Ringing Bells Line-up
Ringing Bells, the infamous manufacturer
of the Rs. 251 smartphone Freedom 251, has announced two new budget Android
smartphones, the imaginatively named Ringing Bells Elegance and Ringing Bells
Elegant. The company has also unveiled four new feature phones, three power
banks, and a HD TV.
Both new phones come with a 5-inch 720p
display and are powered by a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor alongside 1 GB RAM and
8 GB internal storage, expandable by another 32 GB via a microSD slot. Both
Ringing Bells Elegance and Ringing Bells Elegance run Android 6.0 out of the
box, and come with an 8-megapixel rear camera, as well as a 3.2-megapixel front
shooter. Connectivity options on the two phones include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth,
and FM.
While the Rs. 4,499 Ringing Bells
Elegance comes with 4G connectivity (with VoLTE support) and a 2,800 mAh battery,
the Ringing Bells Elegance, carrying a price tag of Rs. 3,999, is a 3G phone
powered by a 2,500 mAh battery.
Both phones are listed on Ringing Bells'
website but there's no word yet on how and when they will become available.
At an event in New Delhi on Thursday,
the company also announced four new feature phones: Ringing Bells Hit (Rs.
699), Ringing Bells King (Rs. 899), Ringing Bells Boss (Rs. 999), and Ringing
Bells Raja (Rs. 1,099). Three power banks - RB Power (4,000 mAh, Rs. 399), RB
Power Plus (5,500 mAh, Rs. 499), RB Smart (8,000 mAh, Rs. 699) - are listed on the
company's website as well. Ringing Bells has also announced a
31.5-inch HD LED TV priced at Rs. 9,900 that will be launched on August 15.
Pre-order and other details will be shared at a later date.
The company reiterated that Freedom 251
deliveries will begin on Friday with 5,000 units that will ship out to
customers chosen by lucky draws. 'Based on feedback from these customers',
Ringing Bells will decide the fate of the millions of others who'd pre-ordered
the Rs. 251 smartphone, the company said.
