Facebook Lite App – Very Lite But Very Nice

Facebook has officially launched its Lite app for Android users in India and the Philippines. It’s designed to provide the social network’s core experience reliably on spotty and slow mobile connections.

Facebook says its Lite app is quicker than its main mobile app over 2G because its servers take on the burden of optimizing content.

Imagine, the app is only 430 KB, making it quicker to download. It includes push notifications, and messaging just like the Facebook app.

It’s my first time to use it and it is very convenient, my feed loads up right away. It really differs to the main Facebook app in terms of speed although it lacks some features like video streaming. I’m also happy that I can still manage my Facebook Pages without logging in to the separate app.

Currently, the app is only downloadable via Android. Facebook says it will roll out the app in other markets over the coming weeks and months.

Starmobile Icon Looks Good, Hopefully Not too Expensive

The folks at unbox.ph has taken a first look at Starmobile Icon and their pictures show a nice matte black finish. This is refreshing since the recent phones release by Starmobile’s competitors look shiny. It also reminds me of my Cherry Mobile Flare but with three capacitive buttons instead of four.

The icons are stock Android Jelly Bean ones which should be good for most people. Starmobile Icon is slightly thicker at 10.5 mm but that would be fine since you know there’s a quad core monster inside. Starmobile has a history of releasing smartphones with higher prices. Hopefully, it would be way less than ₱9,999.00 since word spread that it will be priced lower than ₱10,000.00.
