Facebook - Portal Plus Smart Video Calling 15.6" Display With Alexa - Black (Android), 899-00048-02

Excellent quality product, highly recommended product for video calling

Don’t buy now Facebook stopped this devise.

Saw it on many youtube channels that the Portal can use MS Teams for video conf. Thought this would be a great idea instead of using my computer. Signed up with the Meta workplace and then purcahsed the Portal online. As soon as I plugged it in there was an update and now the MS Teams is no longer in the APP store. The meta website kept saying search for it but there is no search option. You can not use the web version as the browser does not support and since you cant download 3rd party apps its now useless and only works with Facebook or Zoom which we do not use at work only MS Teams. Other than that its just now a higher prices Amazon Echo show with a larger screen that doesnt tilt only rotate.

I love the picture size and quality. It’s very easy to set up. As with many, I can’t have all of my family together again this Christmas so I bought Portal Plus for my brother who lives 1500 miles away and for me. It’s great how the camera pans in and out as people enter the room or move about. It’s the next best thing to hanging out in the kitchen together and gives a natural feel to chatting while allowing one to move around. It does have other uses and apps (Spotify, Amazon, etc) but for me right now, the feeling far-away-family is right there in the room is the reason I ordered it and it was definitely the best purchase I’ve made this Christmas.

Absurdo que no puedas descargar en México estas apps; Netflix, primevideo, Disney plus, etc. Cómo si uno adquiriera estos dispositivos solo para ver facebook. Pésimo. No puedes hacer capturas de pantalla… no puedes editar documentos en el navegador. Esta muy limitado.

I bought this for my grandfather just as coronavirus started to become a real concern. I wanted him to be able to video chat with the family when we weren't able to visit him. Unfortunately, his retirement community went on lockdown before I could deliver it. So until I can get it to him, we are using it in our home. I have a 5year old and a 16 month old. Video chatting with them via phone is hard for the people on the other end of the screen. They are ALL OVER THE PLACE and hard to follow. The portal has a nice wide field of vision that keeps them in frame most of the time However the BEST feature is the automatic face detection and camera tracking. It follows the girls all over our living room, keeping them in frame so their grandparents can always see them. It isn't 100% perfect, but it is a huge improvement over not having ng this feature and just trying to follow them with the phone. Surprised - I thought this was a pointless product, but now that I have one, it is the only way I want to video call Fwiw, the Alexa and FB assistant I tegratio s are nice, and the speakers are quite good quality (and powerful). We listen to Pandora, Amazon music, and lots more on here daily. I will probably buy one of these to replace it once I give this one to my grandfather. There are really great for connecting with family.

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 don't 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 doesn't save the recipe like the other Alexa apps and it doesn't 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 you're chatting... i love it. My advice to you if you dont use the messenger and whats up apps regularly it wouldn't be useful to you. Hope this review helps your decision.

Funciona bien, pero se nota fue usado, venía abierto, no faltaba algo, pero estaba sucio, y con una cuenta ya en funcionamiento.
