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

So i use Facebook messenger and whats up app a lot(daily) so this is an amazing devise for me. It is so cool, it moves when you move (moderate speed, so dont run) and it zooms in and out (for example if you were in a room talking and someone else comes in it zooms out to catch that person and vise versa when that person leaves it zooms back in on you). Also if there is a sound in the background it concentrates on your voice so the person on the other line does not get distracted. Also on messenger you can tell stories (kids stories). Now for Alexa app, its good but not perfect let me explain more so it does pull up recipes and turns on and off the lights but it doesnt save the recipe like the other Alexa apps and it doesnt show you the feed to your cameras but other than that its great and very useful to not have you holding your phone all the time and can multi task while youre chatting... i love it. My advice to you if you dont use the messenger and whats up apps regularly it wouldnt be useful to you. Hope this review helps your decision.

easy to work with

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.

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.

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

Does require reasonable upload speed in order for picture quality to be good (say 5MB+ or so). If you or the other user has DSL, picture quality will be bad.

Arrived very fast, this product can support great video calling experience

Was not what was advertised. It was supposed to be new and it came in a plastic bag with no power cord or anything else.

This product was easy to program. If I got stuck on an item, customer service was very helpful to resolve

I train people to use software and equipment. The portal has really made my job so much easier. The connection is much more reliable than other products and software I have used. The sound quality is great, the video quality is great, the ability to redirect the camera and zoom using gestures is really nice.
