Facebook announced and showed off what they're calling Facebook Home today, but that's not all.

The HTC first will sport a 4.3-inch LCD display with a 720p resolution, as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual-core processor — one of Qualcomm's newest chips that was announced not too long ago. The phone also packs a 5MP camera on the back, as well as a 1.6MP camera on the front for video chatting and taking selfies.

The phone will also come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box, meaning that you'll have access to the latest features of Android, including Google Now, improved notifications, and a smoother UI thanks to Project Butter. Plus, there's 1GB of RAM to keep you going through all the Facebook multi-tasking you'll need.

With AT&T's CEO at the Facebook event right next to HTC, it makes sense then that the first will be available on AT&T, and will support the carrier's fast 4G LTE. Overall, this looks to be the phone to get if you're a Facebook junkie at heart. Have a look at our Android Hub for more Android news!
