The general direction of design indicates that Lava is looking to compete with upper mid-range handsets from companies such as OnePlus and iQOO on providing a premium, shiny finish at a relatively low price.

Lava Agni 4: Performance and Hardware

Under the hood, the Agni 4 is speculated to draw power from the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 SoC coupled with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. This combo is hyped to deliver flagship fast load times for apps, multitasking and gaming.

Lava is said to maintain a bloatware-free software experience, something the brand has earned praise for in its recent devices.

Lava Agni 4: Camera Setup

The Agni 4 will reportedly feature a dual rear camera setup led by a 50MP primary sensor, accompanied by an ultra-wide lens. While that’s a downgrade in count from the Agni 3’s triple-camera setup, the improved sensor quality and processing should make up for it.

An interesting addition is a new “Action Button,” rumoured to function similarly to Apple’s camera control button, offering quick access to the camera or custom shortcuts.

If the pricing is kept below ₹30,000 then Lava might end up becoming one of the most attractive Indian smartphone brands in the mid-range category. And with a launch date already being speculated as November 20, it won’t be long before we know if Lava can indeed take on global competition in the budget premium space.
