Indian smartphone brand Lava has launched its latest budget 5G smartphones, the Lava Storm Play alongside the Lava Storm Lite 5G, in India. Available exclusively on Amazon starting June 19 at 12 PM, the device claims the title of the world’s first phone powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7060 chipset and the first under ₹10,000 to feature LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Lava Storm Play Features
The Lava Storm Play sports a 6.75-inch LCD HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a waterdrop notch design. The high refresh rate ensures smoother scrolling and gaming, while the HD+ resolution (720×1600 pixels) caters to media consumption at an accessible price point.
At its core lies the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 6nm chipset, delivering an AnTuTu benchmark score exceeding 500,000. Paired with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM (expandable via 6GB virtual RAM) and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage, the Storm Play offers seamless multitasking and faster app load times—a rarity in its price segment.
The dual-camera setup includes a 50MP Sony IMX752 primary sensor and a 2MP depth lens, promising enhanced low-light photography. An 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. The device runs on a near-stock Android 15 out-of-the-box, with Lava committing to one major OS upgrade and two years of security updates.
A 5,000mAh battery powers the Storm Play, supporting 18W fast charging via USB-C. While not the fastest, it ensures a full day’s usage for moderate users.
Additional features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, and a single bottom-firing speaker. Priced at ₹9,999 (introductory offer), the Storm Play undercuts competitors by offering premium specs like LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 in the sub-₹10k category.
Sales begin June 19th, 2025 at 12:00 PM on Amazon India with a special launch price of ₹9,999 (approximately $115) . With its aggressive pricing and standout specs, the Lava Storm Play is assured to disrupt the budget smartphone market, challenging brands like Redmi and Realme.
