ZTE Firefox OS smartphone to hit US and UK eBay

Colin Beatty August 13, 2013 Channel, Mobile

ZTE will be selling their new Firefox OS smartphone soon via Ebay stores in America and the United Kingdom. The smartphone will mean that consumers can buy an affordable smartphone based completely on open Web standards.

The phone ships unlocked and will cost £59.99 in the UK and $79.99 in America.

Firefox OS is designed as a cheaper alternative for low end smartphones, built around applications written solely using HTML5. The ‘Open' phone is primarily meant for developers and early adopters worldwide, according to ZTE.

The Open ships with a 3.5 inch screen and is powered by a 1GHZ processor from Qualcomm. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera with support for Wi-Fi and A-GPS. It has 512MB of integrated storage and 256MB of memory. The device also has integration with Facebook and Twitter and supports location based services via Nokia HERE maps. Firefox web browser is preinstalled with the Firefox marketplace.

The phone has the same basic specifications as the Alcatel One Touch Fire which Deutsche Telekom started selling recently in Poland.

Kitguru says: Firefox OS will be supported by LG Electronics and Huawei Technologies, both companies will start shipping smartphones later this year.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
