KDDi Introduced FX0 Firefox OS Smartphone In Japan
Japanese mobile operator KDDI, has introduced the country's first Firefox OS smartphone called the Fx0, manufactured by LG. The Fx0 runs on the Firefox operating system and comes with a transparent case designed by Yoshioka Tokujin.
The Fx0 is not the type of smartphone that you get to see too often, though its design will certainly not appeal to everyone. If you're among those who want to take a better look at the LG Fx0, check out the hands-on video embedded below. The video also provides a quick look at Firefox OS 2.0.
The designer of the Fx0 made its shell transparent in order to emphasize Mozilla's commitment to openness. The smartphone itself is not a high-end one, although it offers the most advanced specs of any Firefox handset to date, including: a 4.7-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, LTE connectivity, 8 MP rear camera, quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1.5 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of expandable storage space.
The Fx0 won't be sold outside Japan (where it costs about $410), though maybe LG wants to launch similar handsets in other parts of the world. We'll let you know if we hear more about this.
