Japan’s KDDI Fx0 is a solid, mid-range Firefox smartphone, and this is Japan’s first Firefox phone with a really decent hardware, and it’s quite rare to find a Firefox phone with decent specs these days. The Fx0 is the first Firefox phone to support 4G LTE, sport a relatively fast Qualcomm processor, and feature an HD screen, and as you can see, its clear case (crafted by designer Yoshioka Tokujin) doesn’t leave much to the imagination – this phone is transparently gorgeous. While it’s certainly not the high-end monster phone you’d want it to be, it is the most powerful Firefox phone to date.
It’s also the first device running Mozilla’s mobile platform to include LTE and NFC. And as I said earlier, it packs some decent hardware… unlike most Firefox OS phones. Now, let’s take about its hardware – The Fx0 comes with a 4.7-inch IPS HD screen, and is powered by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of storage with a MicroSDXC card for more space, an 8-megapixel back camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, and it’s powered by a 2,370mAh battery.
No price was mentioned, but I bet guess is, the Fx0 should be a relatively affordable device when it arrives in the carrier’s online shop on December 25. Other shops and retailers will hopefully receive the phone on January 6, 2015.
