Lava has launched its most advanced and affordable 5G phone yet the Lava Agni 5 5G in India. Aimed at users who want strong performance, 5G connectivity, and clean Android in one affordable package, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset. Built on a 6nm process, this octa-core processor handles everything from video playback and daily multitasking to BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile on medium-high settings with ease. It is paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable via microSD card. Lava has also introduced virtual RAM expansion of up to 8GB, allowing users to push the memory up to 16GB for enhanced responsiveness and app switching.
6.78-Inch FHD+ IPS Display with 120Hz Refresh Rate
The Lava Agni 5 5G features a large 6.78-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate that offers a fluid and snappy user experience. Scrolling through social media, gaming, and navigating through the UI all feel ultra-smooth. The punch-hole design at the center and slim bezels add a modern touch to the display, making it feel premium in hand. The IPS panel offers good viewing angles and vibrant color reproduction, especially at this price point. Lava has also integrated Eye Comfort Mode and Adaptive Brightness, helping users reduce strain during nighttime viewing and long screen hours.
50MP AI Camera Setup with Dual LED Flash
The rear camera setup includes a 50MP main camera with AI scene detection and enhanced low-light photography support. It captures detailed shots in daylight with good dynamic range, while the night mode helps brighten and reduce noise in low-light conditions. Lava has also included a secondary depth sensor for bokeh shots and edge detection. The front camera is an 8MP unit housed in the punch-hole, capable of capturing clear selfies and 1080p videos. It supports portrait mode, beauty filters, and AI enhancements designed for social media users and casual photographers.
5000mAh Battery with 33W Fast Charging
Battery life is another strong area for the Lava Agni 5 5G. The device is equipped with a 5000mAh battery that easily powers the phone through a full day of calling, streaming, gaming, and browsing. It supports 33W fast charging via USB Type-C, allowing the phone to recharge from 0 to 50% in under 30 minutes. Lava includes the fast charger in the box, giving users a complete charging solution. Combined with Dimensity 7050’s power efficiency, the phone delivers excellent screen-on time and stand-by endurance for everyday users.
Clean Android 13 Experience with Zero Bloatware
One of the key highlights of Lava smartphones has been the stock Android experience, and the Agni 5 5G continues that legacy with Android 13 out of the box. There are no ads, no pre-installed bloatware, and no unnecessary system apps, which results in a smooth, clean interface that’s perfect for those who dislike heavy custom UIs. Lava has promised 2 years of software updates and 3 years of security patches for this model. The UI also includes thoughtful features like digital wellbeing, gesture navigation, app locker, and voice assistant support. For those who prefer pure Android with Indian brand trust, this phone checks all the right boxes.
Price in India and Availability
The Lava Agni 5 5G is priced at ₹11,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, making it one of the most powerful Made-in-India 5G smartphones in this price range. It is available in two sleek finishes Fiery Blue and Graphite Black with a matte-textured back for a fingerprint-free grip. The phone will go on sale via Amazon, Lava e-store, and major offline retailers across India. As part of its launch offer, buyers can avail flat ₹1,000 discounts on select debit and credit cards, bundled screen protection, and a one-year free service plan for early adopters.
