Performance
Under the hood, the HTC First is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400 chipset, featuring a dual-core 1.4 GHz Krait CPU and an Adreno 305 GPU. These specifications provide adequate performance for the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and the integrated Facebook Home UI. Although the 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (with no expandable storage option) may be limiting by contemporary standards, they are manageable for basic social media, internet browsing, and communication tasks.
