Freedom 251, the Rs. 251 smartphone by Noida-based Ringing Bell was officially launched in New Delhi on Wednesday. Bookings for the smartphone are now open and you can buy one by heading to the official website freedom251.com and following these steps.
Steps to book your Freedom 251 unit:
1) Head to the official website freedom251.com.
2) Click on Buy Now button.
3) Note that the Ringing Bell is charging Rs. 40 for shipping Freedom 251 to your home so the total you will need to pay is Rs. 291.
4) Enter your shipping address, accept the terms and conditions and click on Pay Now to proceed to the payment page.
When we tried to do this, we were thrown back to the same screen, but hopefully you will have better luck while trying to purchase your Freedom 251 unit. Note that the phone cannot be shipped to an address outside India.
Things to remember before you buy Freedom 251
1) A general rule in life - if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
2) Ringing Bell is an unknown brand with no track record in electronics, so it's difficult to ascertain at this point what the quality of the final product and the after-sales will be like.
3) We noted other concerns with our Freedom 251 review unit, though the company later told us it does not represent the final unit that will ship to customers.
4) The company says it may take up to 4 months for your unit to ship - so keep that in mind before you book a Freedom 251. Given the company's lack of any kind of a track record, there's an outside chance that it may never ship at all. 5) There seems to be no kind of return policy on the website, though it does say your Freedom 251 unit is covered by a one-year warranty.
To refresh, the Freedom 251 is a Rs. 251 smartphone that comes with a 4-inch display, a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage (expandable by up to 32GB), and runs Android 5.1.
