alcatel One Touch Fire - User Reviews

  • The OS developed by mozilla for these phones is very stable and fast, making this phone a very good option in its price range.

  • Does this phone support KaiOS?

  • what can I do to able to use selfiestick to alcatel onetouchOS

  • Just using it can't say much

  • Just using it can't say much

  • whatsapp not working under Firefox OS

  • use "connection" is a good app

  • I also need whatsup why this smart phone doesn't has whatsup?

  • I also need whatsup why this smart phone doesn't has whatsup?

  • please... i needs WHATSAPP!!!!!!

  • how i will see the simcard saved messages

  • Whatsapp Supporting in Openwapp

  • Very poor phone. Whatapp is not working with ConnectA2. Battery backup is very low. Continuous hanging the software.

  • Does it support wts app

  • does it support whatsapp???

  • In november 2013 my sons made me a present - alcatel onetouch fire because I am a friend of open source. The version is 1.1.0.0. It is no possibility to set up about my telefon number. I call everybody as "unknouwn" or "anonym". I have many problems with my bussines partners. I give back this smartphone and wish a new one.

  • this device has lihattv.com playable live tv?

  • no match for oppo find 7 even if its a chinese phone it works great

  • Currently you can upgrade to any version you wish (i.e. I use 1.4). The only thing is that you have to either build it by yourself or get images with the system from a friend. In the really near future (about 1.3 or 1.4 version release date) it will be possible to use FOTA update mechanism to get updates directly from Mozilla bypassing mobile operator and phone manufacturer.

  • Great cell phone with new technology for such amazing price worth the try!

  • yes its possible

  • Is it possible to upgrade to OS v1.3?

  • I have 1.1 version of OS and I cant change ringtone with a mp3 song...stupid :)

  • A great phone responsive great handling on touchscreen and very fast growing os updates and apps

  • The ringtone can change in 1.3 version

  • do u know how to change ringtone with a song?

  • I bought it 2 days ago. It is surprisingly responsive for it's hardware. The inet browsing experience is superb compared to low specced android phones. In a phrase, I think firefox os will kill android in low specced phones. And I believe this is the target audience mozilla is going for. Low specced devices, which run horribly on android (and by definition, there are NO low specced iphones).

  • A great start..... hope I get a chance to lay my hand on it...

  • ~40 euro with delivery (used, only phone)

  • How much did you pay forvthe phone? I want to try the phone and OS too.

  • For those who are wondering for Whatsapp, Loqui IM will support it starting on November 28. There's also other apps for Whatsapp: Connecta2 and Wassap

  • Hi Kamill, I just bought this one with Firefox OS and it works quite well, it has 256 of RAM memory and internal storage memory of 157MB aprox. (not really enought for a lot of apps). The thing is you can expand the storage up to 32GB with a microSD memory. Hope this information helps you to take a good decision. Firefox OS is very optimized and has great stuff. Cheers.

  • any owner: Does it has enough internal memory? I own a $%#"%# galaxy Y and it really sucks 'cause it just has 256MB of internal memory, and it doesn't let me install and update apps...i would thank to anyone that could tell me somethin' about this phone

  • I have been using this phone for a month. Firefox itself is a very nice OS - simplified and intuitive. Ideal for kid or old man. I experienced some minor bugs or crashes. However, it's rather normal as Firefox OS is still in development. But apart from that system runs slowly, reacts with a delay, freezes during listening to music etc., but I guess it's on the side of phone, not OS. Last week my LCD screen stopped working. No reason. Phone is being serviced. It means that quality of phone parts is very poor. The only good thing is a battery - belive me or not, it lasts for 2-3 days of normal ussage. Perhaps Firefox OS is not using much energy? I do not regret buying One Touch Fire. I had lot of fun testing Firefox OS and I hope to see it on more devices in the nearest future.

  • Hi Pategato! Could you write about how after prolonged use this phone? Thanks.

  • Quite expensive though at 180 dollar.

  • It's nice to know from someone who owns it. Can you tell if it lags, and also about the battery performance? what is the app scenario in real life?

  • You can find some on eBay:

  • I wanna buy this phone, though I can't find it anywhere.

  • nooooooooooooo go work

  • can you buy one for me and send it to me?

