- Lava International is already manufacturing smartphones for Nokia in India
- The company has reportedly joined hands with HMD Global for the supply chain as well
Lava International has now joined hands with HMD Global to manufacture Nokia smartphones in India. The company has already started manufacturing phones in the country for Nokia. Reports claim that Lava has joined hands with HMD Global on the supply chain front as well. HMD Global is currently only selling made-in-India Nokia phones and this partnership should further extend the initiative and take it in the right direction. Lava claims that it has a production capacity of 30 million to 45 million feature phones. It is said to be in talks with more brands (including Motorola) for a similar arrangement. Lava, which once was one of the top smartphone brands in India had lost its way with the entry of brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and others.
Nokia 2.4 was launched in India earlier today. The phone comes with a 6.5-inch HD+ display, a 20:9 aspect ratio, 1,600 X 720 pixels resolution, and a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera.

The phone runs on Android 10 OS with near-stock UI and has a physical fingerprint sensor on the back for security. There is a dedicated Google Assistant button for easy search.
Moving to cameras, the Nokia 2.4 has dual cameras at the back consisting of a 13MP primary sensor with an LED flash and a 2MP depth lens for portrait shots. There is a 5MP snapper on the front for selfies and video chat. Connectivity features include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/GLONASS, and micro-USB port for charging. A 4,500mAh battery with standard 5W charging support fuels the phone. The Nokia 2.4 is priced at Rs 10,399 and comes in Dusk, Fjord, and Charcoal colour options.
