The Lava Agni 5G goes well beyond the ‘made-to-order’ type and has extensive customization settings to allow users to mould it to fit their specific requirements.

The device was announced earlier this month during the official launch and becomes the first indigenous 5G smartphone due to the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset. Lava has also promised security updates for the Lava Agni 5G for two years though the Lava hasn’t mentioned anything about Android updates.

The Lava Agni 5G handset comes with a punch-hole cutout housing the selfie camera and a rectangular quad-camera set-up. It has a fingerprint scanner on the side, 6.78-inch display with a refresh rate of 90Hz and a 64MP primary camera. The device comes with a 5000mAh battery and a 30W fast charging option.

Pricing and Availability

The Lava Agni 5G is priced at Rs.19,999 and comes with 128GB storage and 8GB of RAM. Lava has launched only a single variant of their device. Given that Lava had lost out to the Chinese brands in the battle for market share over the past couple of years, the latest launch appears to be an effort to gauge user response to their initiative to capture the Make-in-India narrative.

Lava is looking to capitalize on the new PLI schemes for electronics announced by the government by offering its manufacturing capabilities to other companies and earn subsidies. The first major beneficiary is now confirmed to be Nokia.

The device is available for purchase through the Lava eStore as well as through both Flipkart and Amazon. Lava also announced that the Lava Agni would be available through offline stores in India.
