Really sad, the only smartphone that was able to boot within 5 seconds. Everyone else forgot that these are phones first and everything else second.

My Note 5 boots in 6.5 seconds. Mozilla was doomed to fail just like Ubuntu. Niche at best.

@Ethrem - Although, that's not exactly a phone in my book (if you can't use it freely with one hand it's not a phone for me), I guess one can find scaled down version, or even the same hardware in other models, so similar boot times. BUT when I said "within 5 seconds" I meant less than that and on constant manner, not a single occasion, and recent OSes tend to get slower once loaded with stuff, which wouldn't have been the case with FFOS, because of the way it works.

With that said, I don't mind two handed phones. I mean my last phone was the Nexus 6 lol. I can't go back to small phones.
I just wish that the Exynos didn't hit 80C! Crazy for an SoC!
But yeah, FFOS was doomed from the start. I can't believe they even tried. Samsung can't even get Tizen out there and they have the largest Android share! -
So sorry to hear this...
