‘FrvrOn’, is a hybrid mobile from Olive Telecommunications using an AAA battery along with standard Li-ion battery. This mobile is launched aiming at country-side people who don’t have steady power supply as, the AAA battery supplies power to the phone when its Li-ion battery runs out of power.
The mobile sports a 1.5-inch, 128 x 128 pixel color display, stereo handset, speakerphone, FM radio and polyphonic ringtones. ‘Arun Khanna’, the chairman of the company, stated that “this phone has been designed keeping in mind the extensive usage of mobile phones nationwide. While the heavy duty urban user will now have the assurance of ‘Non Stop’ telephony; to the rural user, with unreliable electricity supply the phone becomes a regular life-line”.
The Olive FrvrOn will be available at a price of Rs.1699.
