The wallet-friendly ZTE Open II (pictures)

ZTE's Open II Firefox phone

BARCELONA, Spain -- Mozilla Firefox has its eyes strategically set on low-end, affordable smartphones, and ZTE's tiny Open II is exactly just that.

Smooth, curved shape

The Open II is super compact and has a smooth, almost pebble-like construction.

No front-facing shooter

Don't expect much photo power here: users will only get a 2-megapixel camera and nothing else.

A minimalistic look

Its wide bezels give it a notably deep chin, which is accented by a single, circular home button.

Firefox OS 1.3 running inside

The Open II will run on 3G networks and ship with the latest Firefox OS 1.3.

Some borrowed elements

The phone's aesthetic reminds me of a more playful the Grand S, ZTE's flagship handset last year. Obviously the latter has a more sophisticated, austere look, but their matte plastic bodies and rear-facing cameras look vaguely similar.

Just enough to get by

It features a 3.5-inch HVGA display with a 480x320-pixel resolution. Needless to say, it isn't the crispiest touch screen we've seen, even for a low-budget handset, nor is it the most sensitive.

REVIEW

Meet the drop-resistant Moto Z2 Force

The Moto Z2 Force is really thin, with a fast processor and great battery life. It can survive drops without shattering.
