SPECIFICATIONS
- The phone sports a decent 4 inch qHD IPS screen. A very common screen size for sub 5000 range phones
- 1.3 GHz Quadcore Processor shall provide speeds good enough for basic use of apps and games.
- 1 GB Ram - Though on a lower side but enough for a Rs. 251 phone.
- 8 GB Internal Storage (Expandable upto 32 GB). Though expandable upto 32GB, the irony is that your memory card could cost you more than the phone.
- 3.2mp Primary Camera, 0.3mp Front Camera - Probably bundled with the phone as its just a necessity. The camera shouldn't be a decisive factor for this phone.
- 1450 mAh Battery - The only way this sized battery can last you a day. But this price point can confuse you whether to buy 2 phones or another powerbank that costs more than the phone.
- Preinstalled apps :- Women Safety, Swachh Bharat, Fisherman, Farmer, Medical, Whatsapp, Facebook, Youtube, etc. Our only fear is that all the pre-installed apps might eat up a lot of internal space giving not much room for other apps.
- Android Lollipop 5.1 - Slowly picking up with app support and looks much better than previous android versions.
- 1 year manufacturer warranty
- 650+ service centers
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. Hope this makes the vision of "Digital India" a success with "Make In India" acting as the catalyst.
Will this be another Aakash Tablet? No one ever came to know who got those cheap tablets. We only hope and wish we get a hand on this soon. Be prepared to wake up at 5.30am on 18th Feb to book this phone.
