Lava has widened its range of phones by launching its Storm Series for the first time, with two new models — Storm Play at ₹9,999 and Storm Lite at ₹7,999. Both phones are set to take on competition in the fiercely competitive sub-₹10,000 segment.
The Storm Play, as per Lava, is creating buzz as the global first smartphone to boast the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 chipset. It is also the first phone in the sub-₹10,000 segment to offer LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, normally available in premium phones.
Storm Lite also comes to market with an important industry first — Lava says it is India's first smartphone under ₹8,000 with the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, which puts it a class apart.
Shared Design, Unique Capabilities
Both phones feature a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate for fluid visuals, and both phones have a 5000mAh battery. The two phones vary greatly, though, when it comes to performance and camera aspects.
The Storm Play has 6GB of RAM (in addition to 6GB virtual), 128GB of built-in storage, a dual rear camera setup (50MP + 2MP), an 8MP front camera, and 18W fast charging.
Along with this, the Storm Lite also comes with 4GB RAM (with 4GB virtual), storage options of 64GB and 128GB, a single 50MP primary rear camera, a 5MP front camera, and 15W charging. The two devices use the Sony IMX752 sensor for their main cameras.
Software and Durability
Packed with clean Android 15 and not cluttered with bloatware or unwanted apps, these phones offer an optimized user interface. These features are further supplemented by IP64-rated dust and water resistance and side-mounted fingerprint readers for added protection.
"The Storm series brings industry-best innovation with the world's first Dimensity 7060 and segment-first LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 technologies," said Sumit Singh, Head of Product at Lava International Limited.
Availability and Support
Lava is eyeing performance enthusiasts who are on a budget, with the Storm Play starting to be available exclusively on Amazon from June 19 at 12 PM, and the Storm Lite available from June 24 at 12 PM, both with introductory offers.
To make it sweeter, Lava is providing one assured Android OS update, two years of security updates, and its Free Service@Home program accessible throughout India, with an assurance of peace of mind coupled with robust specifications.
