That's right. 4 bucks for a smartphone.

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.

I wonder how much it costs to make and if/how much money they make off of the preloaded bloatware. All they have to do is sell one to 1/4 the population of India and they would be doing pretty well.

I'm sure Apple won't be happy with the design

Is that a physical home button at the bottom? What is this 2012?

looks like the perfect phone for old people who have $700 smart phones and don't use 10% of the phone's capabilities.
