Freedom 251 ordering suspended


A smartphone costing $4 was always going to be a hit, but Indian company Ringing Bells had to learn the hard way exactly how much so. At 600,000 hits per second  its website could not handle all the traffic and orders had to be suspended.

Ringing Bells is working on a solution and promises that all will be back to normal within 24 hours.

Freedom 251 is the world's cheapest smartphone and at less than $4 (or INR 251, hence the name) we can't see that record getting broken any time soon. That amount of cash gets you a 4-inch qHD display, quad-core processor, a gig of RAM and Lollipop, so you are getting plenty of bang for your few bucks.
