青岛希尼尔翻译公司（www.sinosenior.com）2016年2月19日了解到：A
little-known Indian company is launching a smartphone on Wednesday
believed to be the cheapest in the world, targeting a market already
dominated by low-cost handsets.
印度的智能手机市场上充斥着低端产品，而本周三一家名不见经传的公司更是发布了一款世界上最便宜的智能手机。
Set to be priced at under 500 rupees (about 5.10 pounds), domestic
handset maker Ringing Bells’ Freedom 251 smartphone is about 1% of the
price of the latest Apple iPhone.
印度本土手机生产商Ringing
Bell发布的自由251智能手机，售价仅为500卢布（约合5.1英镑，48元人民币），约为苹果最新款手机（iPhone6S）售价的百分之一。
Ringing Bells was set up in September 2015 and began selling mobile
phones via its website a few weeks ago under its Bell brand, a
spokeswoman said.
该公司一位女发言人介绍说，Ringing Bells于2015年9月刚刚成立，成立几周后就在官网上出售手机。
“This is our flagship model and we think it will bring a revolution in
the industry,” she told AFP. Ringing Bells currently imports parts from
overseas and assembles them in India but plans to make its phones
domestically within a year, the spokeswoman added.
她告诉法新社（AFP）“（自由251）是公司的旗舰产品，我们认为这款手机将带来一场行业革命。”这位发言人还说，Ringing
Bells目前的生产模式是从国外进口零件，在印度进行组装。不过公司计划在一年内实现手机生产组装本土化。
Cheap smartphones, many of them Chinese-made, are readily available in
the Indian market but domestic competitors are making inroads, with
models selling for less than 14 pounds.
如今印度市场上到处是低价的智能手机，其中大多数都是中国公司生产的。本土的生产商亦不甘示弱，甚至推出过售价14英镑的机型。
India is the world’s second-largest mobile market and notched up its
billionth mobile phone subscriber in October, according to the country’s
telecoms regulator.
印度是市场第二大手机市场，据印度电信部门官员介绍，2015年十月印度的手机用户达到了10亿人。
But in poorer Indian states such as Bihar, “teledensity” – the
penetration of telephone connections for every 100 people – is as low as
54%, with a stark urban-rural divide.
但是，在像比哈尔邦这样的穷地方，“电信密度”--也就是一百人中使用电话的人数--仅为54%，城乡差距非常明显。
