Facebook unveils new models of Portal video chatting devices

Standard models of the Portal, which ship on October 15, will come in 129 dollars and 179 dollars versions.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.

“I think this is the killer feature for a device like this,” said the vice president of AR/VR Andrew Bosworth. 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.
