Worlds Cheapest Smartphone is £2.57!

The Freedom 251 recently launched in India and is proclaimed as the cheapest smartphone in the world. Respectively the Freedom 251 is priced at 251 Indian Rupees (INR). Converted, this fully functional, flagship smartphone with a 4 inch display costs a mere £2.57. It will play a significant role in helping India stay connected.

The phone is manufactured by Ringing Bells and runs the Android operating system, Android Lollipop in fact, and it even has a larger battery capacity than the iPhone 5.

For £2.57 there isn’t even any wiggle room to complain about these specs.  If you were to price up these single components in other flagship phones there isn’t a single part on this spec sheet alone that would cost less than £3.

Who could make a smartphone so cheap?

The manufacturer, Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd., was established in 2015 and is one of the fastest growing smartphone companies in India.

Their admirable vision statement on the Freedom 251 website is:

Empower citizens, even in the remotest rural and semi-urban centres of India, with the latest in digital technology at incredible affordable prices and cascade knowledge, news and current issues so that all experience the confidence of inclusive growth and equal opportunity – In short, innovative solutions for a Brighter tomorrow.

Their mission:

To provide futuristic technology products of the highest quality and best service at the lowest cost of ownership.

The handset comes pre-loaded with a selection of apps, including Google Play, Facebook, WhatsApp and YouTube and all your pictures, videos and games are vivid on the 4 inch (10.2 cms) qHD IPS display. The 3.2MP AF Rear Camera & 0.3MP Front camera capture images and even selfies in reasonable quality (not what you would expect on a high-end smartphone, but you can’t really complain at this price).

Staying connected with family, friends or followers is one of the main features listed on their website with “an enhanced connection that gives you everything you need at lightning fast speeds.” Freedom 251 comes with 1.3 GHz Quadcore Processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory, with storage expandable up to 32GB with an SD card. The 1450 mAh battery (larger than the iPhone 5) gives you time to talk, text, Play and watch videos without needing to worry about running out of power.
