Even bigger Innovation – Upgrade to suit your needs post purchase
Innovative customisation doesn’t stop here. Lava has solved a yet another major pain point of the consumers. As the usage pattern of the consumer changes, they want to upgrade their phones with a higher RAM/ROM specification.
When the consumer is left with no option but to buy a new phone with a higher feature set and is forced to spend the full cost of a new phone.
With Lava’s Z-up, customers can upgrade their phone’s RAM and ROM by visiting a Lava service centre. For on-the-spot upgrade, customers can pre-book their appointment at a service centre near them. Upgrading phones will be possible, by paying only an incremental charge for upgraded components with an hour.
“With this unique innovation, we will save customers’ money, avoid the hassle of transferring data to a new phone, while ensuring environmental safetyand offering protection from e-waste. We firmly align ourselves with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Make in India and an Atmanirbhar Bharat with zero defect and zero effect”, Sunil Raina added
