If there’s one thing Gen Zers and Millennial’s have in common, it’s definitely a fear of phone calls. Whether it’s finally making your own dentist appointment or ignoring another unwanted spam call, phone anxiety is real. And nothing, and I mean nothing, is worse than when someone calls you to say something that could have been sent in a text. It’s basically the social version of “this meeting could’ve been an email.” Unfortunately, this phone anxiety often translates to calls you want to make as well. No matter how many times you try to explain emojis to grandma, some things are just better said in person.
The Alexa-enabled Facebook Portal provides a unique experience that doesn’t feel like a phone call at all — the device’s immersive features feel as if you are in the same room as the person you’re calling. The Facebook portal comes equipped with a smart camera and smart sound, which means the camera effortlessly follows you to ensure you always stay in frame, and smart sound minimizes background noises so you can be clearly heard and seen throughout the call. Calling one of the smallest members of your family? Portal even offers music, animation, and augmented reality effects to make sure they remain entertained. But the Portal isn’t just for calls — you can also enjoy music, news, and even your own Facebook photos and videos with it.
Usually $199, you can save $70 on the Facebook Portal today when you grab it for $129 at Amazon.
