According to the announcement made by the company today, the cheapest television named “Freedom”, which will be a 32-inches wide high definition TV, will hit the Indian market at a price tag of Rs. 10,000 ($147).
The cheapest 32 inches LED TV currently available in the market is priced at Rs. 13,000 ($191). Mohit Goel, CEO, and Founder of Ringing Bells said that “Freedom” series of television sets will be cheapest in India and said that the company can deliver the product to customers within two days after ordering online.
Meanwhile, the launch of the new device by the Noida-based company comes in the midst of growing pessimism over Freedom 251. But the company now says that they are ready with 200,000 units of the cheapest smartphone.

The company which is currently facing a probe after an FIR was lodged against it also confirmed that the most awaited Freedom 251 handset will be delivered to buyers before June 30.
The CEO of Ringing Bells also said that they will open a new registration window for prospective buyers who failed to buy the smartphone the first time.
The company faced backlash after their website went down moments after the sales started and according to the figures released, more than a 70 million people tried placing the order, which resulted in the website and payment gateway crashing. The company was supposed to deliver 25 lakh Freedom 251 handsets by June.
Goel told media: “We learned from our mistakes and decided to go silent till we come out with the product now we have a 4-inch dual-SIM smartphone ready to deliver. I feel vindicated.”
The company has not revealed much about their upcoming cheapest LED TV but the failure to deliver the cheapest smartphone on time has caused much scepticism over the launch.
