No, that’s not a typo in the title. An unknown Indian company by the name Ringing Bells has introduced what’s probably the cheapest Android smartphone for just Rs 251 which is less than USD 4 (actually $3.65 at present rates). What’s even more surprising is the looks and specs of Freedom 251. Take a deep breath and have a look at this.

Freedom 251 Specs

4-inch qHD screen with IPS
1.3 GHz quad-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB internal storage
microSD slot for up to 32GB of external storage
3.2MP rear camera with auto focus
0.3MP (VGA) front camera
3G support
1450 mAh battery
Android 5.1 Lollipop

The above hardware specifications look like an entry level smartphone from 2014 with no major compromises. Going by the published images, it doesn’t look bad either, at least not an eyesore that one would expect for a phone costing less than what you’d pay for a coffee at Starbucks [Update: Actual image of the phone is at the end of the article]. Still, it comes with Android 5.1 Lollipop, 3G, microSD support and 1GB RAM. There is no mention of the brand of the SoC, so we shall dig around and update as and when it will be available.
