featuring a transparent shell, a home button decorated with
the golden Firefox logo and Firefox OS.
The LG Fx0 was designed by noted Japanese designer
Tokujin Yoshioka, who has previously worked on LG G3’s
design. The transparent LG Fx0 shows the internal
components of the handset. It has a 4.7-inch display screen
and is powered with a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor.
The smartphone has 1.5GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal
storage expandable via microSD card slots. It is backed by a
2,370mAh of battery and runs Firefox 2.0 OS.
The LG Fx0 will be available only in Gold variant and will be
offered exclusively by KDDI in Japan. The smartphone has
been priced at 50,000 yen or Rs 26,350 approximately. A
limited sale for the device will start on December 25, and the
phone will be widely available from January 6 in Japan.
However it is unclear whether the Fx0 will be launched in any
other markets as well.
Takashi Tanaka, President of KDDI stated at the launch,
“We are very pleased to bring the first Firefox OS
smartphone, based on Web technology standards, to the
Japanese market today. KDDI hopes to build the new era of
the Web through Web of Things, enabling everyone to
create custom connected Web experiences.”
Mozilla is hoping that the LG Fx0 will give it a significant
boost. The Fx0 has been priced at an attractive price point to
compete with the market giants like Google's Android and
Apple iOS.
