HTC FIRST REVIEW
HTC
launched HTC First in April 2013, HTC First for AT&T is the first
smartphone to feature the social network’s Android add-on out of the box. HTC
First coming with Android operating system, Dual-core 1.4 GHz Krait and with
1GB RAM. It was announced and released in the same month of April. There are
few things in the mobile industry that have been constant over the last few
years, but one that has is the rumor of a mythical "Facebook Phone."
The idea of a phone that could only interact with people and services around
Facebook didn't make a whole lot of sense to most people and apparently it
didn't make much sense to Facebook itself either. Because rather than a proper Facebook Phone,
the HTC First. Facebook phone. Those two words in that order have been repeated
over and over again for the last couple of years, simply as rumors for the
longest time. Then the HTC Status hit the scene with an integrated Facebook
button – still, Zuckerberg himself claimed that it wasn't Facebook's phone. A Facebook
phone has supposedly been in development for years, but the whispers were
always deemed false until Facebook announced Home earlier this month. Replacing
a few standard Android apps and injecting itself into major aspects of the OS,
Facebook found a way to finally make an impact on mobile that's bigger than
releasing an app. HTC first coming with the the dimension of 126 x 65 x 8.9 mm
(4.96 x 2.56 x 0.35 in) and weighing 123.9 grams it is the beautiful handset
