kn_andre Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) How low can the price of a smartphone go? As we've seen time and time again, no definitive answer can be given, but we're getting pretty close to the very bottom. A few days ago, we covered a deal that Mozilla Corp. made a deal with Chinese chip maker Spreadtrum to supply the chipsets for a phone that will cost a measly $25! You read that right, the subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation will charge you just $25 for a device that covers the basics of what we call a smartphone today. The folks over at Bloomberg managed to get some hands-on time with the device during MWC 2014, and we couldn't, in good conscience, let you miss out on this small miracle. In case you're curious, those $25 get you a 3.5-inch, 320x480 pixel resolution screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM Radio and a 2-megapixel camera. A new, 1GHz single-core Spreadtrum chip will be powering the Firefox OS-based device. As we argued not too long ago, an era of dirt-cheap smart devices may very soon be upon us, and so far it seems that Mozilla's Firefox OS will be leading the charge.

insanedown58 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Wow. If FFOS works smoothly on this device (assuming its available worldwide) then I would not hesitate to buy this one. I have almost the same device except it has a dual-core MediaTek chip and costs somewhere around $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
