The Portal Mini has an 8-inch HD display while the Portal has a 10-inch HD display. These Portal devices will adjust brightness and color of the displays based on your surroundings. They also have a built-in speaker and they now support WhatsApp video calling. You can now get to 27% off Facebook Portal video-calling devices from Amazon. Find the deal prices below.
