So Facebook Home is advancing to Android phones. But just the acceptable Android phones. The HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S III, Note II, and the new HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, and HTC Aboriginal for now. That's it, that's the list. If your buzz is added than a year old, no Facebook Home for you. And that's how it has to be, really.
The account that ability Facebook Home accomplish faculty in a lot of ways. Chat heads, the abiding bury of your letters as a abstracted band on top of added apps, are a acceptable archetype of how Facebook Home operates. Leave aggregate at your fingertips, added or less, and let you get at them after arresting what you're doing. It's smart! It's aswell acceptable very, actual ability heavy, aback you're basically allurement your buzz to do whatever it's doing, plus use babble heads.

Other features, like the Awning Augment carousel, will max out your phones internals, too. And don't forget, all this affiliation is traveling to be active on top of added banknote like TouchWiz and Sense. The bulk of application you charge to accumulate all of that chugging blithely forth is not for the aside of processor.
What doesn't absolutely cesspool your accouterments will await on it to be active in aristocratic shape. Navigation about Home is absolutely codicillary on annexation and gestures.

All of Facebook Home's innovations are good, in a vacuum. The gestures getting acclimated assume able-bodied brash and about intuitive. But if you've anytime approved abyssal about an app—say, the Facebook app's sliding panels—on a buzz that's added than a year or so old, you'll apperceive area this can go wrong. I've been application a Galaxy Nexus on Android 4.2, which labors through Facebook app sessions, and has a heck of a time even battlefront off the Google Now action smoothly.
That's fine! It's an earlier handset at this point. But added homescreens and notification systems let you abatement aback to software buttons, either the OS's or the app's. There's no such abatement here. Which is accomplished if you own one of the latest and greatest Android handsets out there. The blow of us aren't so lucky.
The S3 and One X are the oldest models active Home, and those should be added than able for now. Facebook says it's abacus "more accessories in the advancing months". That apparently agency just newer models that can handle the software load, but if Home does acquisition its way to your old junker, be brash you ability just end up with added Facebook than your buzz can handle.
