A phone dedicated to Narendra Modi...

A group of Indians hailing from the state of Gujarat and now living in China, have innovated and are manufacturing a phone dedicated to Gujarat Chief Minister and now BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. Called the Smart NAMO Saffron 272+, this mobile phone has a 5 inch touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 2, 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and a 13 MP camera. It runs on the Android platform 4.2.1 (according to their Facebook page) and is going to have 16 or 32 GB on-board storage. The phones will come in boxes with tri-colours on them and will be available all over the country.

We have already seen some NAMO merchandise, such as T-shirts and coffee mugs with Narendra Modi’s picture on them. But a phone named after the current Gujarat CM, takes the game to the next level. This just shows that gadgets will be a huge part of the upcoming 2014 election affair in India. But how many parties will pick it up, is yet to be seen. At the moment, this phone seems to be the only tech innovation labelled with a political figure. The phone will retail for Rs 16,000 and we have a hunch it will come with Narendra Modi’s wallpaper and a few NAMO apps as well.
