<span style="font-size: small;">Mozilla's sub-$50 <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">Firefox</a> OS smartphones are aimed at countries like India and Indonesia,
 where devices costing hundreds of dollars are out of reach of hundreds 
of millions of people. The idea is to bring a smartphone running a 
free/open operating system that is optimized for Internet access to 
people who have no net <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">connection</a> at all today.

The phones are slow and only have a few apps, but they're infinitely 
more useful than a candybar-shaped "feature phone," and with their low <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">
pricetag</a>, many people will be able to buy them outright, rather than 
being beholden to phone companies who subsidize handset purchases 
through long-term, abusive contracts; and they'll get online using 
devices that don't lock them into a single company's ecosystem for 
email, messaging, and apps. </span><br />

certainly isn't a household name in the US, but Mozilla is less 
concerned with brand recognition than it is with delivering an 
ultra-cheap handset. The two companies have announced a new partnership 
that will see Spreadtrum building reference designs for Firefox OS
 phones with a target price of $25. (And no, we're not missing a zero 
there.) The heart of the effort is the SC6821, a <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/mozillas-25-firefox-smartphone-with.html" target="_blank">Cortex</a> A5-based chipset
 that supports WCDMA and EDGE networks, but not LTE.
 The platform includes WiFi, Bluetooth, cameras and FM radio, though 
touchscreen support appears to top out at 3.5-inch HVGA panels. The lack
 of 4G <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/mozillas-25-firefox-smartphone-with.html" target="_blank">connectivity</a>, older CPU design and low screen resolutions clearly
 mark this as a low-end initiative, but its one that will give it a 
major leg up in emerging markets like India where feature phones still 
rule supreme.<span id="goog_1517114231"></span><span id="goog_1517114232"></span><br />
