The new Facebook Portal is a lot of fun if you have friends and family on WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger who you like to chat with. But it doesn't have as many features as an Amazon Echo Show or Google Nest Hub Max.

's FaceTime. Most of my family doesn't actively use Facebook anymore, but folks with Facebook Messenger can call up to 8 people at once.I liked it for simple video calls with my brother and his wife in Santa Monica, who had an identical loaner unit from Facebook. The video was really clear and has a nice wide angle lens so I was able to see my brother, his wife and my niece.
The camera can also follow people around the room, so they don't need to be sitting still. If you want an in-home video calling system, the Portal is better than an Amazon Echo Show or GoogleWhile the best feature is the video calling function, the Portal spends most of its time as a digital picture frame, showing pictures that you can upload from your phone, or that you've selected from Facebook and Instagram.
If your friends don't use WhatsApp or Facebook, then you can't place a video call. Plenty of people use WhatsApp, like my siblings, so that's a nice added option that wasn't available last year. But my inlaws and my parents haven't fully adopted it yet.The speakers on the Portal are better than last year's model but it still didn't really blow me away.
