The design lab will be tasked to design and make smartphones to give stiff competition to other prominent players in the market. The sources further revealed that the first batch of Made in India phones will be launched in the month of October. The sources further added that the upcoming smartphone will be powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 chipset.
