Firefox OS demo on ZTE smartphone
The Mozilla Foundation has published a demo video showing the operation of the mobile operating system Firefox OS on an engineering sample produced by ZTE, the second largest manufacturer of telecommunications equipment in China.
The video shows the work of the “phone” capabilities of the device, work with the contact list, work with the camera, Firefox browser, and install and launch the game from the Firefox Marketplace. Subjectively, it is impossible to say that the system interface responds instantly (this is clearly noticeable when scrolling through images in the gallery of pictures; there are also no various effects that are present in Android, iOS or Windows Phone). In this sense, the creators of the system emphasize that the video is one of the prototypes of the system, which, moreover, according to the fund’s plan, must be installed on really cheap devices in order to be able to press the main competitor, Android, from the market.
Here, it would be appropriate to note a curious blog entry from Quentin Hardy, one of the New York Times reviewers, who literally notes the following:

implying that a lightweight system that allows the creation of programs on popular HTML5 + JS + CSS, being installed on cheap electronics, is fully capable of satisfying the unassuming needs of residents of third world countries, thus displacing expensive smartphones from the giants of the mobile market.

Popular smartphones for developing countries can be produced by Mozilla, but not by Google or Apple.
