Our Bureau

New Delhi , Feb. 4

LG Electronics has announced the launch of two new GSM mobile handsets and a new CDMA handset model - RD 7230- which comes with an inbuilt smart video-cum camera.

Announcing the launch of these new handset models, Mr J.G. Ham, Vice-President, Overseas Marketing Team, LG Electronics, noted that while the CDMA handset will be available exclusively for Reliance India Mobile customers, the GSM models will be available in retail outlets across the country.

Having already captured 50 per cent of the market share in CDMA mobile market in the country, the company expects this to rise along with the increase in mobile subscribers this fiscal. It is the growth in the Indian market that has also propelled LG to the top slot across the world in CDMA handsets, he said.

Mr Ham noted that the CDMA camera that has been launched allows for 40 seconds motion picture clips, still shots and up to nine sequential still shots. It has a 700 photo and 30 video clip memory and 1000 entry phonebook with photo Ids. The pricing of the model will be decided by Reliance Infocomm later, he said.

As regards the GSM phones, he noted that the the G7100, priced at Rs 25,990 is the first ever camera phone with 270 degree spin screen and a slide mounted VGA camera. It comes with a host of features which include inbuilt flash with 65000 colour display, multimedia messaging, java and polyphonic ringtones. The second model G3100 is priced at Rs 9,490.
