Lava V5 Launched In India, Features 13MP PDAF Camera, 5.5-Inch Display; Priced At Rs. 11,499
Indian mobile handset company Lava is apparently not intimidated with the left and right smartphone launches from more popular brands as they have introduced a new device in their line called the Lava V5. According to BGR, the company launched the handset last week as their flagship device.
They are marketing it as a mid-range camera-focused smartphone with a solid set of specs that will cost interested buyers only Rs. 11, 499 or around $169. Gadgets 360 noted that the device comes with a maximum retail price of Rs. 13, 000 or $191 and will be sold at physical retail stores, as well as multi-branded outlets. It's also available online via eBay India.
As for the specs and features of the device, Android Authority detailed that the Lava V5 comes with a 5.5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. Its outward appearance doesn't exactly give off a premium look as it comes with only a plastic back panel and metallic edges.
