An Indian company has launched what is being billed as the world's cheapest smartphone. Ringing Bells earlier said their Freedom 251 phone would be priced under 500 rupees (£5; $7.3), but at the launch on Wednesday, it said it would cost just 251 rupees ($3.67; £2.56). The phone has 8GB storage and cameras in the front and back. India is the world's second-largest mobile market and has one billion mobile phone subscribers. Freedom 251 is expected to target a market already dominated by low-cost handsets. "This is our flagship model and we think it will bring a revolution in the industry," the AFP news agency quoted a spokeswoman as saying. At present, the firm imports parts from overseas and assembles them in India, but plans to make its phones domestically within a year, she added. Ringing Bells was set up a few months ago and recently launched one of India's cheapest 4G smartphones at 2,999 rupees, the Press Trust of India reported. Sourc...

I would recommend it for kids to teach them about nature and where food comes from.. Inspired from the Book: "Don't Throw It, Grow It!: 68 windowsill plants from kitchen scraps  Paperback"  by Deborah Peterson  (Author)
