In today's media
, bell ringing has spread far and wide with information about the previously unknown Indian company
Ringing Bells and their project of the
Freedom 251 smartphone. The first, if not the only, distinctive feature of this device is its cost - exactly 251 rupees, which at the current rate will be less than $ 4 or
286 rubles .
Specifications include a 4 "screen with a resolution of 960 × 540, a 1.3 GHz Quadcore processor, a gigabyte of memory and an 8 GB drive. There is also support for microSD cards up to 32 GB. The battery capacity is 1,450 mAh. The phone is preinstalled with Android 5.1 Lollipop. The main camera has 3.2 MP, and the front one has 0.3 MP. The collection of pre-orders for smartphones will begin on February 18.

Journalists did not fail to notice an interesting fact - in a newspaper advertisement the image of a smartphone does not at all coincide with what is presented on the site. Newspaper photo looks more like another product of the company - also an inexpensive
smart101 smartphone costing about $ 45.
When the resource
Gadgets360 managed to get a copy of the phone Freedom 251 and it turned out that newspaper advertising still more accurately reflects reality, and on the site, oddly enough, the wrong image of the smartphone was used.

So far, few people believe that an unknown company will be able to produce a decent and efficient machine at such a low price, despite the fact that Ringing Bells
talks about subsidies from the Indian government.

The company promises to begin the first shipments of finished phones in June 2016. The phone site mentions a year of warranty and the presence of 650 repair shops in India that can repair this phone - although with such a cost of the device, its repair becomes almost meaningless. For example, for the
cost of one iPhone 6 Plus 16Gb, you can buy 157 Freedom 251 phones.
