Lava Blaze Pro 5G

The camera arrangement on the Lava Blaze Pro 5G features an AI-powered 50MP dual-camera setup. The primary camera is set to produce 12.2MP images by default, and the results are quite appealing in well-lit conditions. The details and colours appear well balanced, though not exceptional, in favourable lighting, and the camera effortlessly maintains focus on the subject.Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for low-light cameras. Much like any other budget smartphone, it tends to produce underexposed images with a noticeable amount of noise throughout the frame, even when using night mode. When it comes to selfies and video calls, the phone relies on an 8MP camera. It manages to produce reasonably detailed results, given its price, especially in daylight. Moving on, the device employs computational skills for shooting portrait images with both the front and rear cameras. While the edge detection isn't perfectly accurate, the results are generally pleasing. Additionally, the cameras are capable of recording videos in up to 2k resolution.

The Lava Blaze Pro 5G is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 6020 SoC ticking at its core. This is coupled with 8GB of RAM, which is virtually expandable up to 6GB, and 128GB user-expandable storage onboard with a dedicated slot for a microSD card. While the performance may not be exceptionally fast, you won't encounter any difficulties when performing basic tasks on the device, such as communication, social media browsing, and web surfing.The handset can handle graphically demanding games like BGMI, but the experience is not enjoyable due to performance drops and rising thermals. Light games are more fun to play on this device. When it comes to benchmark tests, the Lava Blaze Pro 5G scored 4,03,481 on AnTuTu and 1,961 on the Geekbench multi-core test. On the CPU Throttle test, the handset performed at 92 percent of its peak performance.The Lava Blaze Pro 5G runs Android 13 right out of the box, presenting a near-stock Android experience with no ads or bloatware, except for Google and Lava apps. It lacks a wide range of customisation options, similar to other smartphones with custom Android skins, but you can easily enable or disable the app drawer, adjust app icons, record screen and calls, among other features. Additionally, the animations may exhibit some jitteriness.

The Lava Blaze Pro 5G has a typical 5,000mAh battery that provides a respectable eight-and-a-half hours of screen time with continuous usage. This is good enough for a phone to last a day and then some between charges depending on your usage. On the PC Mark battery test, the handset returned with a score of 9 hours and 45 minutes.Charging-wise, the Lava smartphone takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes for a full charge using its 33W charger provided in the box.
