Facebook unveils new Portal video chat, TV streaming devices
- Wednesday | 18th September, 2019
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Facebook Inc has unveiled new models of its Portal video chatting devices, making the company’s first foray into TV streaming hardware but offering a limited selection of subscription services. Portal TV will cost $149 and hit the shelves on Nov. 5. Facebook is hoping the social nature of its products will be their selling point, allowing users to watch shows together while interacting via video call on the same screen. But Portal TV offers only a few music apps and has limited options for TV programming, meaning it could face a stiff challenge in attracting consumers used to content-rich rivals like Apple TV, Netflix and Roku. Executives said Portal TV would have Amazon’s Prime Video app loaded by the time it is available.
