Huawei has been geared up to capture Indian device market. I use ‘device’ as they already launched a tablet, two Cloud based Android powered smartphones and a feature phone in November 2011.

Huawei has an eminent presence in the field of CDMA handsets, 3G & EVDO data cards, but mostly the devices are sold via operators. Now Huawei launches factory unlocked (operator agonist) 3G/HSPA data card and a pocket WiFi router at Rs 1800-1900 and Rs 5000 around respectively.

Though I like that Huawei atlast come to open market, which is crowded with Micromax, Lava, ZTE (under Beetel branding) & others but at this price Huawei open market devices can not attract me. Operator locked devices of same specs are available in market at lower price, and unlocking is easy and free in most of the cases. So why should I pay a little extra?

Rise of Samsung: Nokia Trying Hard but nothing happening

Samsung is turning to be arch-rival for top mobile handset companies. After it hits Apple in US with their catchy commercials – ‘The Next Best Thing is Already Here’ Samsung brings the warfront to India. For Samsung India is a crucial market, Galaxy S II arrived India before US launch and at a lower price.

Samsung currently most aggressive player in handset market flooding each price bracket with multiple solutions with Android or Java feature phone. When Nokia came up with Lumia800 Samsung starts its ambush marketing for Omnia W. Feature wise Omnia W is almost similar to Lumia 800 except Omnia has front camera and 8 GB internal memory while Lumia800 has 16 GB internal storage and no front camera.
