Comfortable build with a tall display

Vibrant camera shots on a budget
+
The Lava Bold N1 packs a 13MP 1/3.1-inch main camera with PDAF on the rear and a 5MP front camera. Such a camera setup is reasonable for the price, as competing phones like the itel A90 offer a similar camera hardware. The camera UI gets all the basic modes right, such as portrait, night mode, panorama, and a few others.

Performance that gets the job done
+
Powering up the Lava Bold N1 is a 28nm-based Unisoc 9863A processor, paired with up to 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The storage is user-expandable up to 256GB. The chipset here is an entry-level silicon that can run basic apps, such as WhatsApp, Gmail, Instagram, and Chrome. However, this is not without hiccups, as you may at times feel lag while scrolling and delay in opening apps. We tested the Lava Bold N1's raw performance by running benchmarks, which were performed by an in-house testing team. You can find the scores across various apps below.

Impressive battery endurance
+
Powering up the smartphone is a 5,000mAh battery, which supports 10W charging using the in-box charger. To test the battery endurance, we ran the PCMark test on the Lava Bold N1, with the phone taking 9 hours and 21 minutes to drop to 20 percent levels. In this particular test, the phone cycles through various day-to-day applications and programmes such as opening and reading documents, rendering videos and games, scrolling through social media apps, and more.
