Freedom 251, the world’s cheapest smartphone that has created massive buzz across the world earlier this year has once again come into the news with the latest announcement by the smartphone company. Noida-based startup Ringing Bells has recently announced its plans to launch the cheapest HD LED TV in India.

The pricing of the HD LED TV is expected to be less than Rs 10,000 and the company claim that it already has one lakh units in stock. An official launch is expected to take place in the first week of July.

Earlier this year, Ringing Bells had taken the market by storm by announcing the world’s cheapest 3G smartphone, the Freedom 251, exclusively at a price of Rs 251 (which is less than $4) and invited everyone to make registrations for grabbing the smartphone at an inexpensive price. But shortly after, the company has faced allegations from various quarters and was certified as a ‘scam’ by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for its dubious business practices. The Telecom Ministry had then asked the Income Tax Department to probe Ringing Bells’ financial standing. Even an FIR was lodged against the company.

Now, the smartphone makers say that they have made it possible despite allegations that such a phone would not see the light of the day.

Freedom 251 Deliveries Start From July 6:

The delivery of the world’s cheapest smartphone at Rs 251 (less than $4) will finally begin from July 6 and not June 30 as was announced earlier, its makers said on Wednesday, adding that they are trying to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi for garnering his support under the Make in India initiative.

The 3G device, Freedom 251, claims to have 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage which supports external memory cards of up to 32GB.
