CNET USA


The cameras in Facebook's $349 Portal Plus and $199 smart displays skillfully track people around a room
making you feel like you're actually there with them.
making you feel like you're actually there with them.
They're expensive and don't have any standout features beyond their autotracking cameras. You can't use a Portal if you aren't a Facebook user -- or don't use the Facebook Messenger service. Facebook could target the ads you see based on the length and frequency of your Portal video calls.
