Android OS VS Firefox OS

Lets discuss something about both the operating systems and see how they are different from each other. First of all lets discuss about quality of Phones. The Firefox OS ZTE Mobile Device is itself of a low quality while any android is a bit better that Firefox ZTE Phone. We have similar type of screens in both the OS.


In the apps menu of Firefox OS there are circular icons while in android OS icons are in square form. Both OS have the drop Down Things From The Top. Both OS have the same bar with accessibility of quick icons like WLAN , GPS , Airplane Mode etc. Both OS have about to the same settings menu.
Lets Look at Firefox App Market And Android Play Store. As on Firefox App Market they don't have large market like Google Play but they have all apps like Facebook , Twitter , Sound-cloud etc. If we view same app on both the markets they have about to pretty similar format as well as UI.  Firefox OS have three buttons at the bottom (More/Multi-Task Button , Home , Back) While in ZTE Firefox OS Device they have only one button(Home) at the bottom-center like in iPhone.


Basically ZTE Firefox Device is following iPhone Approach so that they don't have many physical buttons. In ZTE Firefox Device you need SD Card other wise you will not be able to take photos , record videos ,and you can't download any apps. Even you can't open camera untill you don't have SD Card. You will not get the Memory card in the box as its in cheap price. Firefox OS do not have support for paid apps.
There are 3 current generation phones that run the Firefox mobile OS. You have the ZTE Open, LG Fireweb, and Alcatel One Touch Fire. All of these devices have 3.5 to 4.0 inch screens and 320 x 480 pixels for the resolution. Currently i will recommend that its not completely stable for use but you can buy the one for development purpose.
