Lava International, a prominent Indian technology company, has officially launched the Lava Bold 2 5G, expanding its affordable 5G smartphone lineup. This new model succeeds the Lava Bold 5G released last year, featuring several notable upgrades in performance and design while maintaining an attractive price point.
The Lava Bold 2 5G sports a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike its predecessor’s curved screen, this model adopts a flat 2.5D design. This change enhances everyday usability by reducing accidental touches common with curved displays. The phone still retains an in-display fingerprint sensor for secure and convenient unlocking.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 chipset, replacing the previous Dimensity 6300. This chipset is engineered to deliver stronger performance within the mid-range segment, especially for multitasking and seamless 5G connectivity. The Lava Bold 2 5G pairs this with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Users can also benefit from a virtual RAM expansion of up to 6GB, effectively boosting the device’s multitasking capability.
For software, the Lava Bold 2 5G runs Android 15 out of the box, offering a clean user interface with minimal preinstalled apps. Lava aims to provide user experiences free from unnecessary bloatware that can slow down device performance. This keeps the interface light, responsive, and user-friendly.
In photography capabilities, the smartphone features a primary 50MP camera supported by a secondary sensor aimed at enhancing depth or macro photography. On the front, the Lava Bold 2 5G includes an 8MP selfie camera, which is a step down from the 16MP front camera found on its predecessor. This trade-off may be perceived by selfie enthusiasts looking for higher-resolution front-facing cameras.
The device houses a robust 5,000mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging technology. According to Lava, this capacity ensures all-day battery life under normal use conditions. Impressively, despite the large battery, the device measures only 7.55mm thick, placing it among the slender smartphones in its price range. Another notable feature is the IP64 certification, offering protection against dust and water splashes — a rare specification in budget-friendly smartphones.
The Lava Bold 2 5G is available in two color variants: Feather White and Midnight Black. In the Indian market, it is priced starting at ₹12,999, which converts to approximately $160 USD. This affordable price includes special bank offers and promotional coupons, further increasing its value proposition. Sales officially commenced on March 19 through Amazon India.
