Description of 📹 Facebook Portal Gen 1: Enhanced Smart Video Calling with Built-in Alexa - Hands-Free Experience

Move and talk freely with Smart Camera: With Smart Camera, you don’t have to worry about being out of frame. Whether you’re moving around the kitchen, prepping dinner or chasing the kids through the living room, Smart Camera adjusts to follow the action. And as more people enter a room, Smart Camera automatically widens to keep everyone in view, so you don’t miss a moment. Private by design: Facebook doesn't listen to, view or keep the contents of your Portal video calls. Calls on Portal are encrypted, so conversations stay between you and those you're calling. You can also completely disable the camera and microphone with a single tap, or block the camera lens with the camera cover provided. Connect with friends, even if they don't have Portal: Easily call friends and family on Messenger — calls can be made seamlessly to and from smartphones and tablets. And you can bring up to six other people into a group call. Alexa built-in: Portal has Alexa built-in, so you can ask a question, set a timer, add items to your shopping list, control your smart home or more. Just ask. Experience more together: With Portal, story time will never be the same. With music, animation and augmented reality effects, Portal lets you become some of your children’s favorite characters as you read along to well-loved stories. And if friends or family also have Portal, you can listen to your favorite music together as if you were in the same room, without delays or feedback. Stay close with Superframe: When you’re not in a call, Portal can display your Facebook photos and videos. You can also see when your closest contacts are available to connect, and get birthday reminders. Active Facebook account required for product use. Wireless-Wi‐Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac), Dual band MIMO (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth 4.2 technology.

Great image resolution, easy to use

This is an amazing product. I bought one for myself, my husband works out of state, he got one, and my daughter and son in law live out of state and they have one too! All three of us can get a call each, the picture is so clear, so much better than FaceTime. Doesn't freeze or shut down, and this 62-year-old woman was able to figure out how to set it up and use it. I'm by no means an IT leaner, but this was easy and coming from someone like me, which says a lot about how user-friendly it is…

Pros
  • Stay close to Superframe: When you're not on the phone, Portal can display your Facebook photos and videos. You can also see when your closest contacts are available to connect and get birthday reminders.
Cons
  • Negative impression

my mother-in-law who is in her 80s We beat wall after wall until the Facebook Portal appeared. She was finally open to it when she saw the ease of use! She already knew Facebook Messenger, so she couldn't learn anything new! The camera cover is also a great security addition and gives the user a sense of peace. We also got one for my parents (early 70's) and they installed it themselves and filled in with no problems! It really says something when our senior community feels comfortable using a…

A must for parents who travel a lot for work!

For parents who travel a lot for work, this is a must! No more chasing a kid just to keep them in frame to say hello to mom/dad/grandparents, or constantly switching cameras (this feature in Facetime has gotten clumsier with a new update) to find the right person/the right one to capture the object in the picture right place. right angle. We tried stories yesterday and seeing the big smile on my daughter's face melted my heart. Dad read the story in real time with animation, visual and sound…

Pros
  • Chat with friends even if they don't have a portal: just call friends and family in Messenger - calls can be made easily to and from smartphones and tablets. And you can group up to six people together in a group call
Cons
  • Speed
