hey everybody Michael Fisher with pocket now still here at ZTE at mwc 2013 we're checking out the ZTE open running the brand new firefox OS unique so the ZTE open is not a flagship class smartphone as you may know the Firefox OS is designed for emerging markets and the specs reflect that this is a 3.2 megapixel camera the battery is only 1200 milliamp hours the onboard memory is 512 megabytes and it's 256 megs of ram backing up the Firefox OS here so it's not intended to be a blockbuster it's intended for markets that are not entirely mature so just a quick OS overview this is a home screen it is kind of a mash-up of like me go iOS Android there's a lot of concepts kind of coming together here but it's not an unendurable experience swiping down from the top brings down a sort of a familiar notification shade here we have Bluetooth and wireless toggles and a quick quick time to settings as well as a handy meter that presumably shows you where you are in your data allotment for the model here's where your notifications will live and you can clear them all if we had we can clear them and we are going to slide our notifications out of the way this is the dock and presumably you can swap these out but this Scrolls from left to right swiping to the right or to the left gets you to your Applications drawer and you can see some familiar titles in here we have tripadvisor and Firefox and Twitter and so forth we'll see what one of those looks like at the end this is a pretty deep app drawer but if we come back to the home screen and you swipe in the other direction you come to a universal search not unlike the webos just search functionality the blackberry search or any other search really and you can start typing the name of an application or a recently visited page and of course you pops up there for you keyboard is not the easiest to type on the autocorrect doesn't seem terribly friendly at first but this is a very very young OS we're not going to judge it too harshly on anything at this point it once again just a just a very very quick look and we'll see if we can hop into one of these third-party apps I doubt our internet connection is going to yeah Facebook's not loading for other we have some connection difficulties here so don't really expect these to work terribly well but as we say brand new OS not meant to be blowing heads off with specs here just a very quick look the ZTE open running the new firefox OS i'm michael fisher with pocket now thanks for watching stay tuned for a lot more from mwc from me and from Tony behind the camera thanks for watching
