In February Ringing Bell’s Freedom 251 smartphone was unveiled, priced at Rs 251 that claimed to be India’s cheapest smartphone. Freedom 251 smartphone from Noida-based start-up Ringing Bells made headlines for a few weeks, especially as it was launched by senior Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leader M M Joshi (earlier it was said Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar would launch the smartphone). The smartphone was surrounded by disputated that led to an FIR being registered against the makers. Ringing Bells promised to deliver Freedom 251 smartphones by end of June. The website crashed soon after bookings opened and it was later discovered that Freedom 251 smartphone shown at the launch was a re-branded version of another device from a firm called AdCom. AdCom later threatened to sue Ringing Bells.

Another India-based brand -mPhone ‘Mango’ smartphone also made headlines but ended up as a dud soon after due to the financial state of the proprietors, who were reportedly arrested at the launch of the brand in India for bank fraud.
