Lava Z6 Review
Highlights
- With the 6.51 inches screen, all entertainment will come to life on the 720p resolution screen.
- The Android 10 OS operates within the system.
- On the other hand, Lava Z6 driving force from MediaTek Helio G35 is a blessing.
- In terms of the camera, the rear panel comes with a 13 MP main camera while there is a 16 MP selfie camera on the front.
- The Li-Po 5000 mAh battery gives long battery life.
Design and Display
The plastic cover on the back of the Lava Z6 smartphone with blue and red makes the phone look beautiful. The tall 6.51 inches phone has a 720p resolution that brings every HD movie to life. It is also available in red and blue colors. There is no concern about falling from the hand because the screen is protected from gorilla glass 3. The phone looks more practical when it is in your hand.
The camera part acquires a smaller space. The fingerprint reader is on the back and works very faster. There is also a single speaker at the back. The colors are vibrant and overall, it is very comfortable to hold at just 9 mm thick. The screen recording feature integrated into the interface, which is very new, allows you to easily record your screen whenever you want.
Memory and Internal
Lava is still not providing the latest OS, you will get Android 10 with the Lava Z6 smartphone, although it provides moderate performance. On the other hand, the processor chipset is one of the most significant features of this phone. It comes with a 2.3 GHz processor on the 12 MediaTek Helio G35 chipset, this is a mind-boggling feature for the Lava Z6. The PowerVR GE8320 graphics unit allows for a good gaming experience. Another interesting thing is its 6 GB RAM which is rear for other smartphones. It gives you a lot more to do with the 64 GB internal memory. You are always free to add more with the dedicated MicroSD card.
Camera
In the Lava Z6 smartphone, the rear panel is designed with a triple camera with an LED flashlight on the side. There is a triple-camera board that comes with a 13MP main camera, a 5MP depth camera, and a 2MP macro lens with LED flash. It is interesting to know that the selfie camera is better than the main camera because the 16 MP sensor at the front offers much more flexibility with the image.
As this is a low-budget phone, we can’t expect much from the Lava Z6 smartphone, but the selfie camera is sure not going to disappoint you. You can create any social media video using both cameras at 1080p resolution.
Battery and Others
The Lava Z6 phone has a huge Li-Po 5000 mAh battery that will last more than 6 hours of screen time. In fact, the battery will last more than 1 day in moderate use. It is quite a large battery which is common in low-budget phones. It also comes with a normal charger, although it is not fast charging.
If you’re thinking about the price, let’s say it costs around $ 139 (Rs 10,000) with 1 year of free screen replacement. This is good because you get a fair price in addition to fulfilling your satisfaction.
