Wireless carrier KDDI announced the Fx0 in conjunction with Mozilla just a few days before its Christmas Day launch date. The Fx0 is the first Firefox phone to support 4G LTE, sport a relatively fast Qualcomm processor, and feature an HD screen. While it’s certainly not the high-end monster phone Mozilla would have you believe, the Fx0 is the most powerful Firefox phone to date.
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 along with 1.5GB of RAM. Users will have 16GB of storage to fill up before popping in a MicroSDXC card into the phone for more space. An 8-megapixel back camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera round out the mid-range specs. The entire device gets its juice from a 2,370mAh battery.
Although a Firefox phone with mid-range specs is enough of a talking point already, the Fx0’s design is sure to turn some heads. The phone’s casing is completely transparent, giving you an unobstructed view of all the muted gold-brushed components. The circuitry, battery pack, and just about everything else is clearly visible. The result is a chic, mechanical device that looks like a fancy Swiss watch that lets you see its movement in action.
No price was mentioned, but if Mozilla sticks to its guns, 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 receive the phone on January 6, 2015.
