The $4 smartphone Freedom 251 will run Lollipop

Ringing Bells, a company based out of India, has announced that their newest release, the Freedom 251, will sell for just Rs. 251, which is a little less than 4 USD. The device will launch Thursday morning, and when it does, it may be the cheapest smartphone currently for sale in the world.




The Freedom 251 is a curious beast. If you’re expecting anything more elaborate than entry level specs on this device, you are outside of your mind, but given its $4 price tag, it’s really surprisingly well put together. The handset runs on a mystery brand quad-core 1.3 GHz SoC that gets 1GB of RAM to play with. You’ll get 8 gigs of storage space on this baby, but you can expand it up to 32GB with a microSD card. The device sports two cameras – which all by themselves would justify a $4 investment – with the rear-facing one rocking 3.2 megapixels and the selfie-snapper offering .3 megapixels. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.
