Lava Teases New Shark Series 5G Smartphone Under ₹10,000

Lava is gearing up to launch its latest addition to the Shark lineup, a budget-friendly smartphone aimed at delivering value without breaking the bank.

The company teased the upcoming device, confirming that it will be priced under ₹10,000 and will officially launch on May 23, 2025.

A Focus on Durability and Practicality

Lava's latest Shark series model is expected to prioritize practical features while maintaining a solid build. One of the key highlights teased by the company is its IP54 rating for dust and water resistance—a rare inclusion for smartphones in this price range.

The phone is also rumored to pack a 13MP AI-powered rear camera that promises decent photography for everyday moments. While specific camera features haven’t been detailed yet, Lava suggests that the setup is designed to handle a variety of lighting conditions effectively.

Promising Performance in the Budget Segment

Lava has hinted that the new Shark series smartphone will come equipped with LPDDR4X RAM, which is typically faster and more power-efficient than older RAM technologies. This could mean smoother multitasking and better app-switching capabilities for users.

The device is also said to be powered by a chipset that scores over 400,000 on AnTuTu benchmarks. While the exact processor hasn't been revealed, this score suggests competitive performance for its price category.

Launch Details and Expectations

Lava plans to unveil the new Shark series smartphone on May 23, 2025, with more details about its design, specifications, and exact pricing expected during the event.

Given the early teasers, it seems Lava is setting its sights on the value-driven market, aiming to offer a durable, capable smartphone under ₹10,000.
