A week ago that Firefox announced its partnership with Spice and Intex to launch a range of Firefox OS-powered entry-level smartphones in India. Well, now Intex has announced that it will soon be launching a phone dubbed the Cloud FX which will be powered by Mozilla’s budding OS and ecosystem of apps; and will cost a tad bit below Rs. 2000.
The Cloud FX will come with the standard phone apps that resemble the Firefox OS and will be powered by a 1GHz Spreadtrum processor to keep costs under control. The display will be a 3.5 inch one and the handset will even include a 2 MP rear camera (which is pretty much unbelievable at the price). Also included would be Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and dual SIM support.
Sanjay Kumar Kalirona, Business Head, Mobile, Intex Technologies (India) Ltd, commented, “Intex’s association with Mozilla Firefox is a step towards our brand’s promise to offer quality products to our consumers to improve their lives and set industry benchmarks. Intex Cloud FX is aimed at fulfilling the idea of – ‘Smartphone for all’ which will be priced below Rs. 2,000. This smartphones will be equipped with enhanced phone and browser features of Firefox OS with an access to a rich ecosystem of latest web applications improving users overall smartphone experience at affordable prices.”
The Intex Cloud FX will launch in the first week of August and will be the first smartphone in India to be powered by Mozilla’s all-new Firefox OS.
