Datawind manufactures low-cost tablets for the purpose of education in developing countries.
Recently, the company has partnered with Reliance Communications to offer free internet for one year with their phone.
Datawind didnt share any information regarding the recently launched handset PocketSurfer GZ.
However, the most appealing feature of this phone is the unit ships with the Linux Operating System.
Therefore, this new launch of the smartphone at just Rs 1499 is a step towards that direction.
According to the reports from International Data Corporation (IDC).
DataWind had 27.6% share as shipments grew by a healthy 33.5% over the past four months.
However, Freedom 251 from ringing bells still holds the title of the cheapest smartphone.
