Lava Z6: Design
Lava Z6 comes as one of the premium offerings from the Indian company, priced just under Rs. 10K. The smartphone flaunts a 6.51-inch HD+ 2.5D curved glass display with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The display also includes a waterdrop notch in the center that houses the selfie camera. The design of the Lava Z6 is quite similar to other phones in the range with a plastic body and thick chin.
Lava Z6: Hardware Performance
Going under the hood, the Lava Z6 draws power from the 2.3GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 processor paired with the IMG PowerVR GE8320. The chipset also includes 6GB RAM and 64GB default storage, which can be expanded up to 512GB via a microSD card. The Helio G35 can be spotted on other devices in this range as it’s an entry-level chipset. The Lava Z6 can handle routine smartphone tasks, but could also face some glitches.
Lava Z6: Camera Performance
The optics on the Lava Z6 include a triple-camera setup at the rear with a 13MP primary sensor with f/1.85 aperture, a secondary 5MP ultra-wide sensor, and a tertiary 2MP depth sensor. Plus, there’s a 16MP selfie camera housed in the waterdrop notch. The phone’s camera setup can capture some good pictures, especially in good lighting. The selfie camera is useful for video calling as well.
Lava Z6: Price-To-Specs Ratio
As noted, the Lava Z6 ships just under Rs. 10,000. The Lava Z6 offers a couple of good features, including the triple-camera setup for the asking price. With the Made in India tag, the Lava Z6 has won over users in the country. That said, the phone faces tough competition with other OEMs in this segment, especially from Realme, Xiaomi, Samsung, and others.
Lava Z6: Important Features/Highlights
Lava Z6 has a couple more interesting features to offer. For one, it comes with a large 5,000 mAh battery with standard connectivity aspects. While there is no fast charging support, the large battery can easily last a day. Plus, the Lava Z6 runs stock Android 10, which might be preferable for those looking to skip ads on the OS.
Lava Z6: Verdict
The Lava Z6 comes with a Made in India tag, which attracts buyers. However, for the features offered, smartphones from other manufacturers like Realme and Xiaomi offer so much more. For one, we can see a bigger battery, fast charging support, and even better camera capabilities for the asking price. To sum it up, keep an eye out for other devices before picking the Lava Z6 as the final choice.

Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
