Lava has introduced the Aura Curve 5G in India as smartphone makers use design and practical features to stand out in the crowded mid-range market. Priced below Rs 25,000, the new handset pairs a curved AMOLED panel with a small rear display, a 6,000mAh battery, and MediaTek’s Dimensity 7100 chipset. Its positioning is also worth noting, as the Aura Curve is designed for customers who prefer buying their phones from physical stores rather than online platforms.
The device shares several specifications with Lava’s Virat Curve 5G, launched in September, but arrives under the company’s new Aura series.
