HTC has confirmed that their new Facebook Phone, the "First," will actually run stock Android underneath the Facebook Home user interface.
Perhaps more notably, Facebook Home can be disabled with a few clicks, leaving you with a stock Android phone if you ever get sick of Facebook experience.
HTC has not built a device without HTC Sense (or other overlays) since 2010's G2.
The company says the device has a 4.3-inch display, a Qualcomm 400 Snapdragon dual-core processor, 16GB internal storage and 1GB RAM. The phone has a larger 2000 mAh battery and dual 1.5MP/5MP cameras. As explained by Facebook at the launch event on Thursday, Facebook Home "brings your News Feed to the surface, for access to important social updates without opening up additional applications."
