Lava has launched yet another smartphone in India within a week of its last release. The new device is called Lava Storm 5G. As the name suggests, the handset offers 5G connectivity.

The pro variant of this phone leaked in October 2022 but it never got launched. More than a year later, the brand has now debuted the vanilla model.

Let’s go through the specs of this handset along with its pricing and availability.

Lava Storm 5G Specifications

The design of this device is inspired by Samsung phones. It has a flat frame and vertically aligned separate camera modules.

Despite being a budget smartphone, it features a glass back, like the Redmi 12 and Redmi 13C lineups. In addition to a 3.5m  headphone jack, it also has a MicroSD card slot and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The front of the handset is dominated by a 6.78-inch punch-hole display. This LCD panel offers a resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixels, 396 PPI, and up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

The phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chip paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It boots Android 13 and is guaranteed to receive Android 14 as well as 2 years of security updates.

It has two useful cameras on the rear — a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide unit. On the front, there’s a 16MP shooter.

Connectivity options include dual SIM, 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, and USB Type-C. The product measures 8.96mm in thickness and weighs 214g.

Last but not least, the device is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W charging.

The Lava Storm 5G is priced at ₹13,499 (~$160) for the sole 8GB + 128GB variant in India. For a limited time, it will be sold at a discounted price tag of ₹12,999 (including bank offer).
