Some notable points –
The Freedom 251 will be officially unveiled in New Delhi on Wednesday evening at an event that will be presided over by Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, MP, with the Union Defence Minister Sri Manohar Parrikar as the Chief Guest.
Ringing Bells says the Freedom 251 smartphone has been developed ‘with immense support’ from the government and is touting it as a success story of PM Modi’s flagship ‘Make in India’ scheme.
A smartphone priced at Rs. 251 will go a long way in connecting every Indian, and like the previous government tried to take computing to the masses with the Aakash tablet, the Freedom 251 has the potential to realise the ‘Digital India’ vision.
Users also get a 1-year warranty on the phone backed by their 650 service centers across the country.

Date of Bookings – 6 AM February 18 – 8 PM February 21
Date of Delivery – By 30th June 2016.
An Issue to be noticed – Might be a scam
This company (Ringing Bells) had already launched a 4G enabled smartphone Smart 101 that is already listed on their website for a price tag of ₹2,999.
However it is not clearly mentioned from where the Smart 101 handset can be bought. Probably it was available on their own website, there are some users who had purchased it but have still not got the handset delivered.
“For your kind information, the bill of material (BOM) value for a product like this when sourced from the cheapest supply chain cost approximately USD 40 (Rs 2,700).
“And this, when translated into retail price after addition of applicable duties, taxes and with distribution and retail margins would be at least Rs 4,100 while the product is being sold at Rs 251,” ICA National President Pankaj Mohindroo said in the letter.
He further added that even if the product is sold at lower margins in an e-commerce type subsidised sale, the final consumer price cannot come below USD 52-55 (about Rs 3,500-3,800).
“Further, there is no visible mobile operator subsidy involved in this, which in any case is not the way the Indian mobile market operates,” he added.
Mohindroo said it would be advisable that officers from Deity get into the depth of this and ICA will provide any technical assistance, if required.

Pre-installed Apps in the phone
Now-a-days smartphones come with some pre-installed apps for eg – Flipkart App in Xiaomi Phones. Similarly this app comes with below apps –
Swachh Bharat
Women Safety
Fisherman
Farmer
Medical
Google Play
WhatsApp
Facebook
Twitter and few others
However still, what we can do is hope for the best and support the government in the initiative and wish that it occurs on large scale and the company is successful in delivering the products and make ”Make in India” and ”Digital India” a success.
