FacebookPortal Mini 8" - Smart, Hands-Free Video Calling with Alexa Built-in (Black)

Cadeau

This is the BEST product that I've bought on-line. It far exceeded my expectations.I bought this so that I could Facetime my 87 yr old Uncle who is recovering (!!!!) from Covid-19 and is in a nursing home under lock-down. We thought about a simple cell phone...but even that was too high tech for him. The Portal is so simple to set up. The picture quality is far superior to an iPhone that we tried. The camera focus is GREAT and it follows small movements. The speaker is excellent. My Uncle could not hear a cell phone, even set on speaker. He now hears me clearly!Although he is physically not yet able to place a video call, the Administrator of the nursing home did, just by touching the screen and than touching my picture. She thinks that many other residents would like to have their own Portal.I bought two more for my great-grandchildren. My only regret is that there was a discount offered three days after my purchase. I can't wait to get my great grandchildren set up!

Bought this device to communicate with my dad who has limited vision and mobility. He is able to call family members and answer calls with just a voice command. We use Facebook messenger to communicate with him. Although he really can't see us (because of limited vision) we can see him, which helps us know that he is okay. After we made him a Facebook account and added the "friends" he wants to communicate with, all we had to do was connect to wifi. The device stays plugged in all the time, so we don't have to worry about charging it. So happy we found a device like this to keep us connected.

This is easy for my 80 year old mother to use. No static - so easy to hear and understand. A lifesaver with her being in a nursing home and not being able to see family during the pandemic.

I meant to get the regular size, but the mini works great. Not mini at all.
