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!

Software update:
The Portal Mini update has added support for Zoom, Bluejeans and GotoMeeting, plus games and browser. Not Netflix.
The Portal TV update added Netflix, but no new video conferencing apps.
Alexa built in too, means I can control my smart devices. Not used what's app on it, but spotify all good, best bit of kit I have seen for some time. I would recommend.
