This
is an interesting one. Mozilla’s choice of ZTE for its first Firefox OS
phone is curious, to say the least. The open source foundation is
banking on ZTE’s mastery of the low-end market to deliver its first
device. As such, the Open is a largely-low-end device with specs that
will make Android crawl if it ran on top. However, Firefox is built for
emerging markets and the OS can run smoothly on the ZTE Open’s hardware.
The ZTE Open is powered by a Cortex A5 processor clocked at 1GHz and
has 256MB of RAM.
