With this smartphone, the Indian mobile maker is targeting the lower income segment. The company claims that it will be the cheapest 5G handset in the country. According to a report by Hindustan Times’ sister publication, Live Hindustan, the company said that Lava Blaze 5G price will be around ₹10,000.
