Lava Blaze X 5G: International behemoths like Xiaomi, Realme, and Samsung have long controlled the midrange smartphone market in India. However, Lava, an Indian manufacturer, has been making waves in recent years by offering simple, affordable phones with good hardware and uncluttered software.
The Lava Blaze X 5G, their most recent release, is expected to reinforce that impression even further.
With a curved screen, a potent processor for its class, and an excellent design and user experience, the Blaze X 5G proves that a “Made in India” phone doesn’t need to sacrifice quality to stay competitive.
Design and Build
It’s safe to say that the Blaze X 5G’s straightforward design was among the first things that caught our attention. Unlike many of its competitors, Lava has chosen to use a curved-edge AMOLED screen, which is uncommon at this price.
gives the phone a high-end appearance, feel, and style; you’ll adore it when you receive it.
In addition to looking sleek, the glossy back panel is available in stylish hues like Titanium Grey and Starlight Purple. The circular, well-integrated camera module has a contemporary appearance without being overly ornate.
The Blaze X is surprisingly light and easy to use, even with its large screen and 3D curved glass.
Nothing feels particularly flimsy or cheap, and the build quality is good.
Visual Experience and Display
The 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen of the Blaze X 5G has a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It is easy to navigate, bright, and sharp.
The display functions well in direct sunlight, with respectable peak brightness levels, and the scrolling, animations, and app transitions are quick.
The screen is gratifyingly immersive whether you’re watching videos, browsing social media, or just browsing through your photo collection.
This type of panel is rare in the sub-15,000 price range, which is where the Blaze X excels.
Software and Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 6020 SoC powers the Blaze X 5G’s internal components, which also include up to 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage and up to 8GB of RAM. Depending on configuration, it also has virtual RAM expansion of up to 8GB.
In real life, the phone feels fast when playing light games, multitasking, and loading apps. On medium settings, all of the casual games, including BGMI and Subway Surfers, function flawlessly without experiencing any frame drops.
Although it isn’t a gaming beast, it can manage all the other daily tasks.
Lava’s unadulterated Android interface is its one advantage. Android 13 is also installed on the phone, free of bloatware and advertisements.
There are no intrusive alerts or apps that are added without your consent—just a simple, uncluttered user interface that functions flawlessly.
Camera Configuration
It features a 64MP primary camera and a 2MP secondary sensor on the back. Although dynamic range can occasionally be lacking, the primary camera captures good color and detail in well-lit conditions.
Low-light photos make some noise, but Night Mode helps to some extent.
The 16 megapixel front camera produces a good selfie with sharpness and good skin tones for the price. With a few simple AI tweaks and filters, the camera app is very user-friendly.
Charging and Battery Life
The 5,000mAh battery that powers the Blaze X 5G is more than enough to last a full day of moderately intensive use. Don’t expect to reach for the charger very often, whether you’re using GPS, streaming a video, or browsing social media.
