NEW DELHI: In a market that is flooded with smartphones priced well below Rs 3,000, homegrown player Lava has launched a 4G-enabled feature phone -– Lava 4G Connect M1 — priced at Rs 3,333.
The handset, which Lava said is India’s first 4G-enabled “smart feature phone”, is powered by 1.2 GHz quadcore processor, 512 MB RAM and 2.4-inch display screen. It has a VGA camera.
Apart from 4G, Lava 4G Connect M1 supports 2G voice calling and EDGE connectivity.
The device will be available across retail stores and multi-brand outlets across India in a few weeks’ time.
“In its endeavour to make aspirational technologies available, Lava has introduced this smart feature phone which brings forth a fast 4G with VoLTE connectivity at an affordable price,” it added.
The handset comes pre-loaded with Facebook Lite and messaging applications. It has a polycarbonate body and 1,750 mAh battery. It features a keypad, instead of a touchscreen display.
“The launch of this smart feature phone, we believe, will create possibilities for users as they will now be able to consume digital content and even do digital transactions,” Lava International Head Product Gaurav Nigam said. (AGENCIES)
