ZTE Open is the first Firefox OS running smartphone from the company that will be officially unveiled by the company in the Mobile World Congress this year. Earlier GeeksPhone Peak and Keon were spotted running the same OS. But the specs of ZTE Open is horrible if you consider the specs with any budget Android smartphone. It runs age old Qualcomm MSM7225A S1 SoC, 256 MB RAM combination. We used to see this type of hardware couple of years ago. But now no one would be interested in this hardware as this slows down performance in high-end droids. Don’t imagine Android 4.1 JellyBean or higher versions will run on this platform. Anyway, it sports 3.5 inch HVGA display, 3.2 MP fixed focus camera alogn with all necessary connectivity modules like Bluetooth v2.1, Wi-Fi, micro USB etc. FM Radio is there along with GPS navigation in ZTE Open. Internal storage is 512 MB. Possibly, there will be micro SD card slot. Li-Ion 1200 mAh battery is used as power source to this device.
Well, ZTE Open comes with minimum hardware. None of these can impress you by any specs. But I guess the OS is so powerful that it runs on this dead platform without any lag. It’s difficult to state anything so early but the idea might be lying there. Both Mozilla and ZTE wants to show the world that the OS can run fluently with this hardware whereas Android needs power house for optimal performance. Let’s hope it succeeds!
