Ringing Bells’s ‘Freedom 251’: Rs.500 Smartpone launching on Feb 17th in India

Recommended Posts

The launch is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for “empowering India to the last person, transforming India’s growth story”, the Noida-based company said.


Defence Minister Manohar Parrikkar will launch the smartphone ‘Freedom 251’ on February 17.


“The phone will be popularly priced at under Rs 500…this event and launch stands as a true testimony of success of the latest initiatives taken by the Government of India,” according to a media invite sent by the firm.


Launch of Freedom 251 will disrupt the booming handset market in the country.

It is looking like a scam.. Govt has nothing to do with this phone CO. They said defence minister is launching it, but didn't see any photo of launch event. The mobile they displayed in TV show is actually a phone by Adcom with the Adcom brand hidden using a whitener..

A Rs251/- from one crore people will fetch Rs251 crore scam. Don't go for this, IMHO..

I went to Ringing Bell's headoffice in Noida today.

A crowd of youngsters was already arguing with the office staff at gate.

Security people said they will start shipping in June.

Looks like total hoax.

Economics doesn't justify price but in era of startups and venture capitalism, company may prefer to loose few hundred crore to establish brand on one go.

Wait and watch cautiosly is only way.
