Not everyone is launching Android phones. Spice has launched the Fire One, which is the first smartphone in India based on Firefox OS. The handset provides a good option for those who want to upgrade from feature phones to smartphones without breaking the bank. The press release is as below.
Since this is a new mobile platform, there are not many apps available, including WhatsApp, and it will take some time to develop the ecosystem. I don't expect, superlative performance from the device, considering its specifications, but if it works as well as a phone should work, that should still make it worth a buy. The most noteworthy thing about this smartphone is that it is highly affordable at just Rs 2230. With exclusive sales tie-ups becoming the norm of the day, this handset will become available soon only on Snapdeal.com for some time, before becoming available on other major retail outlets, Spice Hotspot stores, and Saholic.com.
This Firefox OS smartphone is powered completely by Web technologies and offers all that the users need - calls, messaging, email, camera and more. The 2G Dual SIM enabled Spice Fire One targeted towards the masses is well equipped with a 1 GHz processor, 2.5 G connectivity, 8.89 cm HVGA capacitive touch screen and 1.3MP primary camera + 0.3 MP front camera. It packs a strong 1400 mAh battery that lasts more than 6 hours. On the storage front, it has a memory slot that can be expanded upto 4 GB.
Spice Fire One has a very intuitive and beautiful interface especially for the first time smart phone user.
Based on the open web, the phone has unique features like Adaptive App Search or the Single Window Search, as we have termed it, allows users to find all relevant information and apps available on the web together at a single click. The Marketplace on this phone helps you find an app for almost anything you can think of on Firefox marketplace. This device also supports several Indian languages like Hindi, Tamil and Bangla.
This device also comes preloaded with great social networking and instant messaging apps just to connect with your friends and family like Facebook, Twitter and Connect A2.
