India’s $4.00 Smartphone

I think this was an interesting story of how there is a new smartphone in India that cost only 251 rupees ($3.65). The smartphone actually has a 4-inch display, 1.3-GHz quad core processor, and 8GB of storage. Pankaj Mohindroo, national president of the Indian Cellular Association, claims that it seems to be a joke or a scam. He also claims that when using the cheapest components, a phone should cost at least 2700 rupees ($40), and with taxes it would cost at least 3500 rupees ($52). Which just leads to this: Is it too good to be true?

I think this is interesting because, seriously, I’ve never heard of a phone that cost $4.00. I wanted to read the story because I found it weird and unusual for a phone to be priced at $4, so I decided to keep reading about it.
