HTC First is one of the latest products recently introduced by HTC. This is also the first smartphone that has allowed Facebook to take control. It offers a Facebook experience you won’t find on any other phone.
HTC First is not a very expensive flagship phone from the company, even though it is the first phone to feature the “Facebook Home” option. It has a more compact design than other HTC phones and has a simple but understated look. You’ll be impressed by the seamless design that comes with the all-glass front, soft-touch back, and rounded edges. All these things impart light weight to the device and it is comfortable to wear. It may not be as flashy as other HTC flagships in the HTC One series; however, the well-placed buttons allow the user to easily navigate the screen. You cannot access the phone’s battery due to its design. Also, there is no memory card slot on the phone, however, the 16 GB internal memory will surely meet the storage needs of most users. This mid-range phone is based on a 1.4GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor running on 1GB of RAM. You will find almost all connectivity options on the phone including GPS, Wi-Fi, micro USB and NFC, Bluetooth 4.0.
HTC First sports a decent 4.3-inch screen that’s backed by a sharp and colorful 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. You’ll be impressed by the phone’s wide viewing angles. Unlike the other HTC One series phones, the manufacturer has not placed the speaker on either the front or the back of the phone; instead, it has placed it on the bottom edge. The quality of the sound produced by the speaker is also quite decent.
The “Facebook Home” feature is perhaps the phone’s most notable feature. Unlike other interface skins like Samsung TouchWiz or HTC Sense, you can easily disable “Facebook Home” without rooting the device. When you turn it off, the device reverts to Android Jelly Bean. This great feature is well designed and seems quite simple to use. It may take some time to get used to the feature and its interface; however, once you have fully understood it, browsing this social networking site will be an easy and fun way for you.
