The company posted a teaser on X with the message “Coming Soon,” accompanied by four fire emojis. The emojis have led users to connect the post to the Lava Agni 4, given that “Agni” translates to “fire” in English. Soon after, Lava Mobiles Managing Director Sunil Raina added to the speculation by posting a similar message with four fire emojis and the word “Soon,” further fueling assumptions about the next device’s identity.

Earlier this month, Lava had already confirmed plans to launch the Lava Agni 4 in November, although the company did not share a specific launch date. The smartphone was shown in black, with a pill-shaped horizontal rear camera setup, which suggests a change in design compared to its predecessor. Additionally, a listing on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website indicates that the device is nearing its official debut.
