    The Alcatel One Touch Fire was one of the first smartphones preinstalled with Firefox OS, a discontinued open-source mobile operating system developed by Mozilla.[1]

    The phone was developed and marketed by Alcatel Mobile Phones as a lower-cost, entry-level smartphone for specific Latin American and European countries: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela in Latin America; and Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, Poland, and Serbia in Europe.[2] Mobile network operators who have carried the phone include Congstar (Germany), Cosmote (Greece), Movistar (Chile, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela), T-Mobile (Hungary, Montenegro, Macedonia), Telcel (Mexico), Telenor (Serbia and Montenegro), Telecom Italia Mobile (Italy), and Vivo (Brazil).

    The One Touch Fire is a variation of an earlier, Android-based smartphone, the Alcatel One Touch T'Pop. Unlike the One Touch Fire, the One Touch T'Pop uses an ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and a PowerVR SGX531 GPU; it also incorporates "home" and "back" push-buttons, distinct cosmetics, and other differences.[3] The One Touch Fire is sold in three color schemes: Mozilla Orange, Apple Green, and Pure White.[4]

    There are two model numbers for the One Touch Fire: 4012A and 4012X, which support different cellular network standards and frequency bands for different countries. The 4012A has a quadband GSM radio that can communicate at 850, 900, 1800, or 1900 MHz; and a UMTS radio capable of 850, 1900, and 2100 MHz communication. The 4012X has only a UMTS radio that communicates at 900 or 2100 MHz. Consequently, the 4012X has a lower specific absorption rate.[5]

    The 4012A and 4012X are succeeded by the One Touch Fire C, One Touch Fire E, and One Touch Fire S.
