Facebook planning to Release its Own Smartphone Next year

Reports of Facebook working on making their own mobile phone is coming out AGAIN. The latest report came from The New York Times who have spoken to several Facebook employees and engineers who have been briefed on the plans.

Facebook is currently working on a Facebook phone, which it plans to launch next year and this time it is going to be more than just a button to launch the app. For this the company has also hired more than half a dozen software and hardware engineers who formerly worked at Apple on the iPhone and iPad.

According to NYT, Zuckerberg feels that Facebook should make its own phone or it will end up being just an app. Having their own phone will also be a source of revenue, something that the free apps cannot achieve.
