Spice Fire One Mi – FX1: $38 Firefox OS phone from India


While Firfox OS phones haven’t particularly taken off, it looks like OEMs still see a lot of potential in the OS and are keen on churning out entry-level phones based on the same.

That’s what India’s Spice did today as well. The company launched the Spice Fire One Mi – FX1 entry-level Firefox OS phone in the country today, with a lightweight price tag of just NIR2,299 or $38. As you would expect, the device is fairly elementary like many other Firefox OS devices and is perhaps made with first-time smartphone users in mind.
