Facebook Reportedly Wants to Steel the Home Speaker Show With a Device of Its Own
By Sara Shaw • January 12, 2018
Facebook is now in the fight against home assistant devices like Amazon Alexa and Google Home for kitchen counter and living room space. Reports say that Facebook is working on their own communication focused tablet called Portal. Portal will focus on communication and video calls rather than voice assisted controls like Alexa or Google Home. Retail price for the Portal is at $500, which is much steeper than other competing devices. Facebook denied requests for a comment, but the article below from AdAge has more on the Portal and Facebook attempts to sell consumer products.
