Lava Agni 4 5G (2026): Launch Date, Expected Price in India, Full Specs, Display, Processor, Camera, Battery, Charging, 5G Bands, Variants, Colours & Availability

In a market dominated by Chinese giants, an Indian brand is finally making people stop and stare. The Lava Agni 4 5G has arrived with a clear message: “We can do it better, and we can do it cheaper.” Launched at a competitive ex-showroom price of ₹24,999, this phone isn’t just a patriotic choice; it’s a hardware beast that is giving the likes of Samsung and Nothing a run for their money.

The real truth is, Lava has stopped playing the “budget” game. With a premium metal frame, a 1.5K AMOLED display, and a dedicated AI assistant named Vayu AI, the Agni 4 is positioned as a “Flagship-Lite” experience. But can it handle the heat of the Indian summer and the pressure of heavy BGMI sessions? Let’s peel back the layers.

2. DESIGN & BUILD (Deep Dive)

Lava has moved away from the plasticky feel of yesteryears. The Agni 4 5G features a brushed aluminium mid-frame and a matte AG Glass back that feels incredibly dense and premium in the hand.

• The Feel: At 208 grams, it has a reassuring heft. The “Lunar Mist” color has a frosted finish that does a great job of hiding fingerprint smudges.
• Action Key: Just like the newer iPhones, Lava has added a Customizable Action Key. You can set it to turn on the torch, open the camera, or even trigger a specific Vayu AI shortcut.
• Durability: It comes with an IP64 rating, which means it’ll survive a dusty Indian road or a sudden drizzle, but don’t go swimming with it.

3. DISPLAY & VISUALS

The screen is arguably the best part of this phone. It’s a 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with equilateral bezels—meaning the “chin” is as thin as the top bezel.

• Brightness: With a peak brightness of 2400 nits, outdoor visibility is fantastic. Even under the direct midday sun in Rajasthan, you won’t need to shield the screen with your hand.
• Refresh Rate: The 120Hz feels exceptionally smooth, especially because Lava uses a clean, near-stock Android UI. There’s no heavy “skin” to slow down the animations.
• Protection: It’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which is decent for the price, though we always recommend a tempered glass.

4. PERFORMANCE & GAMING/USAGE

The Dimensity 8350 chipset inside the Agni 4 is a 4nm powerhouse. In our AnTuTu tests, it consistently crossed the 1.4 Million mark.

• Daily Tasks: Opening apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Chrome is near-instant. The UFS 4.0 storage ensures that large files move at lightning speeds.
• Gaming: We played BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile. At “Smooth + Extreme” settings, it maintains a stable 60 FPS without major drops. Thanks to the 4300mm² Vapour Chamber cooling, the phone stays comfortably warm (around 39°C) rather than “burning hot.”
• Vayu AI: This is Lava’s “secret sauce.” It includes features like AI Call Summary (which transcribes your calls) and AI Photo Editor (which can remove unwanted people from your background).

5. CAMERA PERFORMANCE

Lava has simplified the camera setup—quality over quantity.

• Rear Camera: The 50MP main sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) takes crisp photos in daylight. The dynamic range is surprisingly wide for a mid-ranger.
• Low Light: The OIS helps in night shots by keeping the shutter open longer without blur. It’s not “Google Pixel” level, but it beats most phones in the ₹20k-₹25k bracket.
• Selfie Beast: The 50MP front camera is the real star for vloggers. It supports 4K video recording at 60fps, a feature usually reserved for phones costing twice as much.

6. BATTERY & ENDURANCE

The 5000 mAh battery is optimized well by Android 15.

• Battery Life: In our “Real World” test (Social media + 1 hour gaming + WiFi), the phone lasted 1.5 days on a single charge.
• Charging: The 66W charger is included in the box.
  • 0-50% in 19 minutes.
  • Full charge (0-100%) in about 51 minutes.

8. FINAL VERDICT

Buy it if:

• You want a bloatware-free experience (No annoying “Hot Apps” or “Glance” lock screen).
• You are a vlogger or selfie enthusiast (4K 60fps on the front camera is rare).
• You want a phone that feels like a ₹50,000 flagship in terms of build quality.

Skip it if:

• You need a 3.5mm headphone jack (It doesn’t have one).
• You want the absolute best Ultra-wide camera (The 8MP secondary sensor is just average).
• You are a brand snob who only trusts established global giants.

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars.
