Freedom 651 : A “Tight Competitor”
Now it seems like the company is having a “tight competitor” in the field with a smart-phone available at Rs 651 that will be “delivered by June 30, 2026, to the doorstep by drones.”
Well, if the Freedom smartphone did not get you angry, here is a website that has been launched claiming that they will deliver the smartphone, priced at Rs 651, by June 2026.
At the first look, the website Freedom651.com, owned by Doesn’t Ring a Bell Pvt. Ltd., looks very similar to Freedom 251’s web-page. But only on close observation you will realise it as a spoof website taking a dig at the makers of the cheapest smart-phone. From the ‘Do not Buy’ button, a delivery date of 30th June, 2026, a customer care number which reads- 0420-420420, 4200420, and a separate ‘Contact Us’ section that asks for a user’s grandfather’s, neighbour’s details and still warns not to even try submitting the form; the website brutally takes down every aspect of Freedom 251’s existence or the lack of it.
The ‘About Us’ section of the spoof website mentions that it is indeed a ‘parody website with no intentions of making a smart phone or any other smart move towards making one.’ The social media links on the website direct to a ‘Places near Pune‘ tourist information page on Facebook, seemingly created in late 2010.
