Lava has expanded its affordable smartphone lineup in India with the launch of a 4G smartphone, the Lava Smart 4 Plus. Priced under Rs 10,000, the phone is for buyers looking for a large display, long battery life and a clean Android experience without spending much. It also stands out by offering an IP64-rated build and Lava’s doorstep after-sales service.
The Lava Smart 4 Plus is priced at Rs 9,999 for the lone 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. It comes in Nilgiri Blue and Himalayan Silver colour options. As part of the package, Lava is offering its doorstep after-sales service, allowing customers to get service support without visiting a service centre. This remains one of the brand’s key selling points in the budget segment.
The Lava Smart 4 Plus specifications are pretty standard for an entry-level 4G smartphone. It features a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Powering the phone is the octa-core Unisoc 9863A chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The handset also supports virtual RAM expansion of up to 8GB by using available storage. It runs Android 15 Go Edition and Lava has promised two years of security updates.
For photography, the phone gets a dual rear camera setup led by a 13MP primary sensor, while selfies and video calls are handled by a 5MP front camera. The device packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging over a USB Type-C port. Connectivity options include 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.It also carries an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance.
With the Smart 4 Plus, Lava is taking on entry-level smartphones from brands such as itel, Realme and Ai+ with some options giving larger batteries and higher refresh rate displays. If your priority is a clean software experience, dependable battery life and local after-sales support, the Lava Smart 4 Plus could be worth considering. Buyers who want better long-term performance or 5G support may find better value by stretching their budget slightly. But with rising prices, options in the truly budget segment are already limited, so buyers with less flexibility should consider buying immediately.
