Is it possible to find a smartphone sporting a 4 inch display, running Android 5.1 Lollipop, having WiFi, Bluetooth, a 3.1 rear camera and a 0.3 front Camera, a 1450 mAh Battery and one year warranty, for a price tag of 3.67$? That seems to be impossible. But not in India! A new smartphone, that may be considered as the cheapest smartphone worldwide, is going to hit the Indian markets in less than 2 days, Ringing Bell’s ‘Freedom251’!
The Freedom 251 aims to be a smartphone which anybody can buy. But it’s not just any other cheap smartphone. This smartphone has great features concerning to it’s price, which is 3.67$ or 251 Indian Rupees. Sweet!
Design
This smartphone borrows a lot of it’s looks from the iPhone 6. It has a round home button, curved edges, and the camera is positioned at the top right along with the flash. The Freedom 251 will have a 4 inch qHD IPS display (a resolution of 540 pixels by 960 pixels). Which is the nearly same size as the iPhone 5/5S, so you will not find a lot of difference in size as we were expecting for the price.
Camera
The Freedom 251 packs a 3.2MP rear camera with auto focus, and a 0.3 MP front camera for your selfies. The rear camera will hold up okay, but the front camera seems to be of a very low resolution. We’ll have to test that to see if it’s practically of any use. It will capture a few details in your rear shots, while the front camera might just barely get the job done. No complains though, for the price, we were not even expecting any second camera on the device.
Performance and Storage
The 251 rupees smartphone comes with a surprising 1.3GHz Quadcore processor which will be sufficient enough to give smooth and responsive performance, they claim. 1 GB RAM will be coupled with the processor to make sure that there is no lag at least when lightly using the phone. It comes with 8 GB of internal memory. More you ask? No problem! It supports up to 32 GB of expandable storage via a microSD card!
Battery
On paper, it has a 1450 mAh battery which we think is enough to last you a day or more, as the phone is not resource heavy. Quoting; “With 1450 mAh, you will not need to worry about running out of power! Talk, text, play and do whatever you want !”
We’re going to post a device review once we get hands on this device and get enough time to play and test it. Let us know in the comments what you’d like to know about the device so we can cover up all the things you need to know in the review!
Well that’s it! That’s what a 251 Rupee smartphone can do! So before you decide to have a launch at a local fast-food chain, think well about what can be done with that money!
