The Lava Storm Play will be the first smartphone globally to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 chipset. This octa-core processor clocks up to 2.6GHz and includes an IMG BXM-8-256 GPU for graphics processing. The phone will come equipped with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, indicating a focus on performance and speed improvements. Design-wise, the Storm Play sports a boxy frame with rounded corners. The volume rocker and power buttons sit on the right side of the device.

In terms of camera, the Storm Play will house dual sensors, with one lens integrated into a visor-style module similar to that seen on Google Pixel phones. An LED flash sits alongside the camera setup, and a ‘50MP’ label is engraved near the sensors.

Lava Storm Lite: Key Features (Expected)

The Lava Storm Lite model will debut as the first phone in India to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor, an upgrade over the Dimensity 6300. It features a square camera module on the back with dual lenses and an LED flash. Like the Storm Play, the camera carries a ‘50MP’ marking. The phone’s right edge holds the volume rocker and power button. The Storm Lite appears in a beige or gold shade, while the Storm Play comes in blue.

Further details on features and pricing have not been disclosed yet. The Lava Storm 5G, launched in December 2023 at a price of Rs. 13,499, could offer a pricing reference point for the new models. The Storm Lite is expected to be a more affordable option compared to the Storm Play.
