In the last few years Samsung Electronics have emerged as a popular player in the mobile handset segment with its GSM and CDMA models giving market leader Nokia a run for its money. A latest trend among the mobile handset makers is the dual SIM handsets which allow the users to use two SIM cards simultaneously in one cell phone. However, Samsung’s new Dual Sim Mobile models have made things easier for the CDMA phone users who also want to use a GSM SIM without buying two phones. The models unveiled by the company are Duos 259 and the Duos Touch.

As evident from its name, the Samsung Duos Touch has a cutting edge touch screen device that supports a GSM and CDMA connection at the same time. The battery of the Duos touch is a powerful one according to the company and the users of Reliance, Tata Indicom and Virgin Mobile networks will be able to use it. TheSamsung Duos 259 supports nearly all GSM and CDMA mobile services in India. It is a scaled down Dual Sim version and does not have a touchscreen. The camera used in the phone is 1.3 Mp which is pretty rudimentary.

The Samsung Dual Touch mobiles that have been recently launched are priced at INR 6,820 and INR 10,290. The users of Tata Indicom can get 1000 free minutes if they exchange their existing handset with thesemodels. The models bring good news for the CDMA phone users who are still limited to fewer handset choices.

Maxx Mobile Has Grand Plans

The mobile handset and accessory market in India is witnessing rapid growth and this has prompted domestic mobile brands to make heavy investments to make a foray into hitherto untapped markets. Maxx Mobile, based in Mumbai, has announced its aggressive plan to invest a whopping 2500 crore to rev up its business. Ajjay Agarwal, who is the managing director and chairman of Maxx group, has said in a recent statement that the company shall raise the capital by means of equity, bank loans as well as debts. The amount will be spent in activities like brand positioning and capacity expansion.

In the present fiscal the company invested Rs 150 crores. The demand of cell phones and related accessories is only going up with time. Even though the Korean and Japanese companies are doing great business, the scope for domestic players is also huge, mainly among the lower income group of buyers. That explains why Maxx Mobile is about to set up its third manufacturing capacity in Haridwar. The company needs to boost its capacity of making batteries and chargers, as the chairman said. Apart from selling its products in India, Maxx Mobile also exports its products to African countries.

Maxx Mobile has kept the price of its products low to capture the market. Recently it has come into focus after agreeing to act as the sponsor of the ongoing IPL 3. The mobiles made by this company may be affordable but they do not lag in the feature department. The model range of the company would suffice for the basic and heavy users.
