Facebook Portal

Engadget Review
Facebook’s Portal is a smart display with an emphasis on video chat. Unlike its bigger brother, the Portal+, the $199 Portal is not only cheaper, but also more compact and stylish. It uses algorithms to track your movements, which is great for staying in the conversation, but that does give off some creepy vibes. Two voice assistants can get a little confusing, and functionality is limited compared to competing smart displays. It’s a compelling proposition for avid Messenger users, but others should probably pass.
