Portal closely resembles Amazons Echo Show.
Portals display is fixed in landscape mode, but Portal+s screen can pivot between portrait and landscape modes.
Smart Camera stays with the action and automatically pans and zooms to keep everyone in view.
Smart Sound minimizes background noise and enhances the voice of whoever is talking, no matter where they move.
Facebook has done this to give an assurance to its users that it is not watching their moves.
Also, Facebook allows users to disable cameras and the microphones in Portal and Portal+ with a single tap.
Changing the passcode requires your Facebook password.
The Portal conversations stay between the user and the people they are calling.
In addition, video calls on the Portal are encrypted, which means the calls are always secure.
Voice Control + Alexa
Portal offers hands-free voice control.
Like other voice-enabled devices, Portal only sends voice commands to Facebook servers after you say, Hey Portal.
you might delete your Portals voice history in your Facebook Activity Log whenever you want.
you could also use Amazon Prime music streaming on the gear.
Music and Video
Portal enables shared activities like listening to music together or watching some of your favorite shows.
you might also use the touchscreen to start a call.
Calls can be made to and from Messenger-enabled smartphones and tablets.
Portal supports group calls of up to seven people at the same time.
Another cool feature is Story Time, which has five interactive storybooks you might read.
This feature brings stories to life with custom sound effects and visuals.
