Mozilla has entered the low-cost smartphone wars with a bang with its ultra-low-cost Firefox OS powered device that is said to cost just $25 (that is around Rs.1500). In the recent times we have seen budget smartphones coming up from big manufacturers with good performance and under the price tag of 10k, but a smartphone that comes at a cost of a 64 GB microSD card is quite astonishing.
Mozilla teamed up with Spice and Intex to build the $25 smartphone
Mozilla has teamed up with Indian manufacturers Spice and Intex to build this device with its HTML5 smartphone operating system, the Firefox OS. Mozilla will be powering these device with Spreadtrum, a Chinese chip manufacturer, processor.
The device will be launched keeping in mind those people who want to move up to a smartphone from a feature phone, so don't expect a thunderbolt configuration and performance. This may not be the device that most techies will drool for but will definitely serve as a smartphone to surf the web, transfer content, take snaps, etc.
The device is said to have a Cortex A5 processor which will support WCDMA and EDGE but not LTE. It has support for Bluetooth, Wi-fi, a camera, and could power a device with upto a 3.5 inch display. Sweet configuration at such a price.
