FireFox OS Starts to Show Up on Developer Phones

Mozilla on Tuesday announced a new partnership with GeeksPhone to produce a pair of developer devices running the HTML5-based Firefox OS. The first device called the Keon is equipped with a 3.5-inch HVGA display, 1GHz single-core Snapdragon S1 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a micro SD slot and a 3-megapixel rear camera.

The second device on the lineup is the Peak which has slightly better specs, although; it will still be considered a low-end device by today’s standards. The smartphone features a 4.3-inch qHD display, a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and an 8-megapixel rear camera.

As BGR says, both are low-end smartphones that fall in line with the company’s plans to attack emerging and prepaid markets.  Pricing information was not disclosed, however Mozilla said the first developer devices are expected to launch in February.
