Packed with 120Hz display, 50MP Sony camera, and MediaTek Dimensity 6300 — Lava’s new launch shakes up the under-₹8K 5G market
19 June 2025, New Delhi
Lava, a leading Indian smartphone brand, has made a bold entry into the affordable 5G segment with the launch of its latest device — Storm Lite 5G, priced at just ₹7,999. Slated to go on sale from June 24 at 12 PM exclusively on Amazon, the smartphone is being promoted as one of the most value-driven 5G options currently available in the Indian market.
The Storm Lite 5G is packed with features usually reserved for higher-priced devices. It boasts a 6.75-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals and a refined user experience. Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, making it the first smartphone under ₹8,000 to offer this level of performance.
On the camera front, Lava has equipped the Storm Lite with a 50MP Sony IMX rear sensor and a 5MP front camera, catering to everyday photography needs. A 5,000mAh battery paired with 15W fast charging via USB Type-C ensures reliable all-day performance, while an IP64 rating protects against dust and light water splashes — a rare addition in this price segment.
The phone runs on Android 14, with a promise of an upgrade to Android 15, along with two years of security updates. Notably, the device offers a clean, bloatware-free user interface, a growing preference among users seeking minimalistic and efficient software experiences.
In terms of hardware, the Storm Lite 5G includes 4GB RAM (expandable virtually to 8GB), 64GB internal storage, and microSD card support. Security features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock, adding convenience without compromising on safety.
Available in Thunder Black and Stellar Green, the Storm Lite 5G aims to bring premium design and future-ready performance to the masses. With its powerful specs, clean software, and attractive pricing, Lava is positioning this smartphone as a true game-changer in the under-₹8,000 5G category.
