Lava launched its latest smartphone dubbed Blaze in India. The phone comes with an elegant design and premium features to attract young Indian customers. At only Rs. 8699, this Indian-made smartphone offers great things like a glass back design – a first in the sector – MediaTek processor, 3GB (+3GB of RAM), triple 13MP rear cameras, fingerprint scanner, and unlocking face to improve security, among other things. Pre-booking for the Lava Blaze has started from July 7, 2022, and pre-booked customers will have a chance to win free Lava Probuds 21 wireless earbuds. Still not convinced of what makes this smartphone loadable? Read on to find out.
Attractive design and great screen
Lava Blaze comes with a luxurious looking smooth glass back panel with smooth edges. According to the company, it is the first in its class to feature a glass back, which is usually available in premium phones. Its glossy finish also provides a reflective surface, making it more attractive. The back panel also hosts a fingerprint sensor along with the camera module. Adding to the appeal is the availability of the phone in green, black, red and blue colours.
The smartphone features a 6.5-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 20:9 and a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels. This results in sharp images and the small notch in the middle for the front camera adds to the immersive experience. It is a flat screen with exquisite finishes that provides a great visual experience from every angle.
powerful device
When accessing the hardware, the Lava Blaze is powered by the MediaTek processor. The SoC comes with a class-leading IMG PowerVR GE GPU, ensuring smooth performance while running heavy applications or playing casual games. For smooth multitasking, the phone comes with 3GB of RAM. But what is impressive is the fact that Lava offers virtual RAM functionality with its latest hardware. The default RAM is usually available in mid-range phones, and another 3GB of RAM comes to the Blaze.
Take care of your storage needs with the built-in 64GB memory. It is expandable up to 256 GB with the help of a microSD card.
Versatile cameras
For photography, there is a triple camera setup on the back of the Lava Blaze which consists of a 13MP camera with a wide f/1.8 aperture, a 2MP depth sensor, and a VGA camera. Besides being able to shoot the usual scenarios, the rear camera is loaded with different shooting modes like Night, Portrait, Beauty and Macro with a combination of AI to artificially enhance photos and videos.
On the front, there is an 8-megapixel camera for selfies. The front camera also supports face unlock for improved security.
Strong battery life and more
The Lava Blaze gets fuel from a powerful 5,000mAh battery that lasts long enough to get you through the day without charging.
The one thing the phone doesn’t follow in the footsteps of premium smartphones (thankfully) is that it comes with a 3.5mm audio jack. Other connectivity features include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 5.0 and GPS + GLONASS.
On the software side, the Blaze comes with Android 12 out of the box. This means that you get the latest Android experience along with security patches. Furthermore, the company also promises two years of security updates for its latest offering.
How Lava sweetens the deal even more
As we mentioned at the beginning, Lava has announced some exciting launches for Lava Blaze. The first 1,000 customers who pre-order the phone will get free Lava Probuds 21 wireless earbuds.
