  • Bought this for my Wife
Style: Portable
So far this is a neat little device. Not hard to set up and it is battery operated so it has the portability my wife likes. Very good sound. Haven't tried all the features yet though. I would recommend. One downside to his order. We ordered and paid for this portal from Amazon, now the seller is Mayhey whom we had no contacts with. Yet Meta, the manufacturer of these portals attempted to charge the account used to pay Amazon. The troubling part is we had no contact with Meta nor do we have an account with Meta prior to this incident. We contacted Meta to find out what the charge was for. But because we did not have an account, we were told they couldn't help us and to contact Amazon. Amazon couldn't help because they buy from Mayhey. Therefore, Amazon had to have supplied the account info to Mayhey who intern supplied this information to Meta. I see no reason for Meta to have our account information so who supplied them with the information? ... show more

  • Portal TV let's us talk to grandma! But lack of HDMI auto-switching is a major drawback
Style: TV
(This review is for "Portal TV" since there are reviews for multiple types of Portals mixed together here) The main reason I got Portal TV was that it connects to grandma's huge flat screen TV. We're talking heads which are 3-4 feet tall on her screen when we video chat with her. And it's in her living room where she normally sits. This permits her to see her family. Priceless. But it's really hard to set this device up for her so she can easily use it. Grandma has terrible vision and is really really bad with gadgets, especially remote controls. Asking grandma switch video inputs on her TV remote as opposed to her normally used satellite TV remote is beyond ridiculous. The Portal TV remote is so small I don't think she can even see it. Besides, the buttons on it a camouflaged by being the same color as the case. Even I couldn't see the buttons. Also, another small remote is guaranteed to be lost within a day or two. So using the Portal TV remote is not an option. Her TV wasn't new enough to auto-switch to the Portal TV HDMI feed when answering a call (ie. when Portal answers a Facebook video call). And even if it was, the TV wouldn't auto-switch back which would effectively disable her TV watching. That's her main entertainment in life right now. Cutting it off is beyond unacceptable. So instead I bought an HDMI auto-switch (HDMI Switch SGEYR 5x1 HDMI Switcher 5 in 1). But the Portal TV device doesn't turn off it's HDMI output after it hangs up on a Facebook video call, so the HDMI switcher won't auto-switch back to her TV channels. I ended up setting up a powerstrip on the table near where she sits. The Portal TV device gets it's power from the powerstrip. Before we want to do a Facebook Portal video call with her, we call her on the phone and tell her to turn on the powerstrip (it's big enough that she can see it). We wait two minutes for the Portal TV device to powerup, then we call her on Facebook video (note, you have to use "Messages" in Facebook.com. The Facebook Messenger app on Windows doesn't seem to have a video call option. Yeah, that's not confusing). She answers by saying "Hey Portal, answer" and then once connected, "Hey Portal, camera on". So I got it to work, but is was a huge hassle to setup. The Portal TV device really needs an HDMI switch that can switch to Portal TV video to answer a Facebook video call, then auto-switch back to the TV when done. Call Quality: My mom has old DSL internet service that is pretty slow. Her Portal TV device is connected via good strength WiFi (there is no ethernet port). Portal TV does a very good job of handling the low bandwidth connection. She sometimes looks a little grainy/pixelated, but the video and audio never drop out. She says that her image of us looks very good. The microphones on the Portal TV device seem to do a good job of locking in on her voice. The Portal auto-zoom on person talking seems to work fairly well, but it occasionally decides to zoom in on Grandma's walker, rather than grandma. But it's smart enough to keep grandma in the frame, so it's mostly humorous rather than a real problem. In summary, really cool device that does a good job handling low bandwidth connections and looks fantastic on the big screen. ... show more

  • Great solution for Messenger but buggy
Style: Portable
Update 2-8-2023: Still using the portal but "hey portal" was recently lobotomized in favor of Alexa, which I did not care for. I don't use Alexa and was happy with simple "hey portal" commands but now it only makes calls via voice and does not give time, weather, or much of anything else. Kind of felt like in the original Planet of the Apes movie when Taylor met up with his astronaut buddies after being separated, "You did it.. you bloody baboon." Also, the wifi issues continue. I made a trouble ticket with Facebook for it and in the end, they said to factory reset the unit (no change) or get another router (tried old one with no change) -- what great ideas. I have noticed that it drops wifi just sitting still in one spot but no rhyme or reason -- just now and then randomly but needs a reboot to fix it. I just live with the wifi issue until something better comes along since I need it and is still better than the phone. Oh well. I bought this to keep in touch with a family member who lives far away. I found my S20 phone not adequate or comfortable for long calls. Upon using this it made a huge difference with very good full range speakers and a nice large screen. It gets used for Spotify but apps are few and limited so I don't use it for much else. Battery life is decent with 5 or so hours of continuous video calling but would predera bit more. Messenger works but I don't see a way to see text messages too like on my phone app. The downside to this device is buggy software in the wifi. I have tested this unit with different routers and it drops calls sometimes at random whenever signal gets weak. It also does not reconnect to wifi and needs to be rebooted to work again. This is semi random but mostly when signal gets weak or has to hand off in a mesh router setup. I am hopeful that a software update fixes this soon. If it did better not dropping long calls it would be great. It's still useful to me with limitations in range from routers and offers a great video calling experience much better than phones or tablets. ... show more
