      Everybody knows the reality of assembling the phones in India :P

        Since internet is moving towards decentralisation it's high time we support such verified sideloads.

              Your probably one of those delusional folks I guess, but good for you!

Why would someone download side loaded apps, that could do more damage, just for the convenience of playing videos or music in the background?

                  [deleted post]Oh okay I guess that requires installing it from outside play store. Thanks for suggesting tho

                    any phone brands should start from low end first, make a big promotion, lower the price than competitors, give all package in the box so people will like it and decent software support.

                        Hope they succeed. I would recommend consolidating SKUs and releasing few quality products instead of trying to SKU spam like Chinese companies

                          I've never heard of this brand before.

                            [deleted post]There's nothing wrong with an Indian wanting to buy a phone made by an Indian company. Personally I buy whatever has the specs I want regardless of the manufacturer but I'm not going to condemn someone for wanting to help a company of their own country

                              Bro try Vanced or Newpipe you'll be getting the same feature and more

                                I hope they succeed. More power to them 🙏

                                  might buy a lava smartphone for youtube background music playback feature. Only my previous blackberry phone had this
