you know you want more facebook on your phone I'm Taylor Martin this is pocket now and this is the HTC first unboxing the facebook phone or something to that effect the HTC first was announced last week at Facebook's event by a surprise appearance by Peter Chou HTC CEO and this is I guess sort of the first Facebook phone but you know the argument there is that every phone is a facebook phone this one just comes with facebook home pre-installed so it's the first facebook home phone I don't know anyway this is the HTC first it is out today and this one just arrived so let's get inside the box and see what it's all about first if you look around the box that's very plain minimal but kind of the same design we've seen by HTC on the boxes for a while now and this thing is extremely difficult to get off without ripping oh my gosh all right Wow and now that's really easy to open go figure alright so the device itself is sitting right there of course move that to the side and see what's inside the box oh gosh papers do not discard this is a replacement label if you take the sticker off the phone we've seen that before some HTC stickers nice sim removal tool this is your Quick Start Guide and other reading material what is this safety and regulatory guide okay a charging block through this little plastic here AC adapter and this is I imagine micro USB cable wow it's early the FedEx guy actually woke me up this morning so yeah anyway this is the device so we're actually going to have to rip the plastic off first it's actually really really small I'll have any device is right near be for a size comparison but this is a 4-inch 4.3 inch device so it's very small let's get this class oh and texting and driving they can wait of course TNT's favorite little slogan so let's take a look at the device itself I looked over and realized I wasn't recording audio so excuse the terrible terrible audio on this i'm using my camera's built-in audio and that's never a good thing anyway this is a 4.3 inch display at 720p that's 342 pixels per inch so it's a relatively high ppi it comes with a custom button layout which is back home and menu but they HTC and Facebook wanted these to be extremely extremely minimal so you have simply an arrow a circle and a line the front-facing camera here is a 1 point 6 megapixel camera but it's also very wide angle as we've seen on other HTC models and the rest of the hardware is extremely extremely minimal along the right edge you have a micro USB port in a SIM slot I guess that's micro sim then you have a power button on the top noise cancelling mic and a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on the top on the left side you have nothing but a very matte finished volume rocker and the bottom is the speaker with the same little grill grill pattern we've seen on the droid DNA and the HTC One on the back there is just a few little branding or emblems down here HTC Facebook an AT&T and then you have your 5 megapixel camera around back and that's it is a very very plain device and it's soft touch so it's very it feels really nice in the hand but it is small did grab the HTC One X for a quick comparison so the size of this is quite small and feels really weird I've been carrying you know several large devices lately so this feels extremely small and it probably looks really really small in my gigantic hands which everybody comments about so not a lot going on here with the hardware it's a very very minimal device with very little going on with the hardware doesn't have monster specifications it doesn't have a gigantic display and this is mainly about what happens when you hit that power button what comes on and we're going to get to that in the next video so stay tuned for more HTC first coverage there will be plenty more next week so stay tuned and I'll see you next time that about does it for this video if you liked the video be sure to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel and stay tuned for more HTC first coverage there will be plenty more next week so stay tuned I'm Taylor Martin and I will see you next time you
