A budget 5G phone made for everyday users
Lava has officially launched its new budget smartphone, the Lava Shark 5G, in India. Priced at just ₹7,999, the phone is now available across Lava retail outlets and its online store. This smartphone is designed for people who want 5G on a budget without giving up style and basic features.
Stylish design and practical build
The Lava Shark 5G comes in two stylish colours – Stellar Gold and Stellar Blue. Its glossy back finish gives it a modern look. The phone is IP54 rated, which means it can handle a few splashes and some dust – perfect for daily use by students, first-time users, or anyone looking for a dependable secondary phone.
Display that feels smooth
It has a large 6.75-inch HD+ screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. This makes scrolling through apps and watching videos feel smoother than many other phones in this price range. It’s not full HD, but it still looks sharp enough for social media, YouTube, and chatting.
Built for daily tasks
The Lava Shark 5G runs on a 6nm Unisoc T765 processor. Paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, it handles basic tasks like browsing, watching videos, or chatting with ease. It also supports expandable storage for users who need more space.
This phone runs on the latest Android 15, which brings newer features and better privacy settings. Lava has also promised a clean software experience, free from bloatware.
Camera and battery that get the job done
For photos, you get a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie camera. They won’t win awards, but they are good enough for casual shots, video calls, and sharing on social media.
A big 5,000mAh battery powers the phone, which can easily last a full day with moderate use. Lava includes a 10W USB Type-C charger in the box, which is good to see at this price.
Who is the Lava Shark 5G for?
This phone is clearly meant for users who want 5G without spending too much. Students, senior citizens, and first-time smartphone users will find it easy to use and carry. It’s also a smart pick if you need a reliable second phone that supports 5G.
At ₹7,999, the Lava Shark 5G offers good value with its stylish looks, latest Android version, and 5G support.
