Geeksphone Revolution dual-boot Android and Firefox OS smartphone now on sale for €222

If you’ve ever wanted a smartphone that could run both Android and Firefox OS, you’re in luck. Geeksphone is now accepting orders for the Revolution, the first commercial handset to do just that.

Geeksphone is a Spanish startup best known for the Keon and Peak, a pair of low-end, developer-focused Firefox OS smartphones that launched ahead of commercial handsets by ZTE and Alcatel.

The Revolution replaces the Peak+, another Firefox OS handset that Geeksphone was building, with a 4.7-inch IPS qHD display, a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of onboard storage, backed up by a microSD card slot for up to 32GB of extra space.

The device is powered by a 2,000 mAh battery and boasts an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, alongside a 1.3-megapixel variant on the front. It’s available on the Geeksphone site for €222.31 and worldwide shipping is available.

It’s unclear whether there’s a market for a dual-OS smartphone running both Android and Firefox OS. The Revolution is a unique device though and should appeal to developers, modders and gadget fans who are keen to try Mozilla’s mobile OS on a slightly more powerful handset.
