HTC First

HTC unveiled its very own Facebook phone recently. Dubbed First, the smartphone arrives with a dedicated UI and a new homescreen called Facebook Home. Apart from the much talked about FB integration, the specs are fairly standard and include a 4.3-inch 1280x720 HD display, a 5-megapixel rear camera with a 1.6-megapixel front camera. On the processor front, HTC has decided to go with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual core chip clocked at 1.4 GHz along with Adreno 305 GPU. The smartphone also packs in 1GB of RAM and is backed by a solid 2,000 mAh battery pack. Available in white, red, light blue and black color variants, HTC First is expected to hit Indian markets later this year.
