Firefox Phones in India: Mozilla to Launch $50 Phones in India

Mozilla launched its Firefox phones in Europe last year. These Firefox phones were launched with 2 different carriers and they were not able to make a huge impact as Mozilla managed to sale only few million smartphones up till now. The performance of these phones have not been too great and this has caused some serious tension among the Firefox developers.

However, this time around they are targeting the Indian market and we will soon see Firefox phones in India. According to the reports, Firefox phones in India will be priced around $50 price tag and to achieve this highly competitive price Mozilla has completed a deal with cheap entry level chipset manufacturer Spreadtrum Communications. This time around 20 carriers and 10 different hardware companies are supporting Mozilla to launch its Firefox phones in India. So, one can expect something good is coming for the company.

Mozilla has very high hopes from Firefox phones in India and the company believe that its highly competitive price along with the specifications will help in setting new landmarks for the company. Company has set a goal of selling 10 million Firefox phones in India by the end of next year. Apart from this, Mozilla is also looking forward to use its operating system in tablets as well.  So, you might  see a new Firefox tablet as well. Since, most of the people have issues with Android OS ecosystem because it is poorly optimized for tablets. So, may be Mozilla can cash in on this. However, it is too early to say this.
