Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 Review - Eye Candy!

When it comes to budget smartphones, you can’t have it all – you either get great performance, a solid camera, a good battery, or a vibrant display, but rarely all. If your priorities lean towards display quality and battery life, Lava might have just the thing for you: the Blaze AMOLED 2.

Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 Display & Design – Big and Bold

As the name suggests, the phone features an AMOLED display. It’s a 6.67-inch, 1080 x 2400p panel with rich colours, deep contrast, and impressive brightness levels. Even under harsh sunlight, visibility remains solid, and its size and colour reproduction make it great for consuming content. The 120Hz refresh rate gives the UI a smooth, fluid feel, and the slim bezels add to the immersive experience.

Design-wise, the Blaze AMOLED 2 keeps things simple and elegant. The rear features a neatly integrated camera island housing two lenses and a flash, without an obnoxious bulge, meaning that even if you use it without a back cover, it won’t wobble much. The marble-like finish at the back catches light beautifully, adding a hint of sophistication. At 7.55mm thin and weighing just 174g, the phone feels sleek and comfortable to hold, with the rounded corners adding to its ergonomic appeal.

Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 Performance – Smooth at Times, Rough at Others

The Blaze AMOLED 2 left me a little puzzled with its performance. On paper, the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 paired with 6GB of RAM should make for a solid combination – and it does hold up fairly well when gaming. However, during everyday use, I did notice occasional stutters and lag in the UI. This seems less like a limitation of the chipset and more like an issue with software optimisation. Still, the phone never froze or crashed during my testing, which is reassuring. Overall, performance is acceptable for its price, but it won’t impress anyone looking for mind-blowing performance.

Where the Blaze does shine is in storage and battery life. The 128GB of onboard storage should easily cover most users’ needs, and the 5,000mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day. Lava also includes a 33W fast charger in the box – always a nice touch – along with a clear protective case that lets you show off the phone’s marble-finish back without leaving it exposed.

As for the cameras, you get a 50MP primary lens and an 8MP ultrawide at the back. Don’t let the big megapixel count of the main camera fool you, for the image quality is strictly average, and videos are no different. The front camera performs acceptably well in good lighting, producing sharp, well-exposed selfies in most environments.

Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 Review Verdict – Practical and Value-Focused

The Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 might not top any performance charts, but it’s a solid choice for users who value practicality over power. Its large, bright display and long-lasting battery make it particularly well-suited for those who primarily want a dependable everyday phone. Its call reception is good, and the speaker is loud enough for hands-free calls or casual video watching. All the contents of the box further add to its overall value proposition.
