Lava B8 Vs Nokia X3-02: The Winner is...

Mumbai, Mar 2: Besides its downtrend in international market, Nokia still dominates the Indian handset market. But, in recent times, the popularity has been slightly diminished after the emerge of small scale Indian brands like Micromax, Lava, Maxx Mobiles etc. Nokia has been facing intense competition in India, which is considered as one of the largest market in the world.

Focusing the mid-range consumers, Nokia launched its 'Touch and Type' phones Nokia X3-02 and Nokia C3-01. Also, aiming the low-cost consumers, the Finnish maker unveiled Nokia C1-02 and Nokia C1-01 with 32 GB memory support. But, it seems like Lava Mobiles' new model Lava B8 has outclassed all these models with its affordable price and high-end features.

The comparison between Nokia X302 and Lava B8 may feel annoyance to some readers, as the later is not that much famous brand. But while valuating features on both phones, surely we can consider both as tough competitors in their class. The notable differences on both models is that Nokia X302 offers touchscreen which is absent on Lava B8, but at the same time Lava B8 gives a QWERTY key pad, that is not available on Nokia X3-02.

Nokia X302 can be considered as an affordable social networking phone with its Social Neyworking Integration features that give one-touch access to major platforms like Facebook, Twitter etc. At the same time, Lava B8 is an low-cost 'Business-class' phone with features like Push mail, trackpad and pre-loaded Opera Mini browser.

While Lava B8 offers a 3.2 MP camera with LED flash at rear, Nokia X3-02 has a 5 MP camera. Both models have similar screen size, 2.3-inch, but Nokia's has touch facility.
