Lava has launched the Yuva 4, the follow-up to the Yuva 3 from earlier this year. It’s a budget-friendly smartphone with a few standout features that make it a solid option for everyday use.
Lava Yuva 4 features
The Yuva 4 sports a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and animations feel fluid. Under the hood, it’s powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset, a capable processor for daily tasks and light gaming.
It comes with 4GB of RAM, plus another 4GB of virtual RAM to boost multitasking. Running Android 14 out of the box, the phone is also set to receive an upgrade to Android 15, so it’s good for future updates.
The camera setup includes a 50MP primary lens on the back for capturing sharp, detailed photos, and an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Other handy features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for quick unlocking and a classic 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio fans.
The 5000mAh battery should easily get most users through a full day, though the 10W charging is on the slower side.
Lava Yuva 4 vs. Yuva 3: What’s New and Improved?
While the Yuva 4 retains many of the core features of its predecessor, it brings meaningful upgrades, particularly in camera quality and software support.

Cameras
The camera setup sees a clear improvement in the Yuva 4. It upgrades the primary rear camera to a 50MP sensor, compared to the 13MP main camera on the Yuva 3. The less practical VGA and AI lenses from the Yuva 3 have been removed for a simplified and more functional design. On the front, the Yuva 4 also enhances the selfie camera, increasing the resolution from 5MP to 8MP.

The Lava Yuva 4 is available in three glossy finishes: White, Purple, and Black. At an introductory price of Rs. 6,999 for the 64GB variant, it offers great value for money.
