Lava Blaze Curve 5G 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Lava Blaze Curve 5G is a compelling buy for anyone looking for an affordable smartphone. Apart from offering a vibrant display and stereo speakers, the handset also flaunts an attractive design, dependable performance, and reliable battery life. The phone's cameras may not rank among the best, but that should not deter users whose main priority lies outside of photography.
Pros
- Attractive design
- Vibrant display
- Dependable performance, clean UI
- Reliable battery life
Cons
- Cameras could have been better
- Slightly dated software
Design and display
+
The Lava Blaze Curve 5G likely earns its name from its curved screen design, which helps it stand out among the sea of flat-screen smartphones within the segment. This feature not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to a sleeker profile compared to its counterparts, albeit making it slightly slippery to hold. The latter could be countered with a case. The rear panel of the smartphone features a glass layer atop a plastic chassis. The glass has a matte finish, providing a premium look and feel while effectively repelling fingerprints and smudges.The power button and volume rockers are placed on the right spine of the phone and are accessible without resorting to finger gymnastics. As for I/O, the handset sports a USB Type-C port on the bottom for charging and data transfer alongside the speaker grille. The speaker on the top edge helps provide stereo output. The audio gets quite loud, although it does lack crispness at maximum volume. For security, the handset boasts an in-display fingerprint scanner. Barring the position which feels a bit too low, I didn't face any other issues with the scanner, which takes a fraction of a second to unlock the device.The Lava Blaze Curve 5G sports a centre punch-hole 6.72-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 800 nits peak brightness. The bezels might not be razor-thin, but they don't interfere with the overall viewing experience, which is pretty impressive for the price. The colours look vibrant and contrasty, with deep blacks. The handset is Widevine L1 certified, meaning it can stream content in FHD resolution from streaming platforms.The accidental touch niggles usually associated with curved screens are present, but don't significantly hinder your experience. What may hinder your experience is the relatively low sunlight legibility. You might have some trouble reading text on the screen under direct sunlight.

Cameras

The Lava Blaze Curve 5G camera setup includes a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro unit. The images are not particularly impressive but should suffice for casual users, especially the ones shot in well-lit environments. While the dynamic range may appear underwhelming, the colour calibration looks good. Additionally, the handset often overexposes shots, resulting in fuzzy details. The ultrawide images offer a wide 120-degree field of view but suffers from colour distortion and reduced sharpness. The 2MP macro sensor also doesn't provide promising results. In averse lighting conditions, the camera performance deteriorates, making it a less than ideal choice for photography. The front camera of the phone has a 32MP sensor for selfies and video calling. It captures images with good exposure to facial details and near-accurate skin tones. Additionally, portraits turn out well, displaying a nice depth of field and likeable edge detection.

Performance and software

The Lava Blaze Curve 5G performs admirably, owing to its MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC, 8GB of RAM, and either 128GB or 256GB storage onboard. Since there is no microSD card slot on the device, storage needs to be considered beforehand. The handset achieved 5,75,509 on AnTuTu. Additionally, on Geekbench, it returned a score of 1,103 points on the single-core test and 2,628 points on the multi-core test. These are respectable benchmark scores for a sub-Rs 20,000 smartphone and also outshine those from its competitor, the Redmi Note 13.Everyday usage is a breeze on this smartphone. The Lava Blaze Curve did not stutter or freeze while scrolling, browsing, and multitasking. As for gaming, the handset successfully handled graphically-intensive games such as Call of Duty, BGMI, and Real Racing 3 with moderate graphics settings. There was a minor spike in temperature, roughly five degrees after every game, which is acceptable given it is not a performance-centric smartphone. The CPU Throttle test, with 50 threads for 30 minutes, shows the smartphone can run at 89 percent of its peak performance when stressed. This means that the handset should run fine even under strenuous load.The Lava Blaze Curve 5G runs Android 13 OS out of the box. The platform might be a bit dated, but you get close to stock Android experience with no third-party apps pre-installed. Even the proprietary Lava apps are limited. Additionally, the lack of ads and push notifications makes the device easy to use and navigate. The handset is expected to receive at least two major software updates, with the Android 14 update expected later this year.

Battery and charging
+
Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. A compatible charger is provided in the box, which can refill a nearly empty battery to 100 percent in a little over an hour. After a full charge, the handset can last a full day. Running our 4K YouTube test with 50 percent brightness and volume level for half an hour only resulted in a 5 percent drop in battery. The handset achieved a healthy score of 16 hours and 39 minutes on the PC Mark battery test.
