ZTE Open - Firefox OS Phone Now Available In India For Rs. 6,990
Online marketplace eBay India has announced that it will
offer the ZTE Open, the first Firefox OS based smartphone, in India through its
website. While the official statement from the company mentions the pricing as
Rs. 8,590, the phone is available for Rs. 6,990 on the site with free shipping.
It's worth pointing out that ZTE had earlier announced that it would start
selling the ZTE Open Firefox OS phone on the ZTE store on eBay US and UK in a
bid to extend its reach to mainstream markets. However, India was not in the
list, at that point in time. It's also strange that the ZTE Open Firefox OS
phone is not being sold by ZTE or eBay and instead by a Punjab-based seller
'randeep_singh_arora'.
The phone comes with one-year
third party warranty through a company called Serve Pro. eBay has not put up a
special page dedicated to the product but is promoting the phone on social
networks like Twitter through contests. ZTE had first showcased the ZTE Open
during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013. The ZTE Open features a 3.5-inch
screen with HVGA display. The smartphones is powered by a Cortex A5 processor,
which is clocked at 1GHz. It has 256MB of RAM, and 512MB of internal storage
enhanced with a 4GB microSD card that comes as part of the package. It sports a
3.2-megapixel rear camera. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, A-GPS and
Wi-Fi capabilities. The ZTE Open packs in a 1,200mAh battery.
The ZTE Open offers all the
functions expected from a smartphone including calls, messaging, email, camera
in addition to built-in social integration with Facebook and Twitter,
location-based services like Nokia HERE maps which include local transit and
traffic information and features like the Firefox Web browser and the Firefox
Marketplace. Applications already available on the Firefox Marketplace include
eBay, Badoo, Terra, Kayak, The Weather Channel, TMZ,AOL, Wikipedia, CNNMoney,
Huffington Post, Time, Facebook, Airbnb, Time Out, Twitter and SoundCloud.
