Customers are saying

Customers commend the Portal TV for its excellent video calling, ease of use, and impressive screen size, frequently praising the picture quality and straightforward setup. However, some users experienced challenges with the remote control pairing and compatibility with certain devices and sound systems. A few also noted that the device did not include an HDMI cable and that the software could be improved for a smoother user experience.

    Absolutely love this, I bought the first one, for my Daughter so that when I video chat with my Grandson, he won't run off with the phone or having to spend half the time trying to get him to sit still so I can see him. With the Portal it does not matter how much he jumps or plays while we talk I can see him and we are interacting more because he can talk and play at the same time. This is my second one and it is for me so I can sit in my recliner and not get tired holding my phone LOL
