Indian smartphone maker Lava is reportedly set to introduce a new budget offering, the Yuva Star 4G. While the company has maintained silence on the matter, tipster Paras Guglani has shared images that purportedly show the phone’s retail box and official posters.

Based on these leaks, the device will sport a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a standard 60Hz refresh rate.  The device will adopt a notched design for the selfie camera and users will have the option of unlocking the device using either the side-mounted fingerprint scanner or facial recognition.

Under the hood, the Yuva Star 4G is said to be powered by an octa-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The smartphone will run on Android 14 Go edition out of the box. 

In terms of optics, the Yua Star 4G will feature a 13MP dual camera setup at the rear and a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies. The leaked retail box image also hints at a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging via a USB-C port.

Design-wise, the leaked official poster reveals the phone will have flat edges and a glossy finish on the back. The camera module is squircle in shape and houses the aforementioned dual camera setup and an LED flash. Perhaps the most significant detail from the poster is the phone’s pricing, which is said to be Rs 5,999.

While these leaks offer a comprehensive look at the Lava Yuva Star 4G, it’s important to note that the company has not officially confirmed any of these details. 

The availability of the phone is also shrouded in uncertainty, although the tipster suggests it is already available at offline retail stores. We’ll keep an eye on the situation and update you as soon as we have more information. So stay tuned!
