Lava eyeing a comeback with five budget smartphones launching in November: Sources

Lava Mobiles is preparing to launch as many as five new smartphones in India sometime in November. The company is reportedly expanding its portfolio to go up against the likes of Xiaomi, Realme and Vivo that dominate this particular phone segment. Lava currently offers phones in the entry-level segment that are priced under Rs 8,000. However, according to industry sources, Lava will launch five new budget smartphones under different price points.

The company is aggressively expanding its portfolio and will launch four new budget smartphones in India along with a Designed in India phone, something Lava is focused on from the last year, said sources in the know of the development. 

The upcoming phones by Lava will target different budget ranges so you can expect the new phones to be priced under Rs 6,000, between Rs 6,000-Rs 8,000 and Rs 8,000-Rs 10,000, the sources added. There is also expected to be a phone priced above Rs 10,000 from Lava Mobiles along with a new product under a different category.

Lava hosted a Design in India Challenge, back in July this year, inviting students and professionals to design and prototype a smartphone in India under the government’s Make in India initiative. We will likely see a “Designed in India” phone released by Lava very soon.

Lava Pulse

Lava recently launched a feature phone, Lava Pulse that’s said to be the world’s first phone equipped with a heart rate monitor and blood pressure sensor. The company has previously also launched a couple of entry-level phones such as the Lava Z66, Lava Z61 Pro and more. That said, the company is looking to make a comeback in the budget segment as are many erstwhile Indian smartphone makers like Micromax and Karbonn.

Both the companies are rumoured to be developing “Made in India” smartphones and are expected to launch them in time for the Dusshera and Diwali festivities that kick off from October. We expect to see more developments in the coming weeks as Indian phone makers are vying for a comeback in the budget phone segment in India.

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
