A week ago Facebook co-founder Mark
Zuckerberg announced in a livestreamed event that HTC First will be the first
in a series of Facebook Home Phones starting on April 12 in the US.
Facebook Home Phone will function on device
from manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, ZTE, HTC, Huawei and Lenovo, Android
operating devices. The users of the mentioned devices have the luxury of
installing Facebook Home without buying a new Android operating phone. Teaming up with Google, it’s evident that the
social networking kings are serious about grabbing a market share and obviously
pull profits, but can Facebook make it?
When unlocking Facebook Home Phone, the
first thing seen is Facebook instead of the usual lock screen and Facebook Home
Phone differ from other Androids, in that it allows people to pop up and chat
with you as you’re apps.
From the music scheme of things, the
removal of friction between listening to something and sharing music with
someone, reason being that Facebook will be the main place to hang out on that
phone.
With Mr Zuckerberg mentioning that Facebook
Home Phone being available on Friday to the US user, one can only wonder when this
side of the globe will get the taste of the Facebook Home Phone.
