What can you get for $4 or Rs 251 these days? Maybe one or two GB of 3G data, a meal from your favourite café, 2 movie tickets or maybe 4 liter petrol.
Well these are the first things that come to our mind if given a budget of Rs 251. After all it is not a lot of money for the common man these days.
An Indian company is about to launch what is most certainly the world’s cheapest smartphone. The Freedom 251 from Noida-based Ringing Bells, costs, yes, Rs. 251, and will be available to buy on the company’s website from 6am on February 18 and close at 8pm on February 21.
Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd. is a smartphone company in India which has launched smartphones under the brand name ‘BELL’. They have launched inexpensive smartphones which satiate the needs of a customer looking for mid-range smartphones. They currently have Smart 101, Master and 4u in their portfolio along with a Kiwi portable 5600mAh power bank.
The Freedom 251 runs the recent Android Lollipop 5.1 OS which will run most of the apps and looks much better than Kitkat with the help of a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor.
It supports 3G for lightning-fast web browsing. It will have a 4-inch screen that is quite common for sub-Rs 5,000 phones. It even has a 1GB RAM that can easily run WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter with some more space to spare for more apps.
The phone has 8GB internal memory which can be expanded to 32GB with a micro SD card. Sadly, microSD card will cost you more than the phone.

You even get a camera. On both sides. 3.2 megapixel on the back and 0.3 megapixel the front. The phone has the 1,450 mAh battery which won’t last you all day but no one can complain considering the price.
The Freedom 251 will be officially unveiled in New Delhi and the event will be attended by Murli Manohar Joshi, MP, with the Union defence minister Manohar Parrikar as the chief guest on Wednesday, according to a report.
The phone will have some apps pre-installed to make it more useful to the women, farmers, fishermen and everyone in general. Women Safety, Swachh Bharat, Fisherman, Farmer, Medical, Google Play, WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube are some of the apps to be installed out of the box.
By the way you also get a 1-year warranty on the phone backed by their 650 service centers across the country.
