The company will begin
taking pre-booking for the smartphone from its website freedom251.com starting 18
February 2016. The smartphone has already landed in several controversies before
the official launch.
If
you are planning to buy the Freedom 251, here are some points that you need to
take in consideration before purchase.
Controversy 1: iPhone copycat
According
to sources It has the same circular Touch ID at the bottom of the smartphone similar
to the iPhone 6 and the 6s. In fact, the software icons are copied from iOS.
The dialer app, camera, calculator, browser, clock and messages are lifted from
iOS.
Controversy 2: Adcom has no clue
The
HT report also points out that Adcom is unaware about its branding utilized by
Ringing Bells. Ringing Bells played down the argument by saying the units given
to journalists were just for the preview. In fact the units given to the HT had
whitener applied to hide the Adcom logo on the device.
Controversy 3: Is it made in India?
People
have all the suspicions that the smartphone was even made in India, but is a
cheap device with a very low cost price. According to some sources, the price of the
smartphone would cost more than $35, which is Rs 2,400 approximately for a
4-inch display assembly (having LCD, digitizer, and front bezel)
Controversy 4: Is it a scam?
People
have been burnt by the experience of the very low-cost Aakash tablet. DataWind
had failed to timely deliver the Aakash Tablet, and couldn’t cope up with the
massive demand nationwide. It somehow prompts us of the same experience, and
perhaps the pricing has been kept low to just boost branding of the company,
and later delay the shipments for months citing massive demands/orders.
According to Indian
Cellular Association the minimum price for 3G phone is Rs 2,700 and it is
impossible for company to offer a phone at 251 INR. The industry body says the
company declarations are not sustainable.
Book this
phone from freedom.com but before booking a phone you should definitely take these
points in your considerations.
