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

Liked The item has no problem calling with Facebook Messenger. The music is nice too, with good bass. The bass of echo show 10 2nd gen is better. The size of the screen is good, when you are calling someone from the phone, portrait is good. The nice thing about this device is that the camera follows when you move. The microphone has a good reception. Bluetooth Headset When you connect your bluetooth headset it worked and the built in speaker and mic will be muted. Camera The camera is very clear and sharp. Augmented reality is also good. Disliked Alexa Calls This has been my question and no one has been covered about Alexa built in calling to another alexa device. It cannot make alexa calls. Apps No Youtube, Tiktok, Instagram app. It can be visited via web browsers. Ezviz Viewing ezviz camera is really slow.

My grandbabies moved out of state and I got 2 of these to keep the connection. We call each other all the time and its so easy to play games. We even get Alexa in on the fun, my grandkids will tell Alexa to play a song and we all just dance all around the house and just like its suppose to the Portal follows us. Sometimes we have to be sneaky when were trying to play hide and seek so Portal doesnt follow us and give up or location before the other peeson is done counting. If you need to stay connected this is an amazing option.

Ive been with my momma for a number of months helping her to transition to a retirement community & working through some medical challenges. Ive been in the habit of tucking her in each night. Now its time for me to go home. I purchased this so that we can connect each night at bedtime. I especially love how it is voice controlled. All she has to do is tell it to call me. I got the biggest size so that its more life size... This will bring us both a lot of comfort, connectedness. Night times can be a challenge for her, this will help so much cuz Im just a video call away!

This is our 3rd portal we love it so much. We gifted our other 2 to our niece and nephew who visited on different occasions. Like my son, they were obsessed with it dont have Amazon where theyre from. Were able to keep in touch with our family via messenger and Whatsapp while all being logged into our separate accounts. The photos of our choices are displayed on the screen when its not being used. Im also able to join zoom for our club meetings and change my background. My son and I call his cousins and read stories to them. There are so many to choose from. We also have lots of silly filters and cool backgrounds to use while on the videos calls. The camera follows you wherever you go, and you can change that if you want to. The audio gets so loud. And the portal is very solid!! Highly recommend it.

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.

Great product, video calling my friends is fun, specially when my mom and my sister live far away

Its nice to see family without holding your phone! You can see grandchildren running around and your kids reacting naturally to them.

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).

My son got one to be able to talk to his dad and stepmother who live states away. Surprisingly bigger than expected and quite pleased with the quality and clarity. Only reason I did 4 stars was because it doesnt allow photos, it said personal photos are not supported on this device

I have to say I think this product its something that can make a big difference on the way how we used to meet and speak with people, its make you fill comfortable not only to hear the words that the other people say, it also give you an ability to fill like you are in the present of the other person you speaking to. This is true all the time especially during the time of covid, when I personally cant meet some of ny friends, so this is something that gives me the ability to connect with my good friends. Its also a highly recommended for old people, its a very nice gift for parents, so you can speak to them easily.
