The Lava Blaze 1X 5G has officially arrived, giving India's budget segment a capable new desi 5G option. Lava unveiled the phone on its official website with full specifications disclosed, though pricing and sale dates are yet to be announced.
Lava Blaze 1X 5G Display and Design
The Blaze 1X 5G sports a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The panel runs at a 90Hz refresh rate, delivers 269 ppi pixel density, and reproduces 16.7 million colours. Widevine L1 certification means you can stream HD content from supported platforms. A 2.5D curved glass finish gives the handset a premium look despite its budget positioning.
Lava Blaze 1X 5G Performance and Storage
Under the hood, the Lava Blaze 1X 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 octa-core processor — a chip proven across many popular 5G entry-level phones. The device runs Android 12 out of the box. It combines 6 GB of physical RAM with Lava's 5 GB Virtual RAM technology, bringing the effective RAM ceiling to 11 GB. Storage can be expanded via a microSD card of up to 1 TB.
Camera Setup
Photography is handled by a triple rear camera system. The main shooter is a 50-megapixel sensor backed by an LED flash, paired with a 2-megapixel secondary lens and a VGA sensor for depth and macro assistance. Selfies and video calls are covered by an 8-megapixel front camera.
Connectivity and Battery
The phone supports 8 5G bands, compatible with both Reliance Jio and Airtel 5G networks, along with standard 4G LTE. A 5,000 mAh battery keeps the phone running through the day and pairs with 18W fast charging support. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles biometric security.
