Lava, India’s homegrown mobile phone brand, launched its Agni 5G in November 2021, which was the first 5G-enabled smartphone from an Indian brand. The company is now working on the successor of the Agni 5G, which may be called the Lava Agni 2 5G. Sunil Rana, Business Head at Lava International Limited dropped a teaser tweeting two fire emojis followed by ‘soon’.

Lava Agni 2 5G price and availability
A report by Gizmochina revealed that the company may launch its latest mid-segment 5G smartphone by May this year. The upcoming Lava phone may use the Dimensity 1080 chipset, so considering the cost of existing phones that use this chipset, the Agni 2 5G could cost somewhere between Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000.
Lava Agni 2 5G specifications
Lava Agni 2 5G is expected to be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC, including an 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, further expandable through a microSD, as per Pricebaba. The upcoming 5G smartphone may feature a USB Type-C port and a 5,000mAh battery, which supports 44W fast charging support.
Coming to the camera, the upcoming smartphone will feature a triple camera unit at the back with a 50MP sensor along with support for Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and a 16MP front camera. It may feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. However, despite having an AMOLED display, the Lava Agni 2 5G may feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor — something usually seen on phones with LCD panels.
Meanwhile, in the comments section on Sunil Rana’s tweet, a user shared the poster of the unannounced Blaze 1x 5G, which could be the successor of Blaze 5G.
