Featuring a fancy big circular camera on the back, the Lava Blaze 2 5G includes a ring light that is a first in the segment. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera and a 0.8MP secondary AI camera.

The phone has camera features like Portrait mode, HDR, slow-motion videos, Night mode, and more. The device comes in Glass Black, Glass Blue, and Glass Lavender colors.

The Lava Blaze 2 5G is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. The phone runs Android 13 and will receive 2 years of updates.

The Lava Blaze 2 5G gets connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and OTG support. There’s support for the n1/n3/n5/n8/28/n41/n77/n78 5G bands.

The phone comes with an FM radio, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, face unlock, call recording and other features.

There are two variants of the phone. The Lava Blaze 2 5G has been priced at Rs 9,999 for the 4G+64GB variant. And if you have Rs 10,999, you can go for the 6GB+128GB model.
