In a significant move that’s set to stir the budget smartphone segment, Indian mobile manufacturer Lava introduced its latest innovation – the Lava Blaze 2 5G, offering premium features at a price that doesn’t break the bank.
Priced competitively at just under ₹10,000, the Lava Blaze 2 5G caters to the cost-conscious yet tech-savvy Indian consumer. It presents a captivating 6.5-inch HD+ IPS display that elevates user experience with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, making every swipe and scroll a pleasure. This display brilliance is complemented by a peak brightness of 450 nits, promising clear visibility even under the bright Indian sun.
The performance aspect is equally impressive, with the phone coming in two robust configurations – one with 4 GB of RAM coupled with 64 GB of onboard storage, and a higher variant with 6 GB of RAM paired with 128 GB of storage. At its core, the MediaTek Dimensity 6020 Processor powers the device, boasting an AnTuTu benchmark score that surpasses 3,90,000+, promising seamless multitasking and gaming sessions.
Storage woes are kept at bay, thanks to the expandable storage option of up to 1 TB via a microSD card. The virtual RAM expansion feature, which boosts the RAM to 8 GB and 12 GB on the respective models, is a thoughtful addition for those demanding more from their devices. On the back of the phone, users can also find a ring light that the company mainly claims at a segment first.
Battery life is crucial, and Lava doesn’t disappoint, packing a hefty 5,000 mAh battery complemented by 18W wired charging. Notably, Lava ensures you have everything to get started by including a charger in the box – a rarity in today’s smartphone market.
Camera capabilities are a standout, with a 50MP primary sensor taking the lead. The inclusion of a VGA camera adds versatility, while the 8MP front-facing camera ensures your selfie game is strong. A unique ring light surrounding the rear camera doubles up as a notification alert – a feature that’s not just functional but adds a touch of elegance to the device’s design.
Available in three sleek colors with a classy glass finish – lavender, black, and blue – the Lava Blaze 2 5G doesn’t just perform well but is a style statement in itself. The price for this phone is Rs. 9999.
Moreover, Lava commits to a future-ready device by offering it with Android 13 out of the box and a promised update to Android 14, along with two years of security updates, ensuring your investment is secure.
As Lava Blaze 2 5G enters the market, it is not just a new smartphone but a testament to Lava’s commitment to bringing cutting-edge technology to the masses at an accessible price point. The launch is poised to appeal to the masses and might just be the device that challenges the dominance of international brands in the Indian budget smartphone market.
