Freedom to Flaunt
Freedom 251 goes with a 4″ (960 x 540 pixels) qHD IPS display
A 3.2MP rear camera along with a .3 MP front camera ain’t bad either.
The answer is NO, the only smartphone close enough is priced at Rs. 1500. At present, smartphones available in the market are priced around Rs 1,500. Last year, DataWind had announced that it is teaming up with Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Communications (RCOM) to launch the world’s most affordable smartphone, priced at Rs 999. The phone is yet to hit the market. Booking will start from Tomorrow at 6.00 AM. So, Be Ready for this.
How can Ringing Bell manage so low price?
The answer is an assumption : The reason could be the fact that Ringing bell is not trying to make profit at all. The smartphone is a derivative of Make-In-India program and it follows the basic principle of any new entrant with price as USP i.e. low price high specification. Ringing bell may have bought the parts (considering that they will get a lot of orders) in bulk which could have costed them less. Assembling has not began yet and will be done as per orders. The whole process is likely to be in India and will take skilled rather than high paid employees to work. hence the cost would be very very low. OR there is a strong possibility that the company would counter the losses made on Freedom 251 with the profit made on other products like Smart101, Master, 4U, Kiwi and other. Freedom 251 will, Inadvertently, promote ‘Bell’ brand and the company may shot up above the leaders. Awesome strategy..!
