What's Special About Lava Yuva Star 2?

Display

At this price, a big 6.75-inch HD+ display with a silky 90Hz refresh rate is a luxury. Most of the phones available below ₹7,000 retain 60Hz panels, but Lava is upping the ante by delivering a smoother user experience be it scrolling through social media, reading news, or watching videos.

This larger screen also makes it appropriate for elderly people, children, and users requiring a comfortable viewing experience at an affordable price.


Performance

Under the hood, the Lava Yuva Star 2 is powered by an Octa-core UNISOC processor, which is optimized for daily activities such as calling, texting, browsing, and casual apps like YouTube Go, Facebook Lite, and WhatsApp.


Pairing it with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and another 4GB of virtual RAM, the phone provides smoother multitasking without lag. It's ideal for those needing reliability rather than sheer power.


The Lava Yuva Star 2 comes with Android 14 (Go Edition) pre-installed a lightweight build of Android meant for low-power devices. It promises quicker app launching, less background usage, and fewer bloatware components. Users have a clean, stock Android interface with security and feature updates optimized for light usage. It is also less power-hungry, providing greater battery life.



Battery and Charging

A 5,000mAh battery at this price is a massive bonus. Whether streaming music, watching YouTube, or taking online classes, this battery will easily last you an entire day or more.

The 10W wired charger that comes in the box might not be fastest in the class, but it's more than adequate considering the price and tuned software.


Cameras

  • 13MP primary rear camera with options such as HDR, Panorama, and Auto Focus offers good results under daylight.

  • 5MP front camera captures simple selfies and video calls easily. Front video is limited to 720p, which is acceptable at this range.

The rear camera does 1080p Full HD video recording at 30fps, which is uncommon in this range and sufficient for amateur content creators or students joining online meetings.


Storage

The phone has 64GB of internal storage, which is quite spacious already. But Lava goes further with a dedicated microSD card slot, where expansion of up to a whopping 1TB is possible.


The phone is thus a great choice for media packrats, students downloading study materials, or rural users that don't have access to cloud services.



Dual Security

Lava Yuva Star 2 offers both a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and face unlock, features not often seen together at this price point. Both biometric options improve security and convenience for varying user preferences.


Dust/Water Resistance

In spite of its budget price, the phone has a glossy finish that makes it appear premium. Additionally, the phone does have some amount of dust and water resistance, which is an added feature for customers in varied climates or working environments. Lava is also providing Free Service at Home, so that customers need not go out of their way to seek assistance from service centers.


Audio & Multimedia

The phone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is still a pre-requisite for most users in this category. Combined with FM Radio support, this phone completes the entertainment needs of rural and semi-urban users who make do with radio broadcasts.



Availability

Lava Yuva Star 2 is available offline only, which means you can visit nearby retail stores and experience the device before purchasing. It comes in two attractive colors:

  • Radiant Black – Sleek and modern

  • Sparkling Ivory – Clean and elegant


The Lava Yuva Star 2 is a great option for anyone new to the smartphone experience. It's particularly excellent for students and online students who require a dependable phone for coursework, browsing, or communicating with teachers and peers. Older adults will enjoy its big, easy-to-read screen that provides an easier time calling, texting, or watching videos. For rural users, the phone provides reliable battery life that can get one through the day without constantly requiring a recharge. It's also an intelligent choice as a second phone—great for dealing with calls, taking care of banking activities, or just having as an emergency backup. In general, if you need a low-cost, no-frills smartphone, the Lava Yuva Star 2 is the way to go.


Absolutely! If you’re on the hunt for a budget-friendly smartphone under ₹7,000 in 2025, the Lava Yuva Star 2 is a surprisingly well-rounded choice. It brings a smooth 90Hz display, a battery that easily lasts through your day, and Android 14 Go Edition for a clean and responsive experience. With sufficient RAM and storage for everyday use, dual biometric features for extra security, and a fashion-forward design that doesn't shout "budget phone," it performs far more than one would anticipate at this cost. And because it's available offline, you can experience it in the flesh before purchasing.
