Well, first of all, the controversial 4 dollar smartphone does not really cost 4 dollars. Ringing Bells sells the smartphone for 251 rupees (slightly less than 4 dollars), but according to Times of India, the company has asked various software companies to use their applications on the phone to attract revenue.
And despite this agreement, the company claims to have a loss of about 150 rupees (about 2.20 dollars) per unit, which it hopes will cover the Indian government.
So the $4 smartphone doesn't cost $4. Actually, its specs devices is similar to the ADCOM Ikon 4 (which was the device that Ringing Bells used as a prototype).
ADCOM Ikon 4 is available in the market at approximately 54 dollars.
But let's see what Freedom 251 contains

The specs are not impressive if compared to those of the iPhone 5, but again, if the device is sold for 4 dollars, there is no comparison.
