HTC First showcases the new Facebook interface. The Home software from the social network allows you to see friends' photos, overlaid by status updates, links and eventually, advertisements as soon as you turn on your Android phone.

About 80 per cent of what currently appears within a Facebook user's News Feed will automatically be transferred into the "cover feed" of the Home service.

HTC First has a 4.3-inch super LCD screen with incredible clarity; 341 pixels per inch with 1280 x 720p resolution.

It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with dual-core CPU.

The HTC First will be available in four colours - black, white, red and pale blue.

"The HTC First will offer the best Facebook Home experience on mobile, right out of the box. That's why we're committed to this phone and making it exclusive in our stores," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility.
