Hey there , I am writing this review after a month of using this Lava 02 and I want to say that Good job Lava team for bringing this up. At first I was little sceptical about how things would go at this price range. I have used Vivo Nokia and Samsung at > Lava O2 budget and to be honest I am happy with this phone Here are the pros of this phone: Battery- 5000 mAh is good and lasts minimum of 7 hrs on heavy use and easily lasts a day on rough use Charging time: 0-100% in nearly 2 hrs . Great! 4/5 Sound quality: sound quality is good but it doesn't really be hearable at low volume . A slight downgrade 3/5 Screen: To be honest, this has the best screen in this range or even above . Even my friends who owned mobile phones at the range of 15,000-30,000 had praised the screen of this phone. The punch hole display is a cherry on top of the cake. I could even see the screen at outdoors without any issues. Great! 5/5 Performance: The phone has a 8+8 combination of Ram and 128 gb ROM. I have tried various high end games on this phone and it's running good. Even it shows 30-40 Fps in COD mobile, but it doesn't feel like it,means it runs very smooth 5/5 I did also play solo leveling arise, Clash of clans,clash royale ,Bgmi ,FF , Farlight and asphalt series. All ran good in this phone . Best! Storage: Imagine I have a lot of games in this phone simultaneously. Like all the above mentioned. I even have downloaded the expansion pack of some of the games completely. Still I have 50% of storage left. Means the storage system is great! 5/5 Camera: the camera setup is of 50Mp primary sensor with another one may be of potriat ig . But the camera is great . I had some very good photos but Amazon isn't letting me upload them . It has various camera modes and a good selfie sensor. Good! 4/5 Now for the cons: Camera : After the update I got this problem . The camera lags while taking videos or photos. But in the gallery it is good. I hope the camera is maintained good in future updates Charging issues: Not much issues but the phone gets very hot and thanks to the glass back 🙂 it just acts like salt sprinkled on a bruise Device: Only after update I saw this problem. Sometimes when I open the app, the app suddenly closes and also closes each and every open tabs. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible Touch sensitivity: Sometimes when I am grinding in fps games . When I press the attack button I have to press twice first as the button itself becomes unresponsive at first only. This has happened multiple times leading into losing the match💔 Overall the phone is great . Please resolve the issues seen after update as soon as possible. Kudos!

The phone looks good and works well. My first lava phone as I always bought big brand names above 12k. Was sceptical about buying it, but I should say that this phone has surprised me. The purple colour is beautiful and feminine. The display is good, the phone is sturdy, touch responds well, the phone is fast and not sluggish in response, the camera is good enough but can be better, the phone charges very quickly and look wise it looks awesome. I wish Lava had provided earphones too in the box. A good smartphone for 8k, which is a very good deal. A product from India that seems good and is value for money. It is an ideal smartphone for people who want a good smartphone at a very reasonable cost.

Very good 4G phone, with smooth finish and touch. Very good build quality. Stylish design. Likes : 1. Proudly Indian 2. Clean Android 13. No bloatware. It's stock Android. 3. Premium glass back design. 4. Ultra smooth touch screen. 5. No lags as of now. 6. Fast fingerprint sensor. 8. Big memory inthis price (8GB, 128GB). 9. It's charging very fast. Not likes: 1. May be better images expected with 50MP. But ok in this price. Need improvement in camera app. Update1: updated and now camera is good. It's truly competition to other brands. Go for LAVA. Don't let your money go out of India. #ProudlyIndian

27 June 2024 I purchased this phone on 10th April 2024 primarily for business use, as it offers a clean Android experience. I also use the device for personal activities and software testing, and it performs really well. The phone provides good performance and battery life considering its price. However, I've encountered several issues with the device: 1. The LAVA Dialer app doesn't display the most relevant contact when I search for a contact using their first few initial letters. Instead, it matches the characters in between the first name. This was a very frustrating experience. Additionally, the app lacks the ability to identify spam calls. It would be helpful if it could use Google Maps or another service to find the name of the business associated with the caller. 2. When I open the Google Photos app, the display brightness automatically turns to 100%, and I haven't been able to find a solution for this issue in the settings. 3. The fingerprint (biometric) sensor sometimes triggers the YouTube video player's UI controls, and I haven't been able to find a solution for this issue either. 4. The brightness slider doesn't update the brightness percentage value in real-time. It only updates when I release the slider after adjusting the brightness. 5. I keep the display fixed at a 60Hz refresh rate to conserve power, but I've noticed that the UI jitters when navigating the phone, not just when using apps. 6. It would be really convenient if I could see the date with a single swipe down of the notification bar. UPDATE: 19 May 2025 Received the Android 14 upgrade a while ago, 1. The LAVA Dialer still have the issue, I have to rename the contacts such that the contact I search for appears first and the other issues I mentioned still persists. 2. The Google Photos App still have the problem. 3. The biometric sensor triggering the elements in YouTube players UI is resolved. 4. The brightness slider is fixed. 5. The UX is improved, navigation throught the phone now feels smoother. 6. I can now see the date and time with a single swipe down. 7. This new upgrade brings one problem, Whenever the `Stop App After Screen Lock` feature does its job it pushes a silent notification for the particular app it blocks which is fine but there is no way to disable its notifications and it pushes notifications everytime, which is annoying. UPDATE: 13 JUN 2025 I used the code *#07# on the LAVA Dialer and it returned SAR Value of <1.6 W/kg which is concerning, why is LAVA not showing the accurate values like other brands? I mean it can be 1.59 W/kg who knows! Reducing two stars from the review. Next time I'll consider the brand which are transparent to their users and does good R&D. UPDATE: 03 JULY 2025 The background apps wont close even after tapping the 'clear all' button, swiping the recent apps upside doesn't work either. Capturing photographs takes ages, I've to shut off HDR to capture photos, the photo quality has got worse and the focus is extremely sluggish, it takes ages to focus! Changed title from ''Performs well considering its price'' to ''Poor R&D, I wonder if their flagship devices have similar issues''. Deducting one star from this review. I will keep this review updated ....

Excellent: Looks premium, feels excellent in hand.Very good battery life. Large screen. Decent: Surprisingly good for gaming (low settings). Charging speed is decent. Sound quality is average. Bad: Bad Camera experience in low light, camera during morning (Added few samples) Note: Charger and phone cover is included which is huge plus point at this price range.

Phone over all good but camera need to improve more. But at this price point you can ignore this.

Acha phone hai, but bad mein battery ka issue aa sakta hai

Lava O2 is the most fastest and amazing phone under 8k. I bought it for 7,499 in sale. It's performance has not disappointed me for once. Alltho am giving 4 stars because phone has heating issues. I've been using it for a few days so here's my opinion on the topics :- • Battery life : Average for a 8k Phone can easily give a 6hr run time while playing games. • Quality : Build Quality is 10/10. Phone gives an expensive look. Overall good. • Camera : Average, back camera can be improved. • Sound Quality : Sound quality is good too and speakers are fine as well. • Gaming : Light gaming can be done but playing heavy games like BGMI and COD can cause heating. For normal gaming like roblox, Subway surfer, etc. . It's good. • Heating : The phone heats up quite fast. It's heating the most while charging. • Easy to use : It's actually smooth and it's ram is also good which gives a smooth experience. • RAM and ROM : Compared to other companies, lava gives more ROM and it's 8gb ram is also very efficient. Expandable Ram hasn't been in much use but it's smooth. You can't expect a 8k Phone to compete iPhone or other expensive phones. It's the best one in the segment. Go for it, it's Indian and efficient.
