Lava has expanded its curved-display smartphone range in India with the launch of the Lava Aura Curve 5G. The new smartphone combines a curved AMOLED screen, a secondary display on the rear panel and a large battery. It also brings AI-powered software features and a MediaTek Dimensity processor.
The Lava Aura Curve is priced at ₹23,999 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. It is available in Him Silver and Ambar Blue colour options. Lava has confirmed availability through its offline retail network, making local stores the primary purchase channel announced for the device.
The launch follows the introduction of the Lava Virat Curve 5G in September. The two smartphones share several key specifications and design elements, including the rear mini display. This makes the Aura Curve another option for buyers interested in Lava’s curved-screen design.
Lava Aura Curve specifications and display
The Lava Aura Curve features a 6.67-inch full-HD+ 3D curved AMOLED display. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate and offers up to 1,100 nits of peak brightness.
The higher refresh rate should make supported scrolling and animations appear smoother. AMOLED technology can also deliver deep blacks and strong contrast, making the display suitable for video streaming and everyday content consumption.
The phone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset built using a 6nm process. Lava claims an AnTuTu benchmark score exceeding 800,000. However, this is a company-provided figure, and independent testing would help establish how the phone performs in everyday use and demanding games.
The device includes 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It ships with Android 16 and is promised two years of operating system upgrades and three years of security updates.
Rear mini screen, cameras and AI features
One of the Lava Aura Curve’s distinctive features is its small secondary display below the rear camera module. It can show the time, battery status, notifications and custom messages.
This screen offers a way to check basic information without relying entirely on the main display. Its usefulness will depend on how well it fits into everyday routines.
For photography, the smartphone features a 50-megapixel dual AI rear camera setup led by a Sony IMX752 sensor. A 13-megapixel front camera handles selfies and video calls. The megapixel count alone does not establish camera quality, so real-world testing will be needed to assess image processing, low-light performance and video recording.
The handset also includes Lava’s Vayu AI features. These include AI Circle Search, AI Call Summary and AI Voice Translation, with support for 80 languages. Their practical value will depend on accuracy, supported apps and performance in real-world situations.
Battery, charging and durability
The Lava Aura Curve packs a 6,000mAh battery with support for 45W wired fast charging. Lava claims up to 660 minutes of YouTube playback on a single charge. Actual battery life will vary with brightness, connectivity, applications and usage patterns.
The phone carries an IP64 rating for dust protection and resistance to water splashes. It also has MIL-STD-810H build certification. These ratings provide useful durability context, but they should not be interpreted as a guarantee against every type of damage.
What the Lava Aura Curve offers buyers
The Lava Aura Curve brings together a curved AMOLED display, a large battery and a rear mini screen at ₹23,999. Its Android 16 software and promised updates add to the overall package.
However, buyers should also consider the phone’s actual performance, camera results and long-term software experience before making a decision. The shared specifications with the Lava Virat Curve make it worth comparing both models, particularly if availability and purchase preferences influence the choice.
For now, the Aura Curve’s clearest differentiators are its secondary display, curved-screen design and offline retail availability. Independent testing will help determine how well the complete package performs beyond its headline specifications.
