Facebook Portal Mini is a beautifully crafted and Alexa powered smart display that measures 8.48 x 0.91 x 5.94 inches and weighs 1.68 pounds. As shown in the images, the smart screen looks like a photo frame. With narrow bezel, right-angled corners and solid white exterior, the Portal Mini delivers a minimalistic modern style that brings more sleek aesthetics into your living space.
Facebook Portal Mini comes equipped with a 8-inch screen, and it perfectly works with Messenger and WhatsApp so that you can easily video call or answer friends and family using the screen. Furthermore, built-in smart camera automatically pans, zooms and widens, so you can talk freely while always staying in frame. Built-in microphone also reduces background noise for enhanced clarity.
Moreover, using story time, Facebook Portal Mini brings your children’s favorite stories to life with music, animation and AR effects, and the AR effects make your video chat more fun. The Portal Mini also features Amazon Alexa Built-in so that you can directly ask it to read news, check weather and traffic info, place an order, find out answers from the Internet, interact with other smart home devices and more.
In addition, the smart display exactly serves as a digital photo frame that displays your photos from Facebook, Instagram and your phone’s camera roll. More info can be shown in the left and right lower corners including time, date, weather, reminders and even a notification that lets you know when friends are available to connect.
