HTC Myst Facebook phone and Facebook Home app details surface ahead of launch

While we are all waiting for the Facebook’s Android related event on April 4th, Android Police has got hold of the rumored Facebook phone’s ROM that reveals details about the HTC Myst Facebook phone and the new app  called Facebook Home. The specifications of the HTC Myst matches with the specs that leaked last month that include a 4.3-inch 720p display, 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 processor, Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) with HTC Sense 4.5, 5MP rear camera, 1.6 MP front-facing camera,  1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.

The HTC Myst is expected to launch in the U.S on AT&T. It would obviously come with a dedicated Facebook key, just like the earlier Facebook phones, HTC Salsa and ChaCha. The device would also have a Facebook Home app, which is a completely different app from the current Facebook application on Android. This would turn the Facebook app into a home screen. It is likely to launch as a standalone app in the Google Play Store.

Chat Heads, a new feature is expected to come to Facebook Home and the Messenger apps, but no details what it would do. Since this is a developer version of the app there might be changes in the final version of the app. Let’s wait for couple more days to see what Facebook has to offer.
