The $4 Indian phone that some thought might never materialise reportedly does exist, but only because the startup producing it is making a loss on each one. 据报道,很多人以为不可能成真的4美元(约24元RMB)印度手机真的面世了,但那只是因为生产这种手机的创业公司每卖出一只手机都会亏本。 The Ringing Bells Freedom 251, initially announced at a price of £5, is apparently set to ship this week to customers who preordered the phone in February for – ($3.70 or £2.77). At that price – the one the company originally pledged – it is losing the Indian startup Rs 150 ($2.2 or £1.65) on each smartphone. 看起来,最初声称售价5英镑的Ring Bells Freedom 251手机本周就要向消费者发货了,它们都是二月份预订好的(售价3.70美元或者2.77英镑)。以公司最初声明的价格计算,这家印度创业公司在每部手机上都会亏损150卢比(2.2美元或者1.65英镑)。 |
