Once a popular brand, Lava lost its momentum to Chinese rivals like Xiaomi and Oppo. However, the Indian brand has started to pick up again with the launch of several impressive mid-range and budget smartphones. Recently, the company has been teasing the launch of a new handset, called Lava Blaze 2. It was found listed on Amazon India earlier today and in a recent development, a tipster has shared its key specifications, pricing, and renders.
The original Lava Blaze 5G debuted in
India towards the end of 2022 and we noted in our review that the handset
outperforms its rival in some areas. Its successor, the Blaze 2, is expected to
be even better with an improved design and features. According to Tipster Mukul
Sharma, the handset will be powered by the entry-level Unisoc T616 processor,
paired with 6GB RAM (plus 5GB virtual) and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage.
Lava Blaze 2 is reported to flaunt a
6.5-inch panel with an FHD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The smartphone
gets a flat display with a punch-hole cutout that houses an 8MP selfie shooter.
On the back, the smartphone features two large rings housing the camera
sensors. The primary camera is 13MP and there’s also an AI shooter. The
smartphone is said to be fueled by a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W
charging.
Sharma says the Lava Blaze 2 will be
priced in India under Rs. 10,000. It will likely be available for purchase in
Glass Orange, Glass Black, and Glass Blue colors. While there’s no official
confirmation yet, the smartphone is expected to arrive sometime in April. We
expect a launch announcement pretty soon. Stay tuned.
