Can't understand why it's so unknown. Most people have no idea what you are talking about. I bought several for my relatives, and they were enthralled. It's cheaper than an electronic picture frame - but has so many more functions - including showing your pictures.
Just another perfect device from Facebook!
The Portal opened up a new world for them.
I will be purchasing for home use as well!

this is useful for tech savvy people.
company need to incorporate easy one touch button navigation for messenger or whats app call , esp for elderly people its very difficult to go through menus and sub menus and then activate the calling feature. inbuilt alexa doesnt work in indian setup atleast as on today, thats what i observed.
over all product concept is good, but gaining momentum in India market is a challenge, unless improvement is made keeping the elderly non tech savvy ppl in view. best is mimic the phone functionality in this hardware for video calls via messenger and whats app. Pros: 1.excellent video clarity, 2.the camera follows the active person speaker 3. build quality is excellent. cons:1. lots of menus and submenus navigation 2. inbuilt alexa doesnt work in india 3.the adaptor says 12v and 20A = 240W, isnt laptop is better in power consumption ? around 65watts/hr?
