There is an Android smartphone on sale for … $ 4 (yes, 4 US dollars … – Shifter

While the big brands like Samsung and Apple continue to fight for the best smartphone market, which consequently cost a beautiful hundred euros, some walk to the precisely opposite and want to reach other markets. And while we have a pen for the iPad Pro which costs $ 99, there is a Chinese company that could produce one that can be Android cheapest in the world , costing just … $ 4 .

the internet is known as Freedom 251 , but this should be a rebranding this Adcom Ikon 4 suffered when it was put to sale. This is an entry phone with “physical” appearance to an iPhone 4 but with a price that appeals to all to any portfolio.

We are talking about a device with 4-inch screen, a processor 1.3 GHz quad-core. 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage. The cameras, of course, are not the most reliable: the back is 3.2 megapixels and begrudging front 0.3, although, according to the official website, there are technologies and automatic improvements to exploit to the “perfect selfie”

.

the operating system is Android 5.1 Lollipop, but with a launcher on top that is very reminiscent of iOS, and the brand promise one year warranty. Needless to say there was a high number of orders from the moment it became available on the Internet.

Of course, the user experience is not the most satisfactory, or more or less, but we are talking a device that costs less than a meal at McDonald’s. A device that can serve: you can take for a week of sports vacation and not worrying you minimally if you let him fall to the river on the last day, because the photos have not been much.

The big question in the middle all this is: the company has in fact profit from this product, or is it just a way to earn name in the market and to reach a larger audience? It is not right. What is known is that it is not every day that an Android smartphone is on sale for an amount as significant as simple a 4 dollars.
