Portal from Facebook review: My new favorite way to video chat
(Android Central)

This little box has reset my expectations for video chat everywhere. Having a smart display in your home means different things to different people. Some like having a nice connected digital photo frame that also occasionally answers questions and controls smart home tech. Others enjoy using these displays as a whole home hub, with information for each person in the house and sort of mission control for music throughout the house. Me? I like having these displays in the kitchen, where they can be a television and a recipe book and a podcast delivery mechanism when I need them without touching my phone. One thing I didn`t expect to want was a way to use these speakers as a phone, which both Google Home and Amazon Echo products allow. But now, thanks to Facebook, I now want to ditch phone calls in exchange for video chat. Because, for the first time ever, I found a video chat system that isn`t a chore to use.
