Submission statement: North Korean smartphone brand Phurunhanal Electronics appears to have sourced one of its latest phones from the Indian company Lava International. This represents the first time a phone on sale inside North Korea has been linked to a non-Chinese manufacturer.
The smartphone market inside the country has expanded quickly in the last three years with many new brands coming to the market. Sometimes, competing brands appear to be selling the same or very similar models. Phurunhanal likely went to Lava for a unique model, or because it offered a better price than Chinese manufacturers.
As the North Korean smartphone market becomes more competitive, more companies are likely to expand their global sourcing networks.

India and North Korea’s relationship is basically 2 guys who nod at each other every couple of years.
Well that’s most countries relationship with North Korea but it’s particularly funny in this instance.
