Mozilla has broken the smartphone
price barrier with a prototype for a $25
(£15) (Rs.1500) device aimed at the
developing world. The world’s cheapest
smartphone: $25 Firefox OS device with
3.5” screen and HTML5 apps. The
smartphone is expected to feature up to
a 3.5-inch touchscreen with a
resolution of 320 x 480 pixels (by the
way, this is the exact size and
resolution that the iPhone 3GS had),
integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM Radio
and a camera function. It will also
support a traditional phone and browser
apps that come with Firefox OS, and will
have access to an ecosystem of web
and HTML5 apps. The reference design
also includes a basic, 2-megapixel rear
camera.
