Lava has launched its latest budget-friendly 5G smartphone, the Blaze 3 5G in India, the successor to last year’s Blaze 2 5G. The device features the same 6.56-inch LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and has an 8MP selfie camera. But it now runs on the Dimensity 6300 SoC with 6GB of RAM + 6GB of virtual RAM and 128GB storage.
It is based on Android 14 without any pre-installed bloatware, with Lava promising an upgrade to Android 15 and two years of security updates. In terms of cameras, the phone is equipped with a 50MP main rear camera and a 2MP AI camera, along with a ring light dubbed ‘vibe light.’ Other key features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a glass back, stereo speakers, and a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.
