Alcatel on Wednesday launched its first Firefox OS smartphone in India, the OneTouch Fire C, priced at Rs. 1,990.
Notably, the Alcatel OneTouch Fire C, initially announce d at MWC, is the third Firefox OS smartphone launched in India in the span of 2 months - the other 2 are the Intex Cloud FXand Spice Fire One Mi-FX 1.
Considering the price tag of the Alcatel OneTouch Fire C, it is arguably India's cheapest smartphone - leaving behind Intex's Cloud FX ( Review| Pictures) that was launchedin August at Rs. 1,999.
Alcatel has announced that its Firefox OS smartphone will be available exclusively via Flipkart. Notably, the company had also launchedthe OneTouch Idol X+earlier this year via Flipkart.
Running FirefoxOS, the OneTouch Fire C comes preloaded with Marketplace, an app store for the platform. The Alcatel smartphone also supports 4 regional languages - Bangla, English, Hindi, and Tamil.
Much like the Intex Cloud FX and Spice Fire One Mi-FX 1, the OneTouch Fire C also comes with a 3.5-inch HVGA (320x480 pixel) display; 1GHz Spreadtrum 6821 processor, and a 1.3-megapixel rear camera (while no word in the front-facing camera). It supports dual-SIM (GSM+GSM); however, only 2G (EDGE) connectivity is available. The smartphone is backed by a 1000mAh battery.
Other specifications include 128MB of RAM and 256MB inbuilt storage that's expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB). The Alcatel OneTouch Fire C will be available in Blueish Black and Dark Chocolate colours.
Commenting on the launch, Praveen Valecha, Regional Director, APAC, Alcatel One Touch said, "As a launch partner for Firefox OS, we know that our customers love its simple user interface and smooth navigation. We see a great deal of opportunity to bring these benefits to more consumers on a greater variety of devices at most affordable price and we are sure of success as it's an innovative product selling on Flipkart, India's largest e-commerce platform."
