Lava is an Indian smartphone manufacturer that has gained popularity in recent years. The company has relied on the combination of success that many companies have relied on: value for price, that is, offering phones with the largest possible number of possible features and specifications, along with good pricing for the phone. For all categories of users, specifically the economic or hard-working category, which cannot pay more than $200. Lava Storm is another new phone in this category and we will get to know it closely in this article.
Here are the specifications and price of the Lava Storm, all its features, and a comprehensive user guide for everything related to the entire phone, in addition to a comprehensive review in which we explore together whether the phone is worth buying or not and what its pros and cons are. It is noteworthy that we tested the phone for about more than a week, which is a very sufficient period of time that we had. Let us know everything related to the phone.
Lava Storm features a simple and elegant design. The phone is made almost entirely of plastic, which is not surprising in this price segment, but it is still somewhat solid. The back of the phone features a matte finish that is resistant to fingerprints and smudges. We have a 6.78-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels. The screen is good enough for daily use, but it is certainly not good under the sun or during daylight hours outside the house, but in return it supports a 120 Hz refresh rate for a smooth browsing experience.
Lava Storm is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processor. This processor is not the most powerful on the market, but it is enough to perform most daily tasks. The phone comes with 8 GB of RAM. The phone also has 128 GB of storage space, which is almost enough for most users, and let's not forget that there is an option to expand the internal storage capacity by installing an external memory card.
One of the best features of the Lava Storm is its battery life. The phone has a huge 5000 mAh battery that will easily last you through a full day of use. The phone also supports 33-watt fast charging, which is actually slow, but very acceptable in this price segment.
The phone packs a 50 + 8 MP dual rear camera. The front camera is a 16MP sensor which is good enough for selfies and video calling. The device uses the Android 13 operating system and comes with a number of features, such as the built-in app store, dark mode, and gesture control system.
The price of the Lava Storm is $170 for the only version in which the phone is available, which is 8 + 128 GB. The phone is available exclusively in the local Chinese market and may reach some other Asian markets such as India and Thailand. There is no news at the present time regarding its availability in the rest of the international markets. You can learn more about the phone here.
The Lava Storm is a good option in that price segment. It's an excellent choice for users looking for a basic smartphone that provides a decent user experience with some useful features like a giant battery, decent performance, and competitive pricing. Note that you will have to make some compromises such as a mediocre photography experience and low screen resolution, but overall this phone is another successful device from the Chinese brand.
