Lava has officially introduced the Lava Virat Curve as the fourth smartphone in its Virat lineup. Unlike its more budget-oriented siblings, the new model focuses on a more premium design and a feature-rich experience. One of its standout features is a secondary mini display integrated into the rear camera module, which can show notifications, battery information, time, and customizable emojis.
The Lava Virat Curve also packs a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset, 50MP Sony main camera, and a 6,000mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. In this article, we cover the Lava Virat Curve’s specifications, features, availability, and expected price in Nepal.
Lava Virat Curve Overview
Design and Display
The Lava Virat Curve features a curved body with a vegan leather back that gives the phone a more premium appearance and comfortable in-hand feel. Its rear panel houses a squircle-shaped camera module with a dual-camera setup.
However, the most distinctive part of the design is the secondary mini display inside the camera module. Lava uses this small screen to display the time, battery level, volume indicators, notifications, and customizable emojis. This adds a unique touch to the phone and makes the rear camera module more functional.
The phone measures 162.26 x 73.51 x 8.55mm and weighs around 184 grams. It also carries an IP64 rating, offering protection against dust and water splashes. In addition, the phone comes with MIL-STD-810H certification, adding extra durability for everyday use and outdoor conditions.
Lava offers the Virat Curve in three color options: Heritage Indigo, Ellora Slate, and Makrana Ivory.
On the front, the phone features a 6.67-inch 3D curved AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. The panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling, animations, and supported games feel smoother.
The display reaches up to 1,100 nits of peak brightness and supports 800 nits HBM, which should provide better outdoor visibility. It also covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, allowing the screen to deliver a wider and more vibrant range of colors for movies, photos, and other multimedia content.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Lava Virat Curve runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7100, a 6nm mid-range chipset designed to handle everyday smartphone tasks efficiently.
The phone should comfortably handle activities such as web browsing, social media, video streaming, multitasking, and switching between applications. It can also handle casual gaming, although demanding games may require lower graphics settings for a smoother experience.
Lava pairs the chipset with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. This combination provides enough memory and storage for everyday applications, photos, videos, and other files.
On the software side, the Virat Curve runs Android 16 out of the box. Lava keeps its software experience relatively clean, reducing unnecessary clutter and making the interface easier to navigate. The company has also promised two major Android OS updates and up to three years of security updates.
Camera
For photography, the Lava Virat Curve features a dual-camera setup on the rear. The primary camera uses a 50MP Sony sensor with electronic image stabilization (EIS), while a 2MP secondary sensor completes the setup.
The 50MP main camera should capture detailed photos in good lighting conditions, while EIS helps reduce unwanted movement when recording videos. However, low-light photography may not deliver the same level of detail as more expensive smartphones.
For selfies and video calls, the phone features a 13MP front-facing camera with screen flash.
Battery and Charging
The Lava Virat Curve packs a 6,000mAh battery, giving it plenty of capacity for users who prioritize long battery life. With regular use, the large battery should comfortably last through a full day and potentially longer depending on usage patterns.
The phone supports 45W fast charging. However, Lava includes a 33W charger in the box, meaning users may need a compatible higher-wattage charger to take full advantage of the phone’s 45W charging capability.
