Firefox OS running ZTE Open specs revealed before launch

23 February, 2013
Comes with a rather modest set of specifications, suggesting a low-end positioning of the device.

Fawad Hassan, 23 Feb 2013That's Flash related problem. Don't blame Firefox for that!... moreTure, but chrome runs smoother than firefox in general.

As for the OS itself, meh. Sick and tired of tizen, firefox, sailfish etc reinventing the freaking wheel. Do something different but functional. Gestures aren't all to a touch screen interface OS nor are differently shaped icons.

    Could it be? Could Firefox OS succeed in one of the few areas that Android fails? Is it possible to have a phone with crappy specs that won't suffer from perpetual lag? I'm rooting for you, Firefox!

      ZTE should have installed a 5-MP camera to make the phone command some attention, expecially that the OS is new. The 3.2 MP is a bad-luck for that phone, I think.

        my friend work for mozilla told us that they test their os in a phone worth £50. So you can see that phone with low specs but you will be amazed with its perfomance. Give it a try first before criticise it by saying its ''weak smartphone''

          By the way I am regular user of Firefox and I don't remember last time it crashed.
          My experience with IE and Chrome is not good. They crashes more than Firefox.

            I am not sure if firefox os is important. I have the firefox on my PC and always crash when flash appears, unstable. I think future could be UBUNTU linux ported to mobiles.

              AnonD-116546, 23 Feb 2013Weak yes, but powered by the Open Web Platform, i.e. HTML/C... morePlus, not everybody feels like spending 600-700 euro/dollar for a telephone, be it smart or not.

              Generally, it's a very interesting idea that Mozilla is coming with and personally, I hope it really lifts off and gets a substantial enough market share.

                  I'm happy to see a phone that doesn't try to be the largest, fastest .. etc, we already have a lot of high-end phones, more focusing on mid-range to low-end phones is much more important for many countries around the world.

                    Weak yes, but powered by the Open Web Platform, i.e. HTML/CSS/JavaScript. This is a substantial device.
