Facebook Reveals New Portal Devices, Continuing Its Hardware Push

Facebook has added two new Portal video-calling devices to its growing hardware catalog, as well as a new Portal for Business option aimed at assisting small businesses in leveraging video calling for increased collaboration and efficiency.

First and foremost, Facebook is launching its next-generation Portal+, which includes a 14-inch tilting display, and Portal Go, a 10-inch portable video calling device, in order to capitalize on the growing interest in remote work, which has already fueled increased take-up of its Portal smart home tools.

The biggest change is Portal Go. The Portal Go, which is essentially an iPad-sized video screen that is connected to your Facebook contacts for video calls, will expand the tool's use capacity, which could be popular in a variety of applications.
