LAVA launches Alpha keypad phone
Lava International Ltd., one of the leading mobile handset brands in the country sets a new standard with its latest innovation. After months of market research and rigorous trials, Lava has succeeded in converting a consumer insight into a path-breaking innovation called Alpha keypad. This innovative key pad is neither traditional Multi-tap nor QWERTY; instead the keys are arranged in ABCD order to provide convenience for the users. The brand has come-up with anew business series handsets featuring the innovative key pad.
With this new innovation, Lava has also marked its entry into the burgeoning segment of business class phones in India. To begin with, it has introduced this unique keypad in its new B2 & B5 handsets. This is the first time that any mobile handset player has been able to offer an option to make life simple for a large segment of mobile users, who were not familiar or comfortable with QWERTY or Multi-tap keypads.
While introducing the innovative Alpha Key-pad, Mr. SN Rai, Co – Founder & Director, LAVA International Ltd. said “Lava always endeavored to introduce consumer insight driven innovations, which make people’s life simple. Last year Lava redefined consumer expectation with the introduction of KKT and A series phones. It took months of rigorous research and consumer trials to conceptualize Alpha Key-pad. We feel Alpha key-pad would further redefine the mobile phone market in a big way.”
“A market study done in the key cities of India to understand usage pattern revealed that there is a large group of consumer who crave for a business class phones but not comfortable in using the same. A further deep dive unfolded that these consumers find the existing QWERTY key-pad cumbersome to use and would be comfortable if the keys are arranged in their known alphabetical order”.
At present estimated 10% mobile handsets sold in India belong to Business class segment with QWERTY keys. Most brands in India have QWERTY keypad phone in the market or planning to come up with. Standing tall in this crowded market, LAVA is the first handset brand which has created a new segment introducing Alpha series phones and intend to capture 10% to 15% market share within this segment. Apart from the alpha key-pad lava also has option of QWERTY key-pad phone.
The concept behind Alpha key-pad phone is to make texting and e-mailing easier and faster. India has the largest number of people using sms and the Alpha keypad will go a long way to empower a very large segment of mobile users. Another benefit is to provide a user-friendly experience to increase adoptability of full key-pad phones at faster pace. The Alpha keypad is meant for those set of people, who are not familiar or comfortable with QWERTY key pad but aspire to have phone like this. Besides, individuals who require one-handed mobility will find this concept more helpful.
Mr Rai further elaborated, “Alpha key pad is one of the fine examples of Lava’s innovation in the Indian mobile handset industry. Very soon we are coming up with few more innovations which would herald a new era in this industry. We remain committed to being the first in deploying innovation & technology in the mobile handsets for consumers in India. With the launch of the new B series phones with Alpha key-pad, we seek to provide consumers with a completely different and comfortable mobile experience that has never been experienced by consumers anywhere.”
Always been the innovation leader, with the Alpha key pad concept LAVA is again establishing itself as the front-runner in consumer understanding. In 2009 when it started its operation it was the foremost company to bring a slew of functionality rich phones with the key benefits of Dual Sim and 30 days battery back-up. Carrying forward the same mission LAVA is coming up with new series of phones, which would rewrite the future of Indian Mobile Industry.

Dual-SIM Mobile Phones Gaining Popularity in India
Demand for mobile phones that can accept two SIM (subscriber identity module) cards has picked up strongly in India, but Nokia, the dominant handset vendor in India, is late to the market.
Dual SIM phones currently account roughly for close to about 15 percent of mobile phones sales in the country, and the market is growing fast, said Anshul Gupta, principal research analyst at Gartner.
Nokia plans to launch its first dual-SIM phone, the Nokia C2, in India in the next few months.
Competitor Samsung said its dual-SIM phones, introduced in the second quarter of last year, will account for 12 to 15 percent of mobile phones sold by the company this year. That's up from about 8 percent of unit sales last year, said Ruchika Batra, a spokeswoman. The company is launching more dual-SIM models this year, she added.
The market is mainly driven by users who want to switch between carriers to take advantage of the best deals, said Gupta. Business and professional users may also use these phones to have a separate mobile number for personal and official calls, he added.
A large number of buyers of Samsung's dual SIM phones use the two SIMs on the phone to switch between network providers if coverage gets patchy, or when they are traveling between cities, Batra said.
The market for dual SIM mobile phones is dominated currently by locally branded phones, and phones from Chinese vendors selling into India, according to Gupta.
Such vendors are providing increasing competition for big-name players like Nokia, which had a 54.1 percent share of the India's 101.54 million-unit mobile phone market in 2009, according to research firm IDC India. The company's share is bound to go down as more vendors enter the Indian market, IDC India said in April.
Indian and Chinese vendors are making inroads at the low end of the Indian mobile phone market by offering a combination of features such as dual SIM, powerful speakerphones and a battery life of up to 30 days, Gupta said. These vendors have stripped some features, like the camera and Wi-Fi, from mobile phones to lower costs, and instead focused on features like long battery life which are so critical in rural markets, he added.
India had 617.5 million [m] mobile subscribers at the end of May, according to data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.
