Launching of low-cost smartphones became very common these days as every other smartphone company trying to launch their smartphone at as affordable pricing as possible to beat-up the competition.
Once again, in the series of low-budget smartphones DataWind added it’s another smartphone known as DataWind PocketSurfer GZ at Rs. 1499 only. However, it has launched many other low-budget smartphones previously in its Pocket Surfer series.
The best thing about this PocketSurfer GZ smartphone is that it comes with the unlimited FREE internet for 1 year. Actually, the company has partnered with Reliance Communications to offer free internet. However, its not the first time DataWind offering 1 year free internet as they also provided the same with their previous smartphones too.
Suneet Singh Tuli, CEO of DataWind reportedly stated, “We are focused on driving the cost downward to a level where access to technology becomes universally affordable and democratization of technology finds its true meaning. Therefore, this new launch of smartphone at just Rs. 1499 is a step in that direction. This will certainly enhance the connectivity in the developing nations.”
