Despite constant denials by the company itself, the Facebook/self-branded smartphone rumor just won’t die. Today, business oriented City AM newspaper posted an article claiming to know inside information of two Facebook smartphones being unveiled at this years MWC. The phones will reportedly be built by HTC and run a customized version of Android. Facebook’s own Joe Hewitt and Matthew Papakipos are said to be the top two minds behind the phones’ launch.
Given the highly customizable nature of Android, Facebook phones with special, deep integration are certainly intriguing on paper. But how well will they actually turn out to be? That remains to be seen. With that said, any other information regarding hardware or even what version of Android the claimed “Facebook phones†will run is unknown at this time. Facebook meanwhile, continues to deny any such project or phone is in the works.Source: City AMVia: Cellular-News
