HTC First's Review

Already taking a stab at the so-called "Facebook phone" in devices like the HTC ChaCha and Salsa, which merely employed dedicated Facebook buttons for quick access to certain functions of the app, veteran smartphone maker HTC is once again taking helm in delivering the next Facebook phone. This time, however, Facebook as a company in itself is taking a more profound leadership with this latest venture, seeing that there's an overhaul with the actual Facebook experience. Tagged as the first phone to offer the all-encompassing Facebook experience, the HTC First seems like the no-brainer device for hardcore Facebook users, but will it have enough uniqueness to call its own, so that it's a compelling choice over other devices that are bound to also get treated to the new Facebook Home experience?
The package contains:
Wrapping our heads around the fact that the HTC First is sporting a fine looking 4.3-inch 720 x 1280 S-LCD 3 display, we're humbled most that it contributes to a very pocket-friendly handset. Indeed, it's not as captivating or jaw dropping as other recent displays, but it's effective enough for our eyes to handle. At a pixel density of 341 ppi, it's undoubtedly detailed enough to give everything that tasteful level of clarity, and at the same time, we can't complain about its neutral color reproduction. However, its brightness output isn't strong enough to repel the harsh glare of direct sunlight. Nevertheless, we're content with the overall package. It's big, but not too big. Also, it's not too overpowering to the point that it's taking away from the star of the show – the new Facebook Home experience.

HTC have already said that this phone (thankfully!) will never officially come to the UK.0
