Datawind, who is the maker of Akash Tablet has planned to launch a Android Phone which is to be priced at Rs. 2000. The users will also be provided with a lifetime internet connectivity. The Android phone is to be launched in India before the festival of Diwali and is expected to come with a screen size of 3.5-inch.
Although the idea doesn’t sound commercially viable, Datawind is reported to have convinced at least three telecom brands on the feasibility of its project. For the present, however, Datawind’s executive vice president Rupinder Singh is keeping details under wraps.
Apart from selling tablets, Datawind also offers three phones in India and claims to be shipping between 40,000 and 50,000 of its products across the country each month.
If the Rs2,000-Android handset that bundles free data for life works out as planned, Datawind will play a major role in Narendera Modi government’s Digital India initiative for connecting all parts of the country to mobile telephony and data networks.
