India's $4 USD Smartphone Is Actually Real
The first batch will start shipping June 30.
News of Ringing Bells‘ $4 USD smartphone was initially met by countless skeptics who accused the India-based company of running a huge scam. However, if recent reports are to be believed, the ultra low-cost Freedom 251 is actually a real product, and will be shipping its first order of almost 200,000 units starting June 30. Judging by the price, you can already anticipate a relatively modest gadget but it’s still a smartphone nonetheless. Some of the features include a 4-inch 960×540-pixel resolution screen, a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, 1 GB of memory, an 8-megapixel rear camera to go along with a 3.2 megapixel front camera, and an Android 5.1 operating system. The company’s CEO has admitted that the company is taking a loss on every phone as of now, but it will hopefully make up for it with the massive volumes they hope to sell.
