Indkal Technologies has announced a partnership with Acer Incorporated to launch Acer-branded smartphones that will be designed, manufactured, and distributed in India. The company has already licensed Acer branding for Acer TVs in India.
The Acer smartphones will be priced between 15,000 to 50,000 rupees, and will launch later this year. The company said that it aims to launch premium-quality products to Indian consumers, featuring robust specifications, cutting-edge hardware and advanced software technologies.
Acer-branded smartphones will be manufactured in India, aligning with the Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. These devices will be available for purchase through both e-commerce platforms and offline retail stores across the country, said the company.
Anand Dubey, CEO of Indkal Technologies, said:
Acer smartphones are something we have been working on for a couple of years and we are ecstatic to finally announce the foray. With Acer smartphones, we are certain that Indian consumers are in for a treat. Our customers will experience exceptionally well-designed smartphones with high end processors, top-notch camera technology and a host of premium features across the range. The best part is that all Acer-branded smartphones will be designed and manufactured in India, which is also a unique achievement for Indkal.
Jade Zhou, VP of Global Strategic Alliances at Acer Incorporated, added:
Since its establishment in 1987, the Acer brand mission has always been to break barriers between people and technology. We are excited that Indkal Technologies will further this mission in India by providing a wide range of smartphones under the Acer brand that expands end-user choices and enrich their experience in the Indian market.
