Who is fairer of them all…

In the trail of cheap phones, another name Namotel has been added. Recently, when after Ringing Bells and Docoss, another unknown company from Bangalore came forward and announced a smartphone for price Rs. 99. Nowadays everybody knows how to make smartphone at home. But it’s hilarious as even 1kg of daal doesn’t come for 99 Rs.

The company named Namotel which was never heard of before, claims to give phone “Acche Din” at only 99. What you have to do is just book the phone on website and it is available at CoD, added normal delivery charges are levied which is 199 Rs. This charge is more than phone price which makes no sense. Now bookings are closed as well as site at the time of writing.

The company marketing official Madhava Reddy’s picture can be seen everywhere holding a phone in his hand, but ever thought who he is? Research says he worked as a Relationship Manager in the Axis Bank’s home loan department. It’s unknown how he made a leap from banking to mobile sector.

Namotel claims phone is Made in India. Acche Din has 4 inch display, runs on 5.1 Lollipop Android, powered by 1.3 GHz quad core processor along with 1 GB RAM & 4 GB storage space. As discussed in past, these specs are impossible in Rs. 99.

Let’s talk about Docoss X1 from Rajasthan, the big question is whether people will get delivery or not. We took an update at what’s happening on the delivery side, and came to know that delivery is not in the scene soon enough. Docoss official Shashikant quoted, “we will start delivery once we get certification from BIS”

Bearing in mind the situation of the Freedom 251 and Docoss smartphone, one cannot be assured of this smartphone either.
