It's strange to me that people would build a budget phone OS on top of web technologies - after all, web-based desktop software can grind full-fat tower PC to a halt.
I can't imagine it working out for low-end mobile hardware.
- littlestymaar 4y agoFirefox OS was arguably bad (especially when they redesigned everything, breaking half of the features I used in the process) but it was surprisingly snappy given how underpowered the hardware was: I actually had two phones running Firefox OS, the GeeksPhone which ended up broken after a year and a 15 meters fight in a staircase, and then the Motorola one, both with very limited hardware and yet it never felt slow. My experience with Android always felt sluggish since then (given that I never buy expensive phones).
