The operating system Firefox OS is programmed in HTML and works on the rather underpowered machine very fast. The page layout in Firefox browser shows no delays. The operating system is a virtual browser, the apps can handle.
Apps are available for the Firefox OS already some and there are constantly more. The major apps I've found for download, but not exotic. Very pleasant I find that the smartphone is not supplied fully charged with unnecessary apps. His apps So you can choose from the very beginning itself and does not need only clear the memory empty and unnecessary apps.
With a micro SD card the memory of the smartphone can be extended. A 32GB Sandisk card has also assumed the Alcatel OneTouch Fire E as a Intenso 16GB card. That one can not replace the battery, I do not find that bad. He'll keep his 2-3 years, I think.
The Wi-Fi reception is good. Only in very poorly served areas in the house acknowledged the appliance to send emails where the Samsung S3 still sent.
The display of the Alcatel shows everything clearly. Videos play smoothly. The sound is completely okay for a smartphone in this price range. One understands everything perfectly. In telephony, the voice is reproduced clearly and is understood the called very good. As for the radio link, so I've been using the Alcatel OneTouch Fire E on the same network, the same found dead spots such as the Samsung Galaxy S3. In comparison, I can not tell the difference. The touch screen mus something courageous be tapped, as the Samsung S3 but you get used to quickly. Text input via screen keyboard go quickly and reliably by hand.
Homemade Images and video are far from being at the level of a Samsung S3. Pictures are snapshots as quite ok but when the videos schwächselt smartphone. The image quality of the video is usable at best for the web.
The installed battery will last for two days at some gimmick to me. That is quite a good value. One can the battery also after one day empty by looking, for example, a lot of videos.
The side of the housing mounted Simkartenschacht also has a place for micro SD cards. The Bay you get to use the supplied pen tool. Thus, the cards do not fall out by itself. Good Solution.
The Alcatel OneTouch Fire E sees with his orange back wall of very young and will surely find its audience among youngsters. The workmanship is good in order and feel. The previously unknown operation systems of Alcatel OneTouch Fire E arouses curiosity and you are constantly caught up trying out and playing around. I find that Firefox OS already has succeeded and I'm curious to see how it will evolve in the coming months.
My Conclusion
The Alcatel OneTouch Fire E is a great smartphone for a very reasonable price. The operating system Firefox allows you to quickly browse the Internet and does not require much computing power. With the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, this smartphone is well equipped. For the successful Alcatel Onetouch Fire E I admit, also due to the very low price, four stars.
