Lava is preparing two Virat V1 smartphones for India, and battery capacity creates the clearest divide between them. The Lava Virat V1 5G has a 6,000mAh battery, while the Lava Virat V1 4G uses a smaller 5,000mAh unit.
The battery difference is paired with separate Unisoc chipsets and different network support. However, Lava has retained several core features across both phones, including a 6.75-inch 120Hz display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 13MP main camera.
Key Differences Between the Two Models
| Model | Chipset | Memory | Battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lava Virat V1 5G | Unisoc T8200 | 4GB + 64GB | 6,000mAh |
| Lava Virat V1 4G | Unisoc SC9863A | 4GB + 64GB | 5,000mAh |
The 5G version is powered by the Unisoc T8200, making it the higher-connected model in the pair. The 4G version uses the Unisoc SC9863A, while keeping the same memory configuration as its 5G counterpart.
Both devices support virtual RAM, according to Lava’s announced specifications. Lava has not yet disclosed pricing for either Virat V1 model.
Large 120Hz Displays on Both Phones
The two phones feature a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This gives the 4G and 5G variants a shared display specification despite their different processors and battery capacities.
Lava has also confirmed IP64-rated bodies for protection against dust and water. Security options include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock.
For photography, the Virat V1 series uses an AI-backed dual rear camera system led by a 13MP main sensor. A 5MP front camera handles selfies and video calls, while details of the secondary rear sensor have not been announced.
India Launch and Colour Choices
Lava said in a press release that the Virat V1 series will launch in India on July 24. Gadgets360 also reported that both phones will be sold exclusively through Flipkart.
The Lava Virat V1 5G will be offered in Arya Blue and Sonar Gold. The Lava Virat V1 4G will come in Nilgiri Blue and Himalayan Silver.
Lava plans to include at-home after-sales service for buyers of both models. With the screen, camera, storage, and memory largely aligned, the decision between the two phones will chiefly come down to 5G support, chipset choice, and battery capacity.
