It includes a 12MP Smart Camera with an ultrawide field of view for video calls and doubles as a portable speaker.

Portal+

Portal+ is Facebook’s new 14-inch Portal that also features a 12MP Smart Camera with an ultrawide field of view. Its stereo speakers deliver high-fidelity sound for crystal-clear audio.

It also serves as a perfect dedicated screen for work calls, freeing up your computer to take notes, view a presentation, or multitask. Thanks to the 14-inch screen, you can see up to 25 people on a Zoom call at one time.
