Lava officially announced the affordable 3G 402+ smartphone

Lava International Limited has officially announced their new budget-segmented smartphone device, the Lava 3G 402+. The smartphone packs a 4 inch WVGA screen and a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, and marks a significant improvement over its predecessor, the 3G 402, which had been launched earlier this year.

We had earlier posted that the device was up for pre-order on Flipkart, but, now Lava have given their official stamp of approval to the device. Lava say that their 3G series of devices aim to provide consumers with ‘the best possible 3G mobile experience at an affordable price’to help them stay connected to their social lives and for easy and fast internet access, and bring 3G connectivity to the masses.

Lava 3G 402+ packs a 4 inch WVGA screen that is powered by a 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 Dual Core processor. A 3 MP primary camera with auto-focus and and VGA front facing shooter are handed imaging responsibilities. The device improves upon the 3G 402 by doubling the RAM to 512 MB and packing in 4 GB ROM, effectively eight times the internal storage of its predecessor which had a meager 512 MB internal storage. Lava say that the improved specs should enhance the gaming experience of titles such as Temple Run which should play with ‘ease and swiftness’, and the improved storage should allow for a significant number of applications to be installed on the device without the dreaded memory low warning from popping-up. The device is powered by a 1500 mAh battery and runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Lava have also introduced some software add-ons such as ‘Shake’ and ‘Keyboard magnifier’ which they claim improve the user experience and enhance productivity. Calls can be answered and disconnected by shaking the phone. Keyboard magnifier, as the name suggests should help while editing the text.

Lava aims to live up to the demands of its consumers by providing them the best 3G enabled devices at affordable prices as a growing number of people feel it is important to stay connected on social networks and utilize 3G mobile interneton the go. With a strong market intelligence, we have now launched 3G 402+ for an enhanced overall user experience....

Mandela memorial service: Mourners gather in Johannesburg.

Tributes have been paid around the world to the former South African president

Tens of thousands of mourners are expected in Johannesburg for a memorial service for Nelson Mandela.

US President Barack Obama and the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will be among those paying tribute.

The service will be held at the 90,000 capacity FNB stadium, where Mr Mandela made his last public appearance. It will also be shown on big screens at three "overflow" stadiums.

The former South African president died aged 95 last Thursday.

The country is observing a series of commemorations leading up to the funeral on Sunday.

The memorial service is likely to be one of the biggest gatherings of international dignitaries in recent years.

Hundreds of people began assembling outside the stadium during the night, the BBC's Joe Winter reports from the scene.

Crowds, many wearing Nelson Mandela t-shirts and South African football and rugby tops, are singing songs from the fight against apartheid, our correspondent adds.

'A mighty life'

The crowds will be addressed by South African President Jacob Zuma and there will be tributes from other heads of state, including US President Barack Obama, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and Cuban President Raul Castro.

Under Mr Castro's brother Fidel, Cuba was a staunch critic of apartheid, and Mr Mandela had expressed gratitude for his support.
