Lava Blaze 2 Specifications and Features

The phone features a 90Hz IPS LCD screen that measures 6.5 inches in size and has an HD+ resolution, resulting in a modest pixel density of 269 PPI. The performance of the phone relies on the 12nm process-based Unisoc T616 chipset, which includes two ARM Cortex A75 cores clocked at up to 2 GHz and six ARM Cortex A55 cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. Lava claims a "highest" AnTuTu benchmark score of 255,298, which we estimate to be within the plausible range.

The chipset is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, 5GB of which can be allocated as virtual RAM. There is also a microSD card slot that can accept up to an additional 1TB.

The phone houses a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. The dual camera system on the rear includes a 13MP primary camera accompanied by a basic 2MP shooter. On the front, there is another 8MP camera for selfies and video calling. 

Lava Blaze 2 debuts with Android 12 OS, but is slated to get Android 13 somewhere down the road. Lava also promises two years of security patch updates. Other highlights include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 4G connectivity, a 3.5mm audio jack, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v5.0 and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
