"Facebook is holding an Android-centric event at its Menlo Park campus on Thursday. During the event, the social network will showcase its \u201Cnew home on Android.\u201D Details are sparse, however, on what exactly that new home will look like.\nMany are speculating Facebook will unveil the long-rumored \u201CFacebook Phone,\u201D an HTC handset running a special flavor of Android designed specifically with Facebook in mind. \nAndroid-focused site Android Police posted photos Monday of what it claims is a leaked version of the Facebook Phone\u2019s operating system. The traditional Android homescreen is replaced with a custom Facebook application called \u201CFacebook Home,\u201D which runs on top of HTC\u2019s Sense 4.5 skin and Android 4.1.2. If the leaked screenshots are any indication, Facebook Home will look a lot like Facebook's existing Android application (pictured above), with added access to some of your handset's settings at the bottom of the screen.\n\nHardware details uncovered in the OS breakdown point to the \u201CFacebook Phone\u201D being a mid-range handset by HTC codenamed Myst. Not to be confused with the company\u2019s new flagship handset, the HTC One, the Myst has a 4.3-inch 720p display, 1GB of RAM, a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and a 5-megapixel camera. Those specs fall in line with leaked \"Facebook Phone\" specifications we saw earlier this month.\n\nSEE ALSO: Sorry, A Facebook Phone Doesn't Make Sense\nSome evidence seems to point to Facebook Home being able to run on other Android phones besides the Myst, with Facebook enthusiasts having the option to download the Android launcher from Google Play.\nIs it all true? We'll find out Thursday morning.\nDo you think Facebook is launching a \"Facebook Phone\" on Thursday? Tell us what you hope to see the social network announce at its event in the comments below.\nThumbnail image by Mashable, Emily Price; Screenshots courtesy of Android Police"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
