As Indian Smartphone market is dominated by international giants, it seems that the company Lava is ready to disrupt the market with its upcoming launch, the Lava Agni 3, which is scheduled to officially launch on, 04th October 2024. Lava calls the Agni 3 perfect addition for middle-market smartphones segment. Apart from performance, the Agni 3 is meant to be made-in-India expectation to traditional bulging of midrange smartphone.
The defining factor that differentiates the Lava Agni 3 from today's other mid-range smartphones is its emphasis on shattering convention. Most mid-range smartphones sacrifice one of design, performance, or innovation. However, all indications suggest that Lava has managed to have theirs all lined up perfectly: A slim profile, a top-notch chip, a refresh rate, and a solid battery. Whether you consider yourself a tech enthusiast or a casual user, the Agni 3 has you covered. So, is Lava's new smartphone the one that brings a storm to India's mid-range smartphone category? All eyes are on Lava as they prepare to unveil its boldest smartphone yet; the Agni 3.
As I have said earlier, Lava has revealed that its next-generation smartphone, Lava Agni 3, will launch in India on October 4. The Lava Agni 3 is the successor of the successful Lava Agni 2 and according to the brand, the smartphone will disrupt the Indian smartphone market with the tagline “Rule breaker.” Lava will introduce the next-generation smartphone to provide a fully-packed smartphone experience at a great price. Now, what does that mean are we to expect from the Lava Agni 3? Let’s go into the details.
Building up excitement for the Agni 3, lava has posted a teaser on X (formerly Twitter) and has shared the design of the phone, hinting at what could be promising USP-a secondary display on the rear panel. Not confirmed, but Abhishek Yadav, an industry insider, opines that the secondary display could " change the way to interact with the device". From the teaser, a noticeable large indentation is visible on the rear panel, which might feed into rumors.
Compared to the Lava Agni 2, the Agni 3 has an updated chipset - potentially MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 SoC. The latest chipset can be a major difference maker for performance, which may place the Agni 3 at the top of its class.
On the software side, the Agni 3 will likely have Android 14 loaded, as Lava devices traditionally deliver a "near-stock Android" experience. Android purists will enjoy a clean, uncomplicated UI with little to no bloatware.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the quad-camera setup to be expected from Agni 3. The primary sensor should be at 64MP with the 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter, a 2MP macro shooter, and a 2MP depth sensor. The same configuration appears on the Lava Agni 2 and that, incidentally, impressed us with image quality in the price bracket.
The Lava Agni 3 will likely sport a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate to provide smooth, colorful, and responsive performance. The size and the refresh rate of the display may be almost the same as in the previous model.
In the battery section, the Agni 3 might come with 5000mAh of juice along with support for 66W fast charging, so users need not go through the hassle of waiting for long periods to top their devices up.
