The Defence Minister of India, Shri Manohar Parrikar has launched the world’s cheapest smartphone “Freedom 251” today. Freedom 251, as its name suggests, is priced at Rs. 251. Yes you heard it right; Rs. 251 only. This affordable yet power packed smartphone is manufactured by an Indian company, Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd.
The launch of this surprisingly inexpensive phone is in line with our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s flagship schemes of “Make in India” and “Digital India”. Ringing Bells says that the phone has been developed with “immense support from the Indian government and it reflects the PM’s vision of “empowering India to the last person, transforming India’s growth story.”
The low price and qualitative features are surely going to make the phone a quick favourite of the poor and needy people of India who otherwise would not have been able to afford a Smartphone.
