Lava Agni

Lava Agni Review – After a long slumber, the Lava smartphone is back to enter the mid-range smartphone segment. Recently, the company released the Lava Agni 5G smartphone, in which the Agni means fire. This new banger offers some of the exceptional features that you might not get in the regular mid-ranger. Besides this, the phone not only targets the Indian smartphone market but also looking to spread its wings in the global market.

As far as the primary specs are considered, you are getting a decent quality design that renders impressive colors and contrast. Even though it’s an IPS LCD panel. Yet, on the other hand, the powerful processor brings impressive performance experience with smooth software experience. However, if we cover the overall stats of Lava Agni from the competition, there are a few factors that might feel underwhelming. So, let’s start with a detailed review of the Lava Agni 5G smartphone.

Lava Agni Review

Highlights

  1. Under the hood, the phone is powered by 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chipset and Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.
  2. In terms of photography, the company renders a quad-camera setup led by the 64MP primary shooter and offers a 16MP selfie.
  3. Apart from this, the simple and subtle software supports the Android 11 layering.
  4. As far as the front display is concerned, you are getting a 90Hz refresh rate 6.78-inches IPS LCD panel.
  5. The Lava Agni renders a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support for impressive daily usage.

Design and Display

The Lava Agni 5G didn’t have any specific or outstanding design layout that make the phone stand out from the competition. Alongside this, the outdated camera module layout gives a cheap feel. That kind of camera design has already been left from 2020. Although, the color variants are worth noting as you are getting a simple theme layout.

You can purchase this phone in a single Fiery Blue option that may feel underwhelming if you are looking for an alternative shade option. But still, the overall texture and branding placement make the phone looks great. However, it doesn’t mean that the phone grant the premium looks. Yet at the same time, the phone feels a bit bulky and thick due to its built quality.

Now, let’s move toward the front-facing display. Here, you will get a dot-notch display powered by the 90Hz refresh rate and granting an elegant view with a 6.78-inches IPS LCD panel. Whereas, the view experience with this screen would feel a bit average compare to the competition since the phone renders an IPS LCD panel where others offer AMOLED with better brightness nits ratings. Following that, you will get the corning gorilla glass 3 protection.

Memory and Internal

The hardware section provides ample support during regular usage, while there’s no problem with 5G connectivity support. The Lava Agni does not support NFC features, which is quite disappointing for some users. However, the processing speed often feels a bit mediocre as the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chipset goes up to only 2.4GHz cloaking speed. Yet, it can be considered good to some extend.

But if you are looking for an immersive gaming experience it might be hard to get. Still, the phone tries its best to provide the best quality gameplay experience. Even though there’s no additional software layering skin, you will attain robust Android 11 software support. With this setup, you can add up different things in the interface and customize the appearance to some extent.

As far as the internal storage is concerned, you are getting a shared secondary storage unit with a storage option of 8GB RAM support and 128GB internal space. This combination looks perfect, and you didn’t need to worry about anything. With that much storage and RAM, you can seamlessly store media files without being worried about running out of storage.

Camera

The Lava Agni camera performance is great in the daylight situation where the camera can grab the fine details, while the low light photography improves through the night-mode software. The portrait photos precisely handle the depth perception and blur the background to provide an immersive photography experience. The AI software makes sure that the image processing runs well and grants ample UI experience.

The quad-camera features a 64MP primary shooter that works great in every mode. Moreover, you will also get a 5MP ultra-wide lens for wide-angle photos, though, the colors and saturation feel a bit off from the range. But still, there’s a slight hope with the combo of 2MP macro and 2MP depth lens that enhance the dynamic range. Aside from this, you will receive a 16MP dot notch selfie camera setup.

With this setup, you can take a dynamic range of high-quality photos in every situation. Besides this, the native camera application got several amazing modes and features that can capture decent photos. As for the video recording, there’s no information on whether the phone got the video stabilization software or not. But the one thing is to confirm that the phone can record up to 1080p videos without any hassle.

Battery and Others

The battery section of the Lava Agni is worth noting as the users will receive a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery capacity that can easily stay active for more than 5+ hours. The stats can differ a bit according to the usage, but that is the average screen time you can expect from the Lava Agni. In terms of the charging support, the phone offers a 33W fast charger that fuels the phone in less than 45 minutes or even less.

Now, let’s check out the additional features we will get from the Lava Agni is decent sound experience with immersive visual graphic experience. Besides this, you will attain cutting-edge sensor and comms that makes the overall experience good. Speaking of the price point, the Lava Agni arrive at the $280 (Rs 19,999 in India) approx price tag. With this cost, the overall value looks a bit underwhelming.

Conclusion

The Lava Agni is a great phone that offers decent 5G connectivity and fabulous features that make the overall experience good. Apart from the software end, the hardware end will also disappoint you in regular usage, whether it’s about gaming or surfing the internet. Yet, the photography aspect feels a bit average.

However, there’s one thing that confirms that the phone will provide ample battery life. If we have to recommend this phone to you, we will only recommend it for the battery life and processing power. But if you are looking for alternative options, the Xiaomi 11 and Xiaomi 11i are worth noting options in an almost similar price range.
