This is a great machine, I can’t believe how fun it makes for filming, the backgrounds are great and the smart camera is a lot of fun to play with. The VR background on the bike and I the Tripp forest are enlightening. There is a bright future for anyone who gets one of these boxes. Storytime is a great form of storytelling.

Warning: this is a sad review, but I feel it expresses how important this purchase was for me and my family. My grandfather unexpectedly went into hospice and passed away while my region was locked down due to Covid19 at age 87. When he came home from the hospital, my wife and I were able to get he and my grandmother set up with this 10" Portal from Facebook. He had 5 daughters, 19 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren, many of whom were only able to see him a final time over this blessing of a device. My grandmother was able to work it with zero technical ability and the image and audio were clear and never gave her any issues. This product gave my family something you normally can't buy... time with your loved ones before they pass. I personally was able to spend time with him the day before he passed over this device with my family. I will be forever grateful.

Bought black and white. Love the camera that follows you around. What's up video calling is just perfect.

I bought this because I was going off to college and wanted to have a way to talk to my family and see them at the same time, but also to keep an eye on my pet bird that I had to leave behind. I kept the device on for most of the day, so it felt like I was still at home. I could hear my family in the background and it was just overall a great buy. I think it's really great and I had no issues. I do wish it wouldn't track focus and stay locked on the whole picture, but oh well. Just fyi, the image shows my perspective of what the portal showed me, while on my laptop using facebook messenger video.

I only got this device because it was on sale. I picked up two of them, but honestly, it wasn't worth setting up the second one. I will say that the camera tracking ability is impressive and so is the microphone. But I don't find myself doing video calls often enough to say this was a worthy purchase. It only works for Whatsapp or Teams calls though. It also has a physical privacy shutter that you can enable which is A+ design in my opinion. The spotify integration is very limited, I wish I could use the touch screen like an app to select my playlist instead of doing everything by voice. You can also only upload photos to facebook and use those albums. No way to just add it to the device storage itself. I was hoping that these devices would have been jailbroken by now, but they're still locked down. The speaker is decent for playing music and calls and the large gorgeous screen design does make it seem perfect like a picture frame. But again, limited application support has me not using this very often to justify recommending to others, especially since they're all being discontinued.

The portal is excellent it allows you to visit family and friends and bring them close close, you can cooked with your love ones from across state you can visit your grandchildren’s it has a cool section where you can tell your grand children stories and actually become the characters in the story plays music it will follow you around the room the portal has a built-in Video Eye Also acts like Alexa you can ask him recipes time a day whether you can train her to do all kinds of things

Love the camera that follows you. What's up video colling is the best. Alexa on board and it works very well.
