Since then, it's been a while since Lava updated the series with new additions. Both the latest Storm devices focus on delivering a solid smartphone user experience, offering 5G and other modern features in the sub-Rs 10,000 price segment. The Lava Storm Play is priced starting at Rs 9,999, while the Storm Lite is priced starting at Rs 7,999.advertisementLava Storm Play and Storm Lite: Price and availabilityThe sale for the Lava Storm Play and Storm Lite 5G starts on June 19 and June 24, respectively.

The Lava Storm Play and Storm Lite bring a decent mix of specs that are quite rare in the budget segment. Starting with displays, both phones come with a 6.75-inch HD+ screen and support up to a 120Hz refresh rate. It's good to see that not just the Storm Play, but even the Storm Lite, which is priced starting at Rs 7,999, also gets a 120Hz panel.advertisementBoth phones run on MediaTek Dimensity chipsets — the Storm Play is powered by the Dimensity 7060, while the Storm Lite comes with the Dimensity 6400. These chipsets are capable enough to handle everyday tasks and provide 5G connectivity, which is still not widespread in this price band.The phones ship with Android 15 out of the box, with a clean stock-like experience and no ads or bloatware — something that budget users will likely appreciate.In terms of memory, the Storm Play comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, while the Storm Lite offers 4GB RAM, paired with either 64GB or 128GB storage. There's support for virtual RAM as well.For photos and videos, both phones feature a dual-rear camera setup, comprising a 50-megapixel IMX752 primary sensor paired with a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. However, the Storm Play has an 8-megapixel front camera, while the Storm Lite has a 5-megapixel front camera.Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, a USB-Type C port, and a 5000mAh battery. The Storm Play supports 18W fast charging, while the Storm Lite offers 15W charging — again, reasonable for the price.

BJP calls Congress ‘factory of fake news'; counters Rahul Gandhi's Make in India criticism with data
NEW DELHI: The BJP on Sunday accused the Congress of spreading misinformation and fake news, calling the party a 'factory of fake news' in response to recent remarks by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on India's economic progress. Amit Malviya, who heads the BJP's National Information & Technology Department, cited seven alleged instances of misinformation shared by Congress over the past two weeks. In a video posted on social media platform X, Malviya claimed that the Congress has repeatedly used doctored videos and fabricated documents to attack the government. 'India deserves an honest opposition, not this circus of deception,' Malviya said, alleging that lies had become the Congress's primary strategy. Targeting Rahul Gandhi, Malviya said the Congress leader invokes Mahatma Gandhi's legacy but does not follow the values the Mahatma stood for, such as truth, non-violence, and national unity. Malviya on Saturday also responded to Gandhi's recent criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India programme. Gandhi had called the initiative ineffective, particularly in creating jobs and boosting manufacturing. Countering this, Malviya shared data claiming a sharp rise in electronics production from Rs 18,900 crore in 2013-14 to Rs 4.22 lakh crore in 2023-24. He added that mobile phone exports had increased 77 times from Rs 1,566 crore in 2014-15 to Rs 1.2 lakh crore in 2023-24, with 99.2% of mobile phones now manufactured in India—up from 26% a decade ago. He further defended the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, stating it attracted investments of Rs 10,905 crore and generated total production worth Rs 7.15 lakh crore. On employment, he said 1.8 lakh new companies were registered in 2023-24—a 16% increase from the previous year.
