One of the most awaited things coming up this year is the new Mozilla Firefox mobile Operating System with the Taiwanese company ZTE and their phone named Open. Mozilla Firefox is one of the leading open source companies which has a huge network of developers who contribute to its open source projects. Firefox is fairly known for its browser and its email client Thunderbird and now they are making an entry into the Smartphone OS market with the Firefox OS.
Firefox claims to access hardware of phone with simple JavaScript which is a very unorthodox but brilliant concept of execution as a developer. The preview of the Firefox OS was shown in July 2012 and at first look itself the OS showed tremendous capability of being a tough competitor to the Android and the iOS operating systems.
The phone has a rear camera of 3.2 megapixel which is decent compared to todays standard of 5-8 megapixel phones. The smartphone comes with 256 Mb RAM and just 512 MBs of internal memory which is a major let down in today's date where 32GB is starting to become the norm. The phone will have the standard connectivity options like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G.
Mozilla Firefox Mobile OS with the ZTE Open Phone
After the launch of the Ubuntu OS for mobiles, it will be really very interesting to see how Firefox gels into this field. It is quite surprising to see that Firefox Mobile OS is choosing a low budget smart phone as its entry device as most new OS are released with high end devices. The specs of the Open smartphone seem very ordinary and even low-budget Android have better specs but maybe that is the point Mozilla is trying to make with the Firefox Mobile OS that it doesnt need very high end specs to run their software.ZTE Open Specs - Hardware
The chip powering the ZTE Open is Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7225A SOC with an A5 cortex CPU.
