Portal Go: pathetic, unreliable charging port
The charging input is about the worst designed device I have ever seen. If you move the Portal Go by mistake, even slightly, it fails to charge. The charging disc is far too loose; the spring-loaded buttons make matters worse; you get no warning at all that this device is not charging; and worst of all, the battery is so feeble it just drains itself even though unused. This is a VERY POOR PERFORMANCE indeed by Meta. Designers have evidently been so focussed on easy movement and a “nice look” that they didn’t do the obvious thing – have a USB plug-in. Real rocket science, eh guys? This is a pathetic failure and I’m EXTREMELY dissatisfied. If there is a way for me to get round this truly stupid design fail, please let me know. I’m totally fed up with it all, having lost yet another Zoom call because of Meta ineptitude. PS: The “follow you around” function doesn’t work as advertised, either.
