Lava Agni 5G: This phone should keep you happy for a long time

Not long ago, India’s mobile phone market had a sprinkling of homegrown brands jostling with the established handset makers and quite a few tasted a decent amount of success. Subsequently Chinese brands swarmed the market, effectively edging out the domestic players. Can an Indian mobile phone brand the challenge the existing setup? Recently, a cool, new Lava Agni 5G smartphone—in a unique Fiery Blue sleek body that you would like to flaunt—brought back memories of that era. Company officials say this is the only 5G smartphone completely conceived and manufactured in India and “it aims to set new standards, not just play catch up”.

I have to admit that Noida-based Lava International has always been at the forefront of the government’s Make in India initiative. It was the first mobile brand to set up a design team in India. With this Design in India initiative, Lava claims it’s the only mobile handset company that makes truly Made In India phones with complete control on design and manufacturing within the country. The company has its manufacturing facilities and a repair factory in an approximately 300,000 square feet area in Noida. The manufacturing plants have a capacity of manufacturing 40 million phones per annum.
