The $4 Freedom 251 Smartphone Is A SCAM! by kingsamm(m): 8:11am On Feb 21, 2016 |
Earlier this week, news of a $4 Android Phone spread around all major blog like GEEK NG, Yomiprof.com, Android Authority and many more.. You might wonder why I didn't write a post about it, the reason is pretty simple I didn't believe it and I decided to chillax for a bit and see what happens. Just as I guessed, it turns out the $4 smartphone is actually a shady deal. There was a crazy rush for this device as many people thought it was a good deal. However, now that the device is reaching people, it's looking completely different from the device that was promoted. When you pull the device out of the box, first thing you notice is that a 'Tipp-Ex like' material covering the manufacturers name. That's when you start to feel something is wrong. Scratching off the covering, you find out that the device isn't a freedom 251 but a device made by a company called Adcom, the Adcom Ikon 4. After complaints were raised to Ringing Bells the supposed phone manufacturer and they made changes, not to the device but to the website! Other mysteries include that the Adcom Ikon 4/Freedom 251 looks like an iPhone and to make it worse, some of the app icons are directly gotten from iOS like the browser icon which is exactly the Safari icon. Funny enough, Adcom denies having knowledge of their device being used for such purpose. In the meantime, Ringing bells is telling people not to worry that the device they have received is just a 'preview of the actual freedom 251'... Can you imagine?? http://www.naijatechs.com/2016/02/Freedom-251-images-price.html?m=1
