Instead of saving your entire library to the Google Photos app, all images displayed are grabbed from the Photos server – if you think this translates to long image loading times, you’d be wrong. Google Photos was demo’d during the I/O event for everyone to see, and images loaded up in full HD as soon as they were opened....

It’s one of four Portal devices now available in the UK, with the others all tablet-like devices with various size screens. Only Portal Mini is cheaper with a retail price of £129; it has an 8in screen, a 10W speaker and a 13Mp camera, but we’re really not sure why you wouldn’t just buy a budget tablet that has additional functionality for the same money.
