Asus ZenFone gets good reception in India
Asus has made further inroads into the Indian market, selling 40,000 handsets of its latest ZenFone in the four days since the smartphone went on sale in the country, thanks to the appeal of its high performance/price ratio.
Xiaomi is slated to roll out its Mi 3 model in the market soon and HTC aims to boost its share of the market to 15% in two years.
Peter Chang, regional head of South Asia and managing director for Asus India, said that the company aims to muscle into the top-five for smartphones, notebook PCs and tablet PCs in the Indian market next year.
Asus is pushing its products in India through both physical and virtual channels, at a ratio of 6:4, the latter via a colaboration with Flipkart, Indias largest e-commerce site.
Flipkart statistics put ZenFone sales at 40,000 units in the first four days after its rollout, ranking sixth place on the market in July.
Xiaomi has also set up a firm foothold in India, the world third-largest smartphone market, and the company is ready to kick off sales of the Mi 3 there soon, at an expected retail-price tag of 13,999 rupees (US$233). Xiaomi is also selling its products via Flipkart.
HTC debuted its high-end model the E8 and medium-end model the Desire 616 in India in the first half of July, eliciting a positive reception from Indian consumers, who favor the appearances of the firms products, according to Chang Chia-lin, president for global sales and chief financial officer. The company garnered 4% in the high-end sector of the market in the first quarter by selling mainly models priced over 20,000 rupees (US$331), double the average price tag of 10,000 rupees (US$165) or lower for the low-end sector.
With functional models priced at 10,000 rupees or lower still boasting 70%-80% of Indias mobile-phone market, demand for smartphones is surging, scoring 175% growth last year. The substantial demand has attracted the participation of all major brands worldwide. By comparison, with its penetration rate already hitting 66%, Chinas smartphone market has become increasingly saturated.
For the moment, the capacity of Indias smartphone market is still rather limited, due to low per capita income, but the potential is large, as Indians favor renowned brands. Apple and Samsung now dominate the high-end sector of the local mobile-phone market, which now accounts for 6%-7% of the entire market.

Nexus 9 goes up for pre order in India on the Play Store
The Nexus 9 has been put up for pre-order on the Play Store in India. India is one of the 22 markets worldwide that will be getting the Nexus 9 on day one.
The Nexus 9 is available in two configurations in India. There is the base 16GB version with Wi-Fi, that is priced at Rs. 28,900, and there is the 32GB LTE model that is priced at Rs. 44,900. The Nexus 9 is only available in the Indigo Black color in India for now.
There is a rather steep price difference between the two models, considering the latter has both, higher storage as well as LTE. Unfortunately, there are no options available for those who might want a 16GB LTE or a 32GB Wi-Fi only model. Not to mention there are no higher capacity models available beyond 32GB. The lack of colors beyond black are also perplexing, although the others could be added later.
Along with the tablet, Google will also be selling the Nexus 9 cover on the Play Store. It is available in Black, Limestone, and Mint Indigo. The cover is priced at Rs. 2,900.

LG G Flex with 6 inch curved display coming to India in February 2014
The Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean-based G Flex is powered by a quad-core 2.26GHz Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) processor with an Adreno 330 GPU, and 2GB of RAM. It features a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera. The G Flex is powered by a 3,500mAh battery, weighs 177 grams, and is 7.9mm at its thinnest, while being 8.7mm at its thickest.
As for the 6-inch curved display, LG has used a curved OLED panel, which is also built on plastic substrates instead of glass, supposedly giving the phone better durability. The display features Real RGB technology to provide all three sub-pixels in one pixel, thereby making it "brighter and more precise."
LG has also included a new self-healing coating on the back cover, an elastic coating that supposedly has the ability to "recover from the daily wear-and-tear scratches and nicks that un-cased smartphones are likely to receive." The LG G Flexs self-healing capabilities have also been creating a buzz worldwide.
Apart from the Rear Keys introduced with the G2, the LG G Flex also incorporates the some new user interface features, such as QTheater for quick access to photos, videos and YouTube from the lock screen; Dual Window for multitasking with two windows; Swing Lockscreen for a dynamic lockscreen image based on the way the phones held; as well as three Rear Key LED indicators - Face Detection, Camera Timer and Urgent Call Alert.
LG launched its first curved display smartphone, the G Flex in October this year with much fanfare, and it was rolled out only in South Korea initially. Recently, the company announced that the LG G Flex was ready for a global roll-out, starting with Singapore and Hong Kong.
