Highlights

- The chipset inside the smartphone is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G SoC, which is capable of reaching clock speeds of 2×2.4 GHz.
- The Lava Blaze X smartphone arrives with Android 14 out-of-the-box with a clean stock user interface.
- The Lava Blaze X smartphone has a 64MP dual rear camera system, while the selfie camera has a 16MP sensor.
- The phone has a 5000mAh battery with 33W wired fast charging support.
Design and Display
The Lava Blaze X has a curved design from both the front and the back, which not only gives it a premium appearance but also makes it more comfortable in the hand. This was quite surprising considering the budget price tag of the phone. The body of the smartphone is solid and there’s no creaking or bending of any sort.
There’s a huge circular camera module on the rear panel and it certainly adds to the charm of the phone. All the buttons are on the right side of the phone, so right-handed users will find it easy to navigate around them. The smartphone is available in Starlight Purple and Titanium Grey.
The Lava Blaze X also has an extremely bezel-less display with uniform bezels all around. Speaking of the display, the new smartphone features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with support for 120Hz high refresh rate. This display comes with an FHD+ resolution, so the pictures will appear sharper and it will be a pleasure to watch video on it. Other manufacturers are providing only HD+ screens at this price bracket.
Memory and Internal
Lava equipped the Lava Blaze X with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset, which is capable of reaching a clock speed of up to 2×2.4 GHz. In terms of performance, the chipset will launch any app or game quickly without any issues. The performance is decent and appears quite smooth due to the effective use of the 120Hz refresh rate.
Its gaming performance is also quite decent and will take care of most of your gaming needs. Playing games such as PUBGm, Summoners War, and CODm won’t be a problem. Even Genshin Impact will run but don’t expect the best performance. The smartphone also supports 5G connectivity for gigabit speeds and lower latency, which should help in online gaming.
Also, there’s no overheating of any sort in everyday usage, so that’s not something that you should worry about. The smartphone also comes with Android 14 out of the box with a clean stock user interface for the best experience. Lava mentioned they are working on the update to Android 15, which should come to Lava Blaze X as soon as it’s ready. As for memory and storage, the Lava Blaze X is available for purchase with up to 4GB/8GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of fast UFS 2.2 internal storage. You can also expand the storage later with the microSDXC expansion slot.
Camera
The Lava Blaze X features a 64MP dual rear camera setup. The primary rear camera consists of a 64MP sensor that is capable of taking some decent shots. The detail levels are good enough for most use cases and the color tone also appears naturally most of the time. The picture quality is comparable to other smartphones in the same price range.
The second camera in this smartphone is a 2MP macro camera, which is useless and is there in the phone just for the show like other phones. However, considering the price of the smartphone, it’s acceptable. On the front, the smartphone has a 16MP selfie camera that can capture some decent selfies that are good enough to post on social media platforms. When it comes to video recording, both the rear and selfie cameras can shoot videos at a maximum resolution of 1080P@30FPS. There’s no OIS or EIS stabilization for video recording.
Battery and Others
The Lava Blaze X is powered by a high-capacity Li-Po 5000 mAh battery that can keep it running for 1 – 3 days with light to medium usage, which includes a camera, music, and a bit of social media. But if you are a heavy user or play a lot of games, the battery won’t last that long. Also, if you use 5G to play games or download movies, the battery will drain even faster.
However, there’s support for 33W wired fast charging that can fully charge the smartphone in around 2 hours. Apart from that, the smartphone has support for dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, an under-display fingerprint sensor, OTG, and a USB Type-C connector for charging. The smartphone is available in India for $180 (Rs 14,999 in India) approx.

Conclusion
The Lava Blaze X smartphone has provided what other smartphones have been failing to do in the budget market and that is providing a compelling and attractive smartphone. The Blaze X has a fantastic design with a curved display, which will attract a lot of attention the moment you turn the screen on. No other phone has such a bezel-less curved display in this price range.
The curved design is the main selling point of this and Lava took the opportunity to provide a fantastic display that is color-accurate and looks very pleasing. The gaming performance is also decent and can run many games at decent performance levels. The phone also has a large battery that will keep up with the processing needs and still deliver a solid battery life. The camera is also good enough for the price tag and will not disappoint you.
All in all, it’s a solid smartphone, and judging by the specs it has, the pricing is decent. It’s a clear recommendation from our side but the smartphone is not available globally. So, for our global fans, we recommend the Vivo T3x, which is also a decent smartphone for a good price, but no smartphone can match the unique attributes of the Lava Blaze X. However, the final decision is up to you, so it is better to choose a smartphone based on your needs and requirements.
