Good as a secondary device and even a primary as per your requirements. Clean operating system - No ads - No Bloatware. It's better than Samsung F34 and Moto G54, as per my experience, in terms of Performance. Multitasking is smooth without any noticeable lag or heating issues. Battery backup is decent and lasts up to a full day. The phone is fully charged in 70-80 minutes. Full HD display used in this device is of superior grade and won't disappoint you, but it's not AMOLED. Did not play any games on it so not sure about gaming. Overall, it's a decent device for everyday use from our Indian company, Lava, which seems to be working quite hard to give hiccups to other well-known brands by launching better-performing and good-looking devices at a reasonable price for everyone. Go for it and you won't regret the decision.

Go with an open mind and given its cost it is a great phone to have. In certain cases LAVA has created a good product which will give tough fight to mid range phones too.Pros1) Assembled in India by an Indian firm so profits are registered in India and not in some hostile place.2) Nice screen3) Decent camera4) Stock Android so no bloat ware5) 128 GB storage which is expandable with dedicated SD card slot. This phone would have been good even with 64 GB storage. In fact Lava should come out with 6GB RAM 64/128 GB storage variant and 8 GB RAM 128/256 GB storage variant. This is not a complaint but a mere suggestion.6) For it price point has very good gaming.7) Has a 3.5 mm audio/mic jack.Cons1) Battery drains very fast. If we have battery at 100% at 10:00 pm then by next day 10:00 am it becomes 90% even if the phone is not used.2) Only dual camera setup but again please consider the price point before considering this as a negative.3) A bit bulky and thick but feels good in hand. It is not like the thin and slim phones.4) Lack of NFC, again please do consider the price point and then consider this as a negative.5) Single speaker setup which is not loud enough6) Can be used in India alone. Cannot roam outside India with this, does not support sufficient LTE/5G bands. For example it will not work with US carriers. This phone has support for LTE Band 1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41 only. Among this only LTE Band 5 (US Cellular and Verizon) and LTE Band 41 (Sprint) are used in US.7) Uses a Mediatek processor. Lava should have put in a Qualcomm processor into this.

Since I'm an existing customer of Lava brand, I had the full confidence in their product. May be that is the reason I didn't brainstorm much before purchasing this phone. Initial days use and I can say that this phone doesn't disappoint at all. It's a good looking phone with premium touch. Feels very good in hand. Performance is good. Didn't face any lagging or heating issue. Front camera is surprisingly good (better than my lava agni 2). Back camera is satisfactory and justifies the price tag it comes with. Also it comes with clean android with expandable memory of 1 TB.The only dissatisfaction I've with this phone is its sound quality. Speaker is loud and clear but at times it feels like sound is shaking and while listening songs on speaker the tone of the song suddenly increases and then decreases. Maybe future software update will resolve this problem.Overall it's an extremely good phone and deserves praise for the features it provides at this price range. And being an Indian brand is just cherry on the cake.
