Meta Portal - Smart Video Calling for the Home with 10” Touch Screen Display - White

Facebook’s Portal is weird, like really weird but in its own way it makes perfect sense and is perfect for communicating with Boomers or maybe those who aren’t into shopping around the App Store. :-) The call quality is fantastic. The machines ability to pan, scan and zoom makes it remarkable for its primary purpose. The addition of some Alexa features is welcomed but average at best. Privacy functionality is on point with physical buttons to turn off camera and microphone. Display is fantastic. Very user friendly and a great way to catch up with friends and family, especially if you’re with a group of people.

The Facebook Portal is an amazing device that allows you to make video calls with ease. The 10” touch screen display is bright and clear, and the built-in Alexa makes it easy to keep in touch with your loved ones. The Portal is also great for staying connected with friends and family who live far away. The sound quality is excellent, and the Portal makes it easy to share photos and videos with your loved ones. Overall, the Facebook Portal is an excellent device for staying connected with your loved ones and for making video calls.

Compramos 3 Facebook portal y fueron geniales por varios años pero pudimos el correo y contraseña ahora de repente se quedó callada y pide actualización para cualquier Apple que quieramos abrir yx no podemos hacerlo fx

Pros: simple to set up and audio/video quality is amazing. Camera motion is really smooth and reliable and overall a great device that is optimized for video chat. Nails the call grandparents scenario for my kids. Cons: has to be plugged in. There's no battery. This is annoying. It's 2020 put a battery in it. You'd think this is obvious but it makes the device super lame that it has to be plugged in. UX can be clunky at times. We all naturally have a lot of Facebook friends but I don't want my son to accidentally dial a friend I haven't talked to in 10 years. The angle of the stand is a little off. When on a table it seems to point the camera towards ceiling more than we would prefer. So you end up being in the bottom half of the frame not the whole thing.

Got it for my parents in another country. All they need it wifi and their whattsapp so simple! Love it when I call them they aren't always sitting and talking. So the camera moving to their faces is such a cool feature and convenient. You can also play music and watch things on it. Love how you can also read a book to them. OH you can also have many family members talk together too! I got all my parents and their children to talk together regardless of where they are at!

For all the elderly or just people who don't want to learn facebook, you just have to sign into a new account once and leave a message she can only be reached by messenger. No Facebook Hassel! It has been a godsend since Covid19. Especially because my moms on oxygen. This is a fantastic product it came just in time to be able to visit with my mother after a year during covid. I got this for her for Christmas and boy was it a hit! Until yesterday the camera completely stopped working. I'll give this a 100 and do a commercial for free that's how wonderful it was. Please contact me on what to do? I really thought this was incredible until it stopped working. Updated: Received great customer service! It in fact was NOT the portal but another device that needed adjusting and they walked me through that

UPDATE 2: Most of what little functionality remains will be removed come April 4, 2025. So far, this is what we know will be leaving Portal soon: Spotify Plex Tidal Music Deezer CBS News Photo Booth Background Effects and Masks on Messenger video calls Please consider signing the Change.org petition requesting that Meta open up the Portal platform for further development by the community. If just half of the people who have viewed this post of the years contributed their voice to that effort, it'd have over 25,000 signatures and be deserving of wider media attention – and Meta's. UPDATE: As of February 1, 2025 Meta has further removed the following functionality: Zoom Amazon Alexa (all app and voice functionality) "Hey Portal" voice assistant (all voice functionality) Meta Portal App (iOS and Android) And other services which have disappeared in recent months without prior announcement, including: Red Bull TV ESPN Most of the stories within Story Time (8 remain) Original post: In case you haven't heard, Meta has gutted the full line of Portal devices and a majority of 1st-party and 3rd-party apps and services are now officially discontinued and will be pulled from our devices.

I love the video calling. My daughter and other family members have a 2 year old Portal and she said my new one had a much sharper video. It is in a more slimline photo frame that can be set on the table vertically or horizontally that. The old one. There are lots of new features. Your facebook photos can be downloaded as can photos from your phone. You can make those private. I can touch the screen to move through my favourite photos. It comes loaded with some apps like Spotify, contacts, photos, a browser, Pandora, Storytime, And of course 2 facebook links. I added CBS news. The speaker in the back is great for videos and music. Its comparable to my ihome! The screen is the same size as my larger kindle fire and just as clear. It has easily accessible on screen instruction guide. I am recommending it to family and friends.

Tive que devolver porque a propaganda do produto não estava coerente com o produto. Na propaganda não consta que o produto não faz mais chamadas desde 2014. A Amazon reembolsou.

This is a beautiful unit.. however very little apps are supported. Didn't integrate with Google.. does integrate with Alexa which was fine.. but it was just voice integrated. Returned it.

The product does not have Chinese language settings. The ring sound is too soft for the elderly or even myself to hear it, I have checked and this is a persistent problem for all users. The product is easy for picking up calls. For calling out, it is not as intuitive for the elderly. Product could have been better if it can run independently with SIM card and without the original phone being connected to the internet consistently. I would have considered Google Nest instead knowing these problems.

Buen producto calidad precio, además de buena calidad de video al momento de realizar videollamadas. Ideal para trabajo a distancia

It is a good product with large display . Liked it . Sound quality is very good .
