The typical description of a budget smartphone is one that’s
priced less than a hundred dollars. This week, India’s Ringing Bells has
shattered this definition of the budget phone by announcing the Freedom 251
that’s priced at $4. Yep, you read that correctly, it’s just $4.
Looking at the device specs sheet, it’s not that bad. The
Freedom 251 is packing a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of
internal storage. Now this may look like a phone from 2 years ago, but at just
$4, that’s actually not too shabby.
Other notable features of the handset include a 4-inch qHD
display, a 3.2MP camera at the back, a VGA selfie snapper, a 1450mAh battery,
3G connectivity, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth and GPS.
