Initially, Facebook phone should have cost nothing. Sources close to the company who worked on the phone told BusinessInsider that Facebook executives wanted to make a phone with its technological resources and then provide those phones for free to the social network users.
Facebook hoped that money will come from ads running on these phones. But when they discovered that each phone would produce costs of $700 to the company, they changed their mind.
For this reason Facebook has given up the idea to offer the phone for free.
According to quoted sources, the first phone that will come from Facebook will be launched in April, which is produced by HTC. Also, Facebook is preparing a second phone that will be launched in the next 12-18 months, which is probably produced by Samsung.
