Lava is increasing the range of Virat smartphones in India by introducing the Lava Virat Curve. It comes after the launch of Lava Virat V1, Lava Virat V1 5G, and Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G. This smartphone comes with a sleek curved display screen alongside an innovative mini display on the back panel and also includes mid-range processor and large battery pack along with Android 16 operating system.

Lava Virat Curve is designed for those consumers who look for something distinctive in a smartphone from regular mid-range smartphones with normal display screens. The most striking features are its curved AMOLED display screen and mini display screen at the backside, while others are just ordinary.

Lava Virat Curve Price in India and Availability

Price of Lava Virat Curve in India starts from Rs 23,999. It is only available in one variant of 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage space. This phone is available from 7:00 pm on 28th September onwards through the website of Flipkart.

There are three colors available for this phone: Heritage Indigo, Makrana Ivory, and Ellora Slate. This curved phone is stylish in nature.

Lava Virat Curve Display

The most notable feature of the Lava Virat Curve is the 6.67-inch FHD+ 3D curved AMOLED screen. This screen has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, and it supports the 120Hz refresh rate, thus making scrolling and other actions smoother and allowing some games to be played with an increased performance.

It provides the maximum brightness up to 1,100 nits, which means that the screen is well-suited for video watching in bright places. In addition, the curve at the screen edges gives the phone a more immersive look while consuming multimedia content.

The company has added one more interesting display feature on the back of the smartphone. It is a mini display located on the back of the phone under the rear camera and it is made in the form of a pill-shaped screen, which can display various data such as the Lava logo, volume level and battery status, emojis, text messages, time, and notifications.

MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Powers the Smartphone

In terms of under-the-hood specs, the Lava Virat Curve is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset. It is an efficient mid-range SoC that is built to strike the right balance of everyday usability and efficiency. 6GB of RAM and 6GB of virtual RAM come packed with the phone.

It would only make sense to understand how powerful the smartphone is in terms of gaming and performance after thorough reviews of it. On paper, the Dimensity 7100 chipset brings the Virat Curve in line with the rest of the mid-range smartphones in the same price bracket.

The amount of storage that the launch version comes with is limited to just 128GB.

50MP Sony Camera and 13MP Selfie Camera

In terms of camera, Lava’s Virat Curve comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX752 sensor at the back of the device. This camera can record videos in 2K resolution at 30 frames per second. In addition, the phone has digital zoom that goes up to 10x.

The front of the phone has a 13 MP selfie camera. Rather than incorporating multiple rear cameras in the phone, Lava has opted for a simple camera setup. The real-life performance of the camera, particularly in low light, will depend on image processing software.

6,000mAh Battery With 45W Charging

The Virat Curve boasts of a 6,000mAh battery that is likely to last all through the day under normal conditions. The phone is capable of fast charging at 45W but comes with a 33W charger from the factory.

According to Lava, the smartphone is able to offer 55 hours of talk time, 11 hours of continuous YouTube streaming, and 720 hours of stand-by time. These are according to the testing by the company, and the performance varies based on factors such as network conditions, screen brightness, applications and use.

Those interested in having a phone with as high battery capacity as possible can choose other models of smartphones that are available in the market with batteries of capacities exceeding 7,000mAh. Nonetheless, the 6,000mAh battery of the Virat Curve remains relatively big.

Android 16 and Long-Term Software Support

The Lava Virat Curve has Android 16 pre-installed. According to Lava, there will be two operating system upgrades and three years of security updates for the smartphone.

In addition, the device is built with MIL-STD 810H standard for military toughness along with an IP64 protection against water and dust. Other specifications of the phone include an IR blaster and dual-speaker setup with noise cancellation through dual microphones.

Lava Virat Curve Competition and Verdict

With an asking price of Rs 23,999, the Lava Virat Curve joins the already crowded space of mid-rangers in the Indian market, where buyers are spoilt for choice with several models from known brands. But the two things that set this phone apart are definitely its 3D curved AMOLED display and the rear mini display.

A MediaTek Dimensity 7100 processor, 6,000mAh battery, 120Hz AMOLED display, and Android 16 ensure that the Lava Virat Curve is a complete mid-range smartphone on paper. Still, buyers in search of a phone with bigger batteries, more capable cameras, or better software support can choose other options too.

Lava Virat Curve will launch on Flipkart starting September 28 at 7:00 PM. Whether the unconventional rear display ends up becoming a useful feature or just a design element, only time will tell.