  • I live in Colombia, and this phone was released this week. I bought it today. This are only my initial impressions. I've owned smartphones before, Iphone 4, LG Optimus, Blackberry curve 8330, Nokia 5233, and I can honestly say, that this phone is up there with the best, Firefox OS is a very simple yet very capable OS, the speed is good, very responsive touchscreen, and the Movistar 3G network is very good too. For those asking if there's Whatsapp for Firefox OS, the answer is not yet.

  • The OS is supposed to be very lightweight, but I want to use one to see if it can really work smoothly on that hardware. I hope it takes off, since I love Mozilla products.

  • I hope gsmarena will review this phone. I like to now how the OS is. Just curious, so please review this device.

  • do you know about firefox os 160mb internal memory is good for firefox because this os is light weight than other os.And we can use apps and games without install it so 160mb internal memory is enough for this phone..firefox rocks..!

  • i dont mind with 256mb ram or 1ghz single core cpu, what i want is bigger screen between 4.3 - 4.7 inch with compact design like xperia ZL with 720p resolution. p/s to achieve this, mozilla need higher ram atleast 512mb and gpu atleast adreno 305. that mean company such as qualcomm should introduce s4 200 with single core cpu with adreno 305

  • Are there apps like what's app and viber Is there a market place like play store

  • Firefox OS is good one.... but thing is.... I want big ram....big internal memory... and qwerty keypad wed optical navigation...

  • At least specification wise bettre than nokia asha 1.0.but exact difference can be given when i will use it.but thats not all some more features like size 105-110X62X9-10mm,internal memory al least 500 mb,and more capable 2000mah battery would make it much more attractive and better.i cant say about softwares until i use this os but certainly its a fourth choice after windows,iphone and android in d market.best of luck mozilla.

  • this phone actual purpose is browsing media social, quadcore phone is waste of resources when u can open fb, what apps and twitter with just 50mb ram with 500mhz phone

  • LOL

  • I think Windows Phone is a dead end. There should be phones with regular Windows and Intel Atom processors.

  • Its iPhone 3gs! in the year of 2013

  • Windows phone is the OS to look for. iOS, android, firefox all look the same. Borrrrrinnggg. Well this phone is a 'very' low end device. 256mb RAM, pathetic screen resolution, very low internal memory.

  • Also, I believe if developers make applications that run nicely on this phone, they will run very smoothly on the higher end versions they may be planning later

  • It's not good for FireFox OS to start go to big market with this "flagship".

  • Yeah, but at that time, the Dream's specs were almost high-end, while this One Touch is featuring like last years low-end specs...

  • jeeze firefox and Alcatel. Don't go all out on the hardware.

  • That's not right. Mozilla is targeting devoping markets where an iPhone would be outragously expensive for most people. They want to make the phones cheap which means low-end hardware (Although in my opinion 1ghz is a good processor for a phone) The phone will ship first to South America then Europe.

  • Hahaha

  • guys remember t mobile G1/htc dream the worrlds first android phone this is kind of firefoxs first phone that is why they are starting with low end

  • When it will be available in India? This is a quite good-looking and good-specced phone. Oh, and it's Firefox OS. I would definitely like to own this one.

  • this is Alcatel.....

  • I wish it could have a bigger screen then i'll buy it..

  • os with a symbian-android touch....still hard to beat ios and android.....

  • I have tried the simulator of Firefox OS on my Firefox Aurora browser and I'm quite impressed by its interface and simplicity.

  • Looks preety much like iPhone :(( I hate iPhone Galaxy S4 rulzz!!!!

  • this phone is quite lame.. i mean there's no mutlitouch scree , no front camera ... i don't know HTC should do a better job..

  • iOS VS Android VS Windows I think that Firefox OS will be in this competion but it will take some time

  • is firefox os a nice os like android or ios?

  • iOS? sriously? not at all ... plus it has nothing to do with meego

  • no,its ios with meeGo icons.

  • d0nt be too much judgemental. almost all OS start wth this kind of specs or maybe lower!! if you want 8gb or higher go 4 android..

  • wtf 180MB internal? its just too small for a good phone. Lemme think if you worth buying for

  • android with symbian belle icons .
