If you’re someone looking for a solid 5G smartphone without spending a fortune, the newly launched Lava Blaze Dragon 5G might just be worth checking out. Announced on Friday, July 25, 2025, this new device by Lava, the homegrown smartphone brand, brings a pretty competitive set of features for just ₹9,999. The phone will be available exclusively on Amazon starting August 1.
Big Display, Smooth Experience
The first thing you’ll notice about the Lava Blaze Dragon 5G is its big and bold 6.74 inch display. It also comes with a super smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, which makes everyday usage feel fast and fluid — whether you’re scrolling Instagram or watching videos. With 450 nits of peak brightness, the screen holds up decently even under sunlight.
Available in two elegant shades — Golden Mist and Midnight Mist — the phone tries to add a touch of style while staying in the budget segment.
Powered by Snapdragon and Stock Android
Under the hood, this phone is powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor — a rare find in this price range. It’s paired with 4 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128 GB UFS 3.1 storage, which means decent performance and quick app loading. There’s also 4 GB of virtual RAM on board, which helps with multitasking when you need that extra push.
One of the highlights is its clean software experience. The phone runs on stock Android 15, free from unnecessary pre-installed apps or bloatware. Plus, Lava promises 1 Android upgrade and 2 years of security updates, something not often seen at this price point.
Cameras
For photography needs, the Blaze Dragon 5G features a 50 MP rear camera — good enough for casual shots and social media uploads. On the front, you get an 8 MP camera, which should do just fine for video calls and selfies.
Battery Built to Last
Keeping things running is a solid 5,000 mAh battery, which easily lasts a full day with regular usage. And when it’s time to top up, the 18 W charger should get you going again without too much waiting.
Pricing and Availability
The best part? The Lava Blaze Dragon 5G is priced at just ₹9,999, which is impressive given the specs it offers. It’ll be up for grabs starting August 1, and will be sold exclusively on Amazon.
