Facebook Has Decided to Continue Portal Devices for All Consumers
The company has confirmed to Variety that it is killing the consumer versions of Portal and will only be focusing on the business applications. However, the current models are still available for sale until the stocks last. Facebook will also provide “long-term” software support for existing customers. For those wondering, Facebook sells a number of versions of Portal. You have the option to get Portal TV, which is a 10-inch Portal smart display, then there is a Portal Go, which has a built-in battery, and the last one is the Portal Plus, a top-tier, 14-inch device. Aside from killing off Portal, Facebook has also reportedly halted the smartwatch efforts and halted the plans to launch the first AR glasses as well. The latter was supposed to release in 2024 but the company has apparently pushed that back several years. Are you using a Facebook Portal device? Let us know how your experience has been so far.
