficult to adjust volume for Alexa. Either too loud or too quiet. Strange as it is fine for video calls. Sometimes it overhears something and makes calls out of the blue. I keep the microphone and camera off and covered unless using. For video calls I would give it five stars. Love it for that.

At the time, it was a good low price. Unit does have some bugs in it. Need to reboot at times. It does alot of stuff more than when it first came out which is good! I think further upgrades are no longer since this 1st generation is now discontinued. Good picture quality and size. I like the option for portrait and landscape viewing.

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!

Great when it is connected . Clear picture, nice sound. Sorry its going out of business. I brought my great grand babies one. Cost me a pretty penny. Now cant use. Cant see and talk to my greatgrand babies.

Bought this large portal for my dad and the smaller size for us and each one of our adult children. We absolutely love them! It is almost like being in the same room and we can all be on the call if we choose. It is very easy to set up and use. You can easily add additional people to the call.

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!

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.

Really impressive. Easy to use for my 75 year old parents, excellent quality, and the AI in the camera allows them all to be in the room and get on screen! Love it

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