Earlier today we showed you some photos of the US version of the HTC ChaCha Facebook phone which is headed to AT&T, the HTC Status, and now AT&T has officially announced the HTC Status Facebook Phone.
The HTC Status features a 2.6 inch touch screen display with a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels, processing is provided by an 800MHz processor and there is also a five megapixel camera on the back with auto-focus and a VGA camera up front.
The HTC Status comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and there is a full QWERTY keyboard, and it also comes with a 1250mAh lithium-ion battery, and it also features a dedicated Facebook button for sharing content with your Facebook friends.
Key Features and Specifications
The HTC Status is designed to cater to social media enthusiasts, particularly those who are avid users of Facebook. The dedicated Facebook button is a standout feature, allowing users to instantly share photos, status updates, and other content directly to their Facebook profiles. This integration makes it easier for users to stay connected with their social network without navigating through multiple apps.
The 2.6 inch touch screen display, while smaller compared to modern smartphones, is adequate for quick browsing and social media interactions. The 480 x 320 pixel resolution ensures that text and images are clear and readable. The 800MHz processor, though modest by today’s standards, is sufficient for handling basic tasks and social media applications.
The five megapixel rear camera with auto-focus allows users to capture decent quality photos, which can be quickly shared on Facebook using the dedicated button. The front VGA camera is suitable for video calls and selfies, although the quality may not be as high as more recent smartphone models.
Battery Life and Usability
The HTC Status is equipped with a 1250mAh lithium-ion battery, which provides a reasonable amount of usage time given the phone’s specifications. Users can expect to get through a day of moderate use, including social media browsing, messaging, and occasional calls. However, heavy users may find themselves needing to recharge before the day is over.
The full QWERTY keyboard is a significant feature for those who prefer physical keys over touch screen typing. This makes typing messages and emails more comfortable and accurate, especially for users who are accustomed to traditional keyboards.
AT&T haven’t announced any pricing details as yet and we don’t know exactly when it will be available. We recently reviewed the UK version of the HTC Status, so have a look at our HTC ChaCha review to see what we thought of this new Facebook smartphone.
