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.

    Purchased this item not really reading all the specifics and didn’t realize both parties have to have fb messenger or the what’s up app. Wanted to return but then everything closed because of COVID and I just forgot all about it. Luckily I was just able to sell one but I still have the other( I got 2 :()

    Love the Portal - we bought one for ourselves and each of our 3 grown sons. We have lots of family Portal calls. Love the follow-me AI built into the camera that allows the camera to follow the callers. BTW, it also has quite a few built-in SmartTV streaming channels built in. One of our sons didn't have a SmartTV and now he does thanks to the Portal.

    The Facebook Portal is an awesome and fun tool for hosting video calls with family and friends. We’ve enjoyed exploring all the visual options and connectivity capabilities. I do believe the device would be made 100% better if the person on the other end has one as well, but it does connect well to Facebook Messenger and What’s App (without all the additional Portal features on the other end)
