No, it isn't. The price is standard, or even high, for the hardware it has. And the hardware is pretty crap (hence why the performance was also crap).
All phones have equal HTML5 capabilities, the difference is what you can do while getting good performance. And the answer to that on the ZTE Open was "not a damn thing", because it never had good performance.
- diafygi 13y agoAgreed that the hardware was on par or slightly lower than other $80 smartphones. However, phones with that hardware can only run Android 2.3, which severely limits your html5 capabilities. The presentation I linked above was comparing the svg performance between Firefox OS and Android.
- msh 13y agoThe Sony e1 is the same hardware and runs 4.3
- diafygi 13y agoAre you talking about the Sony Xperia E1? Comparing to the two[1], it has twice the RAM and more+faster cores than the ZTE Open. Also, isn't it like $169 or something?

- kllrnohj 13y agoOpera and Firefox both support Android 2.3. So no, your HTML5 capabilities are not limited. You also aren't limited to Android 2.3 in $80 phones anyway. Most of the cheap, Chinese imports come with newer versions of Android anyway.
