- What is Facebook Portal and how does it work?
Our quick take
Facebook Portal TV - 4.0 / 5
Intelligent video calling
- 12.5MP resolution camera with 720p video streaming 120-degree field-of-view with Smart Camera features to track people on the call Far-field 8 microphone array with omni-directional capture capabilities Beamforming technology to capture voices and reduce background noise
Private by design
- Hardware-level privacy shutter Compatible with most TVs via HDMI connection
More than just video calls
To recap
Out of all three available Portal devices, we think TV makes the most sense of the lot, as it augments your existing hardware rather than demanding a dedicated screen purchase. If you want to make Facebook/Messenger/WhatsApp calls from your living room then this is a great way to do that - if, that is, you are still a dedicated Facebook user.
