Last month Lava launched the Blaze Pro smartphone. Now the homegrown brand at the ongoing Indian Mobile Congress has announced Blaze 5G smartphone. It is an upgraded variant of the Lava Blaze that debuted in July this year. According to the company, the latest offering is the most affordable 5G smartphone in India.

There is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button. The back panel has a rectangular camera module that houses a 50MP main sensor, a depth lens, and a macro unit. Up front, the smartphone features an 8MP selfie snapper. 

Under the hood, the Lava Blaze 5G is powered by a Dimensity 700 processor which brings support for eight 5G bands. It packs 4GB RAM along with 3GB virtual RAM and 128GB of internal storage with support for a dedicated microSD card slot. The smartphone ships with Android 12 OS out of the box. The Lava Blaze 5G is backed by a 5,000mAh battery unit. 

Connectivity options on the device include dual SIM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
