Rs 251 Freedom 251 vs Rs 501 ChampOne C1
There is no dearth of budget smartphones in India.However, the Freedom 251 had the ability to make everyone sit up straight and take notice even in the overcrowded Indian budget segment, owing to the uber-cheap Rs 251 eye-popping price tag for the specs it offered.Now, a new home-brewed company, ChampOne, has decided to do just that, except for it is vocal about the Rs 501 price tag being an introductory offer for its Rs 8000 smartphone.There are obvious comparisons by calling it a new scam, specs and so on.
ChampOne C1 Registrations Open but Is This Mobile the New Freedom 251?
ChampOne, an unknown company, has listed a Rs.501 smartphone called ChampOne C1 on its website, with registrations for the first flash scheduled for September 2 now open.Well, sort of.After the listing went viral on Monday, the company updated its website to say "only existing customers are eligible for flash sale" - what that means for a company with no other products is anybody's guess.
ChampOne C1, Freedom 251, NamoTel... there are no cheap phones, only cheap tricks : Talking Points, News
There is a madness in the phone market, a madness started by Ringing Bells when it announced the Freedom 251, a phone with a price of Rs 251.That was a clever marketing trick.And now it has spawned copycats with the latest being the ChampOne C1, a phone that supposedly costs Rs 501.On paper, these phones -- the Freedom 251, ChampOne C1 and Namotel Achhe Din that was supposed to cost Rs 99 -- look fantastic.
