The $4 Freedom 251 by Indian company Ringing BellsCredit: Manish Singh / Mashable India 。
It had promised to ship 2.5 million phones by end of June, but has shipped less than 70,000 phones so far, if we were to believe the company's claims. In the meanwhile, Ringing Bells is now offering a range of other smartphones, feature phones and even a Rs 9,900 ($147) 32-inch HD TV. Today the company announced a loyalty card, which prospective buyers can purchase to get discounts on its products and also get a unit of Freedom 251 for free.In the months since, we have seen a handful of other players try similar techniques in hopes of making a dent in the market. A Southern Indian company mPhone aggressively marketed its 'Mango' series of smartphones, claiming that they are build in accordance with Digital India and Make in India programs. The founders were arrested on the day of the launch after it was found that they have been part of a number of fraud cases.In April, another company called Docoss touted to offer a phone called Docoss X1 at a price point of Rs 888 ($10). The company had plans to do a flash sale and ship the phones in coming weeks. Four months later, its phones are yet to materialize.But some of these newcomers aren’t the only ones who’re trying to game the system. Well established and known names such as Xiaomi, LeEco, and Asus invite hundreds of “fans” to their press events to create a buzz about their products. Many of these fans go to the event only to receive the promised free goodies.The lack of regulations could be blamed for how easy it has become for any startup to make bizarre claims in an attempt to trick people into purchasing their products.。Researchers create temporary tattoos you can use to control your devices2025-04-03 09:45
