Revolutionizing Social: Facebook’s Portable Portal Gone
Facebook is taking its Portal line in a different direction. The social networking giant recently unveiled the new Facebook Portal Go.
We’ll take a look at the new product and how it differs from other devices in the Portal family.
Video Chatting and More on the Go
Portal Go brings the usual smart camera experience but with a unique twist. Thanks to a built-in battery, the device can be taken from room to room in a home during a Zoom video call or anything else.

There’s even a built-in handle to help make the device easier to hold.
The device sports a 10-inch screen and a 12-megapixel camera with an ultrawide field of view. That will help keep the person talking in view at all times.
And even when you’re not on a video call, the Portal Go has a wide variety of other features. It offers Amazon’s Alexa built so you can check the weather, play a song, and more with a simple voice command.

It’s also compatible with a wide variety of other services like Pandora, Spotify, and Plex.
For privacy, the Portal Go offers a built-in camera cover and a switch that can disable the microphone and camera.

The Facebook Portal Go retails for $199 . You can preorder the device now directly from Facebook. Orders will start shipping on October 19.
A New Way to Use Facebook Portal
The new Facebook Portal Go provides a unique way to enjoy the social network’s video chat-focused hardware. The built-in battery and ability to move between rooms in your house makes it stand out in a sea of other smart speakers with a touchscreen and cameras.
And if the Portal Go doesn’t pique your interest, the Portal TV lets you turn any television into a big-screen video chatting platform.
