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.

Fujitsu seeking an entry to Smartphone market in India

Fujitsu has undoubtedly a very good market reputation worldwide for digital cameras, video recorders and other camera optics related accessories but who would have guessed that one day Fujitsu would be interested in making mobile phones.

Although we are not sure whether their products are good or bogus but still I expect them to show some real flare via their handsets because without something new and original, they are just going to end up like Lemon or Pine or GeeFive, nameless and identity less.

We have come to know that Fujitsu has embedded their skills in photography and optics to mobile phones. Yeah! Surprisingly one of their phones has a 12.2 MP camera. This sounds familiar as recently revealed Nokia N8 and Spice S-1200 also have a 12.2 MP Camera.

Fujitsu has also customized their phones’ user interface called NX to make them exclusive. Some of its phones have chosen one of the most reliable operating system in this universe; you guessed it – Android OS.

Fujitsu cell phones are also made compatible with Indian environment due to addition of water-resistant and dust resistant body, display screen and keypad.

We have heard of phones that have dual input methods – touchscreen and QWERTY keypad, Nokia N97 Mini for example. We have also seen phones having triple input methods, touchscreen, QWERTY keypad and optical trackpad, Motorola Charm but have you ever heard of detachable phones?

Fujitsu has come up with this new idea to make detachable phone, I am not sure the reason why they are so intrigued about that but surprisingly this can make their phones work like two separate devices.

You can use phone like flip phone with keypad and then remove the keypad to have a smart, sleek and slim touchscreen device. Now that is something, I must say.

Finals Words for Fujitsu Mobile Phones

Companies today are spreading their names in everything they can; it won’t surprise me if Nokia comes up with its own tablet PC in a few months.

So, it is not a big deal if Fujitsu have decided to storm the smartphone sector.

When Creative, a brand known specifically for creating audio systems and headphones can create an Android Tablet PC for itself, anything is possible.

I have no idea what future holds for Fujitsu smartphone but one thing is for sure, if Fujitsu mobile phones are launched in India, they are going to face some real competition.

Maxx launches two new feature phones

After manufacturing of mobile phone batteries and chargers, MAXX Group is now all set to start handsets manufacturing in India by March 2012.

For the handset manufacturing, the company will raise funds through internal accruals and bank loans, Agarwal informed. The handset manufacturing will start from its second unit located in the same campus in Haridwar. He added that the second unit is also based in Haridwar due to the tax benefits offered in the state of Uttarakhand.

“We are strongly focusing on developing and manufacturing technology products that are value for money to customers. Also we are strongly focusing on after-sales support to customers,” he stressed.

Presently, the group is bringing handsets to India market from China under a contractual manufacturing from a local vendor.

However, MAXX has overall strength of 3500 people here with a dedicated team of 550 people including 40 technical and engineering staffs who are involved in the mobile phone business.

The Haridwar unit has an installed capacity of making 8.8 crore units of batteries and 3.25 crore units of chargers annually.

From Rs.. 5 crore sales revenues in 2005-06, the group’s sales jumped to Rs.. 52 crore in 2007-08 as it undertook sale of accessories. Two years later, the group formed MAXX Moblink Private Limited (MMPL) for research and development as well as marketing and distributions of mobile handsets.

While the MAXX mobile brand is quite popular in the market with substantial number of customers in the low-mid range price segments, Agarwal informed that the group is developing products across platforms including Android and it will launch new Android-based models in the next quarter.

However, in terms of demands, Agarwal pointed out that there’s high demand of music phones, and, as a result close to 95 per cent handsets of MAXX comes with memory cards embedded with audio and video music content under a partnership with Hungama.com.

With strong focus on India market, the group has been successful in reporting 20-25 per cent growth year on year. “We are targeting a 6 million unit sales of mobile phones with revenues around Rs.. 800 crore for fiscal 2011-12,” Agarwal said.
