The totaling phones will therefore be "compatible once three major on the go systems: Firefox, Windows, and Android", according to the ascribed press forgive.
Unfortunately even if, what Alcatel means by that isn't subsidiary explained. Since these are going to be affordable offerings, we obtain however pretend to have board we'just roughly more likely to expose each size have three versions - one for each of the abovementioned operational systems.
