- Near-stock Android
- Respectable battery life
Cons
- Average cameras
- Limited RAM & storage
- Charging speeds could have been better
Familiar looks, decent display
+
The Lava Shark 5G appears to have drawn design inspiration from its rival, the itel A80 (review). The handset features a squircle camera module on the back, housing two vertically aligned camera rings that protrude slightly. Compared to the itel smartphone, the module is noticeably smaller and sports a standard LED flash instead of a ring flash. However, it is worth noting that the LED flash on the Shark 5G is placed within a subtle glittery ring, which might irk some users due to its off-centre alignment.

Optics are acceptable for the price
+
Coming to the cameras, the Lava Shark 5G boasts a dual camera setup with a 13MP primary sensor and a basic auxiliary lens. The front camera is a 5MP shooter for selfies and video calling. The camera app is fairly easy to use and comes with a variety of modes, including Night, Pro, Portrait, Panorama, and Slow motion. The maximum video support on the smartphone is 4K at 30 fps. While these specs may sound impressive on paper, it's important to keep expectations realistic. As a budget device, the cameras offer simple point-and-shoot functionality, delivering acceptable results for the price.

Solid performance for basic tasks
+
The Lava Shark 5G is powered by the Unisoc T765 SoC, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded by up to 512GB via a microSD card. The RAM can also be expanded virtually (up to 4GB) using a portion of the phone's storage to run more apps simultaneously. Despite being a budget chipset, the Unisoc T765 brings 5G connectivity to the table, supporting sub-6GHz bands compatible with networks like Airtel, Vi, and Jio. The smartphone also comes with dual-band Wi-Fi support, which isn't the case with every device within the segment.

Reliable backup
+
The Lava Shark 5G packs a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging speeds, which is justifiable for the price. A compatible charger is provided in the box that takes more than two and a half hours to juice up the device from 20 to 100 percent. This is on par with the competitors. Be that as it may, you may not need to recharge the smartphone to get you through the day with basic activities.
