Really fantastic job on the review! A+ production quality. I’ve watched every review for this device, and you were the most thorough. I use Messenger video call quite heavily, so despite the drawbacks, I think it’ll serve me well. Thanks!
It's kinda crazy that the software for a Facebook product is so disappointing, they're literally a software company 😂 Insightful, thorough and clean review, though! Subscribed!
This is a nice review and I liked the home decor too. The video calling and AI tracking feature is the distinguishing feature and worth picking up on sale esp the mini version
I bought one of these for my mom and sister and we all like it a lot. It's also a good way for my sisters kids to call my mom without using my sisters phone.
Thinking of buyiing one too and this is a useful review. Though isn't the interface of this better than Amazon Alexa's speakers with screens? Surely a better comparison would be Facebook portal vs Amazon Alexa Shows? Rather than Facebook portal vs. no other smart speaker device out there as I don't think there are any smart speakers with screens that have really good app functionality.
I have no electric cable of portal +. Can you please share portal + facebook can be directly connected to 110-240 v or need any adpayer or it uses less voltage like 19v.
excellent review - helped me to make up my mind as I was tempted by a new lower price here in Canada at best Buy - $279. Seems like a sell-off price with maybe a new version coming. I do like using Google Duo and big screens are rare but this doesn't appeal.
Thanks Allan. I am glad I could help. I also got the Portal for the same reduced price and thought it was a steal. But the user experience didn’t live up to it.
I think they need to release more updates so that it becomes more of a smart display as I think it would be a great smart display due to its size as I think a lot of them have really small displays I think it would have been better if Google made of their Google home hubs this bog as at least then it might ha e more functionality
Excellent review! Great production value and helpful opinion. THX
Thank you Hubert!

Thank you for the feedback Joswa. Means a lot. I agree with you. If you use the messenger for video, it will work out better.

Please compare to the The new Echo Show 10.
Its your first video. One word, Impressed ! Its very Professional.
Hi what's the cooking app used at 2:04 please ¿¿¿
Ps for a first video it's pretty amazing
Thank you! It is the ‘Food Network Kitchen’ app. Hope that was helpful.
Great review. Love your style.
Thank you!

Portal + uses simple electric cable connected directly to 110---240v or need any adpater for less voltage.
Omg this review is so thoughtful and thorough! Thankyou
Nicely narrated !
Thank you Indrani
Thx for the video.one question please ..can you use WhatsApp or Facebook messenger calls only without the camera ? Thx

Nice Review.😎
Thank you!
Thanks, nice review. I was actually considering the Portal TV device for Zoom calls. Have tried Portal+ for Zoom calls?
Thank you!
I haven’t taken a look at the Portal TV. Sorry mate.
Great detailed review. I enjoyed. Honest and really what we look for in a review. Thanks
Can I download to make video calls by zoom and also instagram?
Good question. The Portal has a Zoom app available in its store. The Portal doesn’t support Instagram calls but support Facebook calling.
What is the curved screen that you have in the background? Nice video super helpful ☺️
Thank you! The monitor is a 49inch screen from LG. Link is in the description of the video.
Is it good to buy in December 2021 lemme know 😊?
The second gen portal plus is out but it is still pricey with updates to only the design. I would recommend going for the Echo Show 10 instead.
My work does allow Facebook messanger calls... Eco show i already have.... Portal i was thinking for my work calls coz 90% my calls are on messanger
I saw new version but mostly people say its downloaded nd lack in features nd screen dosnt work like this
I have no electric cable of portal +. Can you please share portal + facebook can be directly connected to 110-240 v or need any adpayer or it uses less voltage like 19v.
Yes, the portal plus comes with an included power cable for the voltage.

If Google would make something like this and support drop-in between devices, it would be the perfect home smart device. I'd buy like five of these.
Nice review, can we stream security cameras in portal ?
Hi Manoj, that particular feature is not supported by the Alexa integration.
Can you cast TH-cam and TH-cam music to it?
Unfortunately you can’t cast TH-cam videos to Sonos. I know that casting TH-cam Music is possible via the Sonos app.
@@TechnologicallyCurious thanks for the reply. I’m talking about the portal plus though
The Portal doesn’t support casting TH-cam videos or Music. The only casting capability Portal has is sharing photos using the smartphone Portal app.
Nailed the 1st video 😊 🧿
Thank you Nadia!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Spot on!
