About this item
- 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

Certainly being a a Facebook device comes with a certain amount of potential privacy baggage but to that I'd suggest that's at least partly a matter of personal responsibility. If you don't want people to know things about you, don't put it on Facebook.
And to those who give the device low ratings because "It's only a video chat device", how can you blame the device or the manufacturer for that? That's all the Facebook claimed it to be. If you were expecting more, that's on you. It's like giving your car a low rating because "it only lets me drive on the road, I can't fly with it!!!". It would be entirely different if the vendor made claims that weren't true.
The device is super easy to set up, the audio and video quality are fantastic. The fact that the camera automatically moves around to follow you is also very cool.
And if you're afraid the thing is spying on your when you're not using it, turn it off!
I keep my sound and camera turned off at all times because I don't see the need to keep it on, but it would not be such a huge problem since all of our information is already completely in the open, so this would not make it worse.
I highly recommend it if you have elderly family that you'd like to talk and see in a regular basis.
Used to video chat once or twice a week via phone to stay in touch and see the 1 1/2yr old grandson. Needless to say the phone version sucks because half the time you're looking at the ceiling or the floor.
Now we video chat 5-6 times a week every night at bath time. We have ours set up on the coffee table and they set theirs up across the bathroom on the counter. So now every night its "let's go take your bath and call grandma ". We like that it auto focuses on whoever is in the room. It stays focused on the grandson as he plays in the tub but automatically zooms out to add the daughter in law in the video also if she starts talking or steps further into the room.
Also not to bulky to take along if we go out to visit other family close by or if we go overnight someplace. Just plug it in and connect to the wifi and wait for the call. Now we're a part of his every day life even though they're 1400 miles away.
I personally not one for all this new tech crap, but being able to see and talk to the grandbaby and family every day is well worth the investment. Plus it's easy enough I can operate it without any help.
My husband and I even took the portal with us when we went to Jamaica a few months ago. We talked to the kids that way each day and that definitely helped me. I felt closer to them, so I missed them less than if I couldn't see them. My youngest would be tired of talking to us, so she'd be in the background playing - so I was comforted in knowing she's totally fine and not missing us!
