Lava, a mobile phone company, has recently announced the release of its new smartphone model, the Blaze 1X 5G. Despite not having an official launch event or press release, the phone is already listed on the company’s website. The Blaze 1X 5G is an upgrade to the previously released Blaze 5G and the 6GB RAM edition released earlier this year.
Display and Design:
The new model features a 6.5-inch 90 Hz 720×1600 LCD display, providing an immersive viewing experience. The phone’s dimensions are 165.3 x 76.4 x 8.9 mm, and it weighs 207g. It is available in two colors: Glass Green and Glass Blue, giving users some personalization options.
Processor and Storage:
The Blaze 1X 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC, providing a smooth and efficient performance. The phone has 6GB of RAM, and the support for 5GB of “Virtual RAM,” which enables it to work faster and more efficiently. Additionally, it has 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable via microSD card up to 1TB, allowing users to store a large number of files and apps.
Camera and Battery:
One of the standout features of the Blaze 1X 5G is its camera. The phone features a 50 MP main camera flanked by two decorative shooters, one 2 MP, and one VGA. The selfie camera is an 8 MP snapper, capable of taking high-quality photos and videos. The phone’s battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh, providing enough power to last throughout the day. It also has 15W charging support, although the in-box charger is 12W.
Operating System:
One of the few disappointments of the Blaze 1X 5G is that it runs on Android 12 from 2021, which is not the latest operating system version available. However, it is still a reliable and efficient system that provides a user-friendly interface.

Additional Features:
The phone also features a fingerprint scanner and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which are becoming increasingly rare in newer smartphone models. These features offer convenient security and audio options for users.
Comparison to Previous Model:
Compared to the original Blaze, the Blaze 1X 5G has a marginally smaller screen and faster charging capabilities. These minor improvements may not be enough to warrant an upgrade for users who already have the original Blaze. However, for new users, the Blaze 1X 5G is a reliable and efficient smartphone that offers a great display, camera, and storage.
Price:
There is no official price for the Blaze 1X 5G yet, but it is expected to be around the same price as the previous model, which currently sells for around INR 12,000 for the version with 6GB of RAM.
All-inclusive, the Lava Blaze 1X 5G is a solid smartphone option for those in need of a new phone. While it may not have many significant upgrades compared to the original Blaze, it offers efficient performance, a great camera, and ample storage. The phone’s affordable price point makes it an attractive option for those looking for a reliable smartphone without breaking the bank.
