Good alternative for beginners and purists, however, with improvements up

Compared to other smartphones, the Fire E very light (104 grams) and is quite narrow (129 x 63.5 x 8.2 mm). Because it could be, inter alia, that the existing plastic back is not removable. For the price, the workmanship is alright. Both the microSD card and the SIM card are placed on a slide. So if I do the memory card insertion I have to of course, the SIM card from the phone remove. The battery has a capacity of 1,700 mAh. The battery is not replaceable. Therefore: If I leave that part 3 mini run constantly at my Galaxy and the battery to shoot down after months or years, the rechargeable battery is replaceable. Here is not the case. However: If you have a smartphone in this day and age years? But he holds during charging about one to four days, depending on the strain.

Altogether there are only - with this one - five smartphones that run on the operating system Firefox OS Mozilla. So far, the system has not yet been enforced because there were some teething problems.

That could change now. The time for an alternative system is long overdue. Firefox OS, here in the 1.3 version, suitable for entry-level smartphones, as it is but rather designed for weak hardware, which in turn is reflected in the price of smart phones. The new Fire E Alcatel is quite powerful for Firefox OS conditions. It features a dual-core processor with 1.2 GHz. For the system and apps the 512 MB Arbeits¬speicher have to do. Therefore, the game suffers a bit, but there are not many suitable games for this. The internal memory is 4 GB and can be expanded to 32 GB.

Also not many apps are included. And there are not so many in-house apps like the competition. The installation of the Flash Player from Adobe is not possible. The App-operation is similar to iOS. Beginners are likely to get along well with the phone.

FM radio can be received. There are also pre-installed music and video player. Headphones are provided for listening. The resolution of the 4.5-inch touch screen is 540x960 pixels.
Internet Capable the Fire E is of course. But rather than IE, it naturally uses Firefox, or the smartphone variant thereof that no longer recalls his Internet model. Upon request, I learned that the device is web content with the so-called Gecko engine. Critics are concerned that it makes it slow because there are some problems in laptops. However, the opposite is the case with the Fire-E. It's fast. The internet connection is almost instantaneous, as with her little memory is needed. However, the mobile phone needed for a cold start some time.

The keyboard layout is a bit different than I know. It also does not always immediately taken every Anklicker. Both display image quality and photo quality (resolution 5 megapixel camera and 0.3 megapixel for self-portraits or video telephony) is for beginners in order. By 4x digital zoom while shooting, the image quality but decreases accordingly. The video resolution is quite low (352 x 288 pixels). All in all this is enough for the social networks and Selfies out however.

Big plus is at this smartphone also the Privacy thought. Since Firefox OS less personal data requested is not as transparent as other vendors.
