Indian brand Lava is stepping up its game in the budget smartphone segment with the launch of the Lava Blaze AMOLED 2. This new device aims to pack a serious punch in a slim form factor, bringing premium features like a high-refresh-rate AMOLED display and a Sony camera to a very affordable price point.
Big Features in a Sleek Body
Lava is highlighting the “Linea Design” of the Blaze AMOLED 2, claiming it’s one of the slimmest phones in its segment at just 7.55mm thick. While not as thin as some high-end flagships like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it’s an impressive feat for a budget phone that costs around $150. The main attraction is its tall 6.67-inch AMOLED display, which boasts an FHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate—a feature that will make it stand out in the crowded Nigerian market.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. A sizeable 5,000mAh battery keeps the lights on, supported by 33W fast charging.
