Lava Mobiles is working on Lava Shark 2 after the success of launching Lava Shark 5G recently in 2023 in India. In the run-up to its introduction, they revealed some features, most notably, that the Note 8 (2021) will feature an AI-augmented triple rear camera system that should improve not only photography but design.

Lava Shark 2 Camera Details

Lava Mobiles in a teaser shared on X (erstwhile Twitter) showed off the Lava Shark 2 camera module. The triple rear camera setup includes AI features as well as a 50MP primary sensor. It does sport an identical iPhone 16 Pro Max-like camera island with LED flash and “50MP AI Camera” branding.

The design of the Lava Shark 2 still resembles that of its predecessor, with a waterdrop-style notch for the front camera. There are physical buttons on the right, while nothing is present on the left side. One model even packs a headphone jack - sitting on the bottom next to the mic, speaker grille and USB Type-C port. Lava has put up two colour options of the phone: blue and silver, both with a metallic frame.

Expected Improvements

Although not much is currently known about the device, the Lava Shark 2 is speculated to be an upgrade on the Lava Shark 5G with better AI prowess, photography and might have improved performance and display characteristics. More information should follow closer to launch.
