Spice Fire One Mi – FX 1 is India’s first Firefox OS based smartphone launched by spice at a whooping low price of Rs. 2,299 with amazing specifications at such a low price, with that price we can get either cheap android smartphones or some good featured phones, but now Spice made a change in choosing the smartphone rather than featured phones, and Spice deliberately launched this in India to target the people who are thinking to shift from featured phones to smartphones.
Fire One Mi-FX will be available at Snapdeal.com soon, and Spice is going to conduct a press meet/event on August 29th where it will officially reveal the Spice Fire One MI- India’s first Firefox smartphone
