Lava is on a launch spree with its new Virat smartphone series. After the Lava Virat V1, Virat V1 5G, and Virat V1 Pro 5G, the company is now launching the Virat Curve in India. As the name suggests, the Lava Virat Curve features a curved display, which adds to the overall viewing experience, making it more immersive.
Lava Virat Curve price in India
Lava Virat Curve is priced at Rs 23,999 for the single 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The smartphone will be available to purchase on Flipkart on September 28th at 7:00 pm. Lava Virat Curve comes in three colours: Heritage Indigo, Makrana Ivory, and Ellora Slate.
Lava Virat Curve specifications
Lava Virat Curve features a 6.67-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) 3D curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,100 nits peak brightness. The highlight is the curved screen, which delivers an immersive viewing experience when watching content or scrolling. The Lava Virat Curve also has a mini display on the rear panel just below the camera sensors. It’s a small pill-shaped screen that shows the logo, volume and battery levels, emoji, custom messages, time, and notifications. This feature adds a fun element to the overall look, and it can also be helpful in checking notifications without having to pick up the phone. It also gives the Lava Virat Curve a unique take among budget phones in the same segment.
Powering the phone is the MediaTek Dimensity 7100, a mid-range chipset designed to provide balanced performance for everyday usage. It’s expected to compete with rivals in the same segment, like OnePlus N6 and POCO M8x. We should know more about its performance once the handset has been reviewed. The smartphone also gets 6GB of virtual RAM for added performance. For photography, it has a single 50MP Sony IMX752 primary camera with 2K @ 30 fps video recording and 10x digital zoom. It has a 13MP front camera for selfies.
The smartphone has a 6,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. The smartphone comes with a 33W charger in the box. This battery capacity should be able to last an entire day with regular usage. While it does seem sufficient, there are phones offering 7,000mAh and even more for those who require more battery life. Lava says that the Virat Curve can deliver 55 hours of talk time, 11 hours of continuous YouTube playback, and up to 720 hours of standby time.
On the software front, the Lava Virat Curve runs Android 16 out of the box. It will get 2 OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates. The handset comes with MIL-STD 810H military-grade durability and IP64 dust and water resistance. It also features an IR Blaster, dual stereo speakers, and dual-mic noise cancellation.
The Lava Virat Curve stands out for its curved design and mini rear display. It also offers well-balanced hardware for a mid-range phone. If you’re looking for a mid-range phone with a curved design, you could go ahead and purchase the Lava Virat Curve. However, if you require a large battery, better cameras, or longer software support, you might want to check out alternatives.
