Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic May 20, 2016 Share May 20, 2016 Xioami listed as cheapest HP had been broken.......... Here comes S$3/- Android HP with Andriod 5.1 Lollipop, 1.3 GHz, 1 GB RAM and 4 GB storage space. Yahoo : Don’t laugh. This Indian company has just launched world’s cheapest smartphone priced at US$1.34 The Namotel Acche Din has a 4-inch display, runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, powered by 1.3GHz quad-core processor, and has 1 GB RAM and 4GB storage space With US$1.34, you could probably buy 2.5 kg of tomatoes in India but not a smartphone. Oh, wait. From today, you can buy a smartphone for less than US$2.00 in India. Bangalore-based company Namotel has announced in a press conference that it has launched the world’s cheapest smartphone, priced at INR 99 (US$1.34) — which is cheaper than Freedom 251, priced at US$4, launched by another Indian firm (The company is, however, under investigation for misleading the public). Christened Namotel Acche Din (Namo is apparently the nickname of Indian PM Narendra Modi), the ’cheaper-than-the-cheapest’ handset will be available for booking between May 17 to 25, 2016. According to the company, Namotel Acche Din has a 4-inch display, runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, and is powered by 1.3GHz quad-core processor. It has 1 GB RAM and 4GB storage space. The smartphone brand will be available only in India on cash-on-delivery basis. Those who have an Aadhaar card can register on its site and book the phone. Acche Din (means good days) comes with one year warranty. For handset and accessory defects under normal use circumstances and at the discretion of the company, Namotel shall provide free-of-charge repair and/or replacement services within the warranty period, it claims on its website. The company is promoted by Madhava Reddy, who claims to have worked as a relationship manager in the Axis Bank’s Home Loans. Established in 2016, the company looks to promote the ‘Make in India’ initiative launched by Modi. In February, Ringing Bells launched Freedom 251. However, it ran into trouble after Kirit Somaiya, leader of India’s leading political party BJP, filed a formal complaint against the company for allegedly violating India’s IT Act for being dishonest with its product claims. Somaiya had alleged that it was impossible for a smartphone manufacturer to price a phone at US$4 without carrier subsidies. In February, he described Freedom 251 as a ponzi scheme. link : https://sg.news.yahoo.com/don-t-laugh-indian-company-just-launched-world-044024944.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanCoe Hypersonic May 20, 2016 Share May 20, 2016 Heard that its a scam actually if you read further reports You have to register at some other website for some other services first and pay & then you are eligible to buy it and also they will deliver the phone to you and charge you an arm and leg. Lots of hidden costs All marketing gimmick. Xioami listed as cheapest HP had been broken.......... Here comes S$3/- Android HP with Andriod 5.1 Lollipop, 1.3 GHz, 1 GB RAM and 4 GB storage space.

BanCoe Hypersonic May 20, 2016 Share May 20, 2016 (edited) Similar same thing happened in India when they lauched the Tata Nano at Rs100,000 car which was about sgd2,000 & later say its ex-factory price, bare bones and other crazy registration fees.... jokes went around that even you gotta pay for the wiper blades too.... I don't if seats belts sold seperately clause also got not or maybe " Batteries not Included" Hope Tesla don't play the same game , as in US if you screw around with consumers the Laws are damn strict and in favour of Consumers...... not the same scene in Singapore.... CASE/SCT even polis can't do much. In USA if you are caught cheating Protestors will picket infront of your shop or mall....... that's the way it is there Edited May 20, 2016 by BanCoe 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
