Bangalore: Indian mobile phone maker LAVA has released the A10, a touchscreen phone for 
5,500 that has advertises a few baits to get people hooked.
First and foremost is its 3-inch IPS (In-Plane Switching) screen; the type of screen that is used in the Apple iPhone 4 or even the iPad. What it bets on providing is a superior image and a 178 degree wide viewing angle. What they haven't mentioned is the screen resolution, as this is a major contributor to the iPhone 4's display quality.
But considering it is an inexpensive phone, we wouldn't imagine it to be above a QVGA or 320 x 240 pixels. Also, there's no clarity over whether this is a capacitive or resistive type - but the words "Multi-touch" in the description makes us believe (and hope) that it is the former.
Commenting on the launch of A 10, SN Rai, Co Founder & Director, LAVA International Ltd., said, "LAVA has always been a trend setter in the consumer insight driven innovations. Introduction of the touch screen phone with IPS Technology will carry the same trend forward. As screen is a very important element in a touch phone we have introduced IPS in A10 to provide a premium display experience to our customers."
It's got a 3.2 mega-pixel camera with Flash, a Yamaha PA system (that should promise us loud decibels of sound from the speaker-phone, if not the "great quality" as mentioned) and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Another feature which caught our eye by surprise is the "Map my India" maps built-in, but there's no GPS chip mentioned anywhere so turn-by-turn navigation's out of the question. There are a couple of games pre-installed and a G-sensor for motion based gaming. Lastly, a microSD card slot supports up to 16GB of memory.
