The Lava Agni 3 5G has officially been unveiled in India as the most premium smartphone in the company's arsenal. Apart from two OLED displays, the Lava Agni 3 5G boasts a list of impressive specifications.

But how does the Lava Agni 3 fare against its predecessor and the Blaze Curve 5G, two of the company's best offerings. Let's find out in our full specifications' comparison of the Lava Blaze Curve, Agni 3, and Agni 2.

Lava Agni 3 vs Agni 2 vs Blaze Curve 5G: Full Specs Comparison

Design & Display

All three smartphones feature a curved OLED display on the front, although the Agni 3's design is similar to that of its predecessor. The Blaze Curve features more extreme curvature than the Agni 2 and Agni 3. The Lava Agni 2 features a circular camera island on the back, while the Blaze Curve 5G opts for three individual camera modules on the back panel.

However, the Agni 3 5G gets the biggest upgrade here with the large rectangular camera island that includes a secondary OLED display. But this isn't just a gimmick and works with the recording app, music player, alarm clock, notifications, and more.

The Lava Agni 3 also features a segment first 'Action Button' that can also perform various features like take screenshots, open apps, start recording, and more. Moreover, the Lava Agni 3 comes with an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance. While all three smartphones feature curved OLED displays, the Agni 3's screen boasts a higher resolution and can achieve a higher peak brightness.

Performance, Software, Battery

In terms of performance, the Lava Agni 3's MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chip is the fastest of the lot. And while it does offer a 30% increase in performance over the MediaTek 7050 SoC on the Blaze Curve and Agni 2, it does fall short of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. The Agni 3 also has a larger VC cooling area than the Blaze Curve 5G and Agni 2 5G.

Moving on to the software, and Lava has confirmed that the Agni 3 will get the Android 17 upgrade, where the Agni 2 and Blaze Curve will stop at Android 15. All three phones feature a clean interface with no bloatware, while the Agni 3 will also get four years of security updates.

Battery capacity on all three phones is nearly similar, although the Blaze Curve offers slower charging, while the Agni 2 has a slightly smaller cell. However, the addition of the secondary screen on the Agni 3 should result in lesser battery life. Moreover, the Agni 3 will cost an additional Rs 2,000 with the included adapter.

Cameras

The Lava Blaze Curve 5G and Agni 3 feature triple-rear cameras, while the Agni 2 opts for a quad-camera setup. Although the 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor on the Agni 3 5G is the best of the three. It is worth noting that the Blaze Curve 5G's 64MP primary sensor is the weakest of the lot. Moreover, the Agni 2 and Blaze Curve's main camera doesn't support OIS like the Agni 3.

While the ultrawide camera on all three phones are similar, the Agni 3 ditches the needless 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensors for an 8MP telephoto-portrait lens with 30x Super Zoom. Finally, the Blaze Curve 5G boasts a higher resolution 32MP selfie camera. However, Agni 3 users will have the benefit of snapping selfies with the rear cameras by using the secondary display as a viewfinder.

Lava Agni 3 vs Blaze Curve 5G vs Agni 2: Final Thoughts

The Lava Agni 3 fetches a much higher price tag than both the Blaze Curve 5G and Agni 2, particularly if you want a charging adapter in the box. The Lava Blaze Curve 5G is a solid sub-15K smartphone with good hardware for its price, although it won't receive an OS upgrade beyond Android 15.

With the adapter in the box, the Agni 3 will set you back Rs 8,500 more than the Blaze Curve 5G or Rs 6,000 more than the Agni 2 5G. However, we'd recommend paying the extra when it comes to the Agni 2 5G.

Not only does the Agni 3 bring substantial hardware upgrades over its predecessor, but it also offers better software support and a whole host of new hardware features to enhance the overall smartphone experience. The Action button and secondary OLED display are ground-breaking features in the sub-25K segment, making the Agni 3 5G worth the extra price.
