After Micromax, homegrown company Lava has re-entered the smartphone market in India today. The company has unveiled its new Z-series, which includes four variants, along with its first-ever fitness band. Lava’s Z-series smartphones, including the Lava Z1, Z2, Z4, and Z6 feature HD+ displays, MediaTek SoCs, up to triple-camera arrays, and a lot more.

The Lava Z2, Z4, and Z6 boast the exact same design and are pretty identical in terms of specifications as well. The only major difference between these three variants is the RAM+storage options and camera array on the rear.

Finally, we have the entry-level Lava Z1, which is the first phone designed by Lava in India. The company seems to have picked up one of its designs from back in 2015 for this smartphone. It looks dated with capacitive buttons and massive bezels.

Lava Z1 sports a 5-inch HD+ LCD display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It is backed by MediaTek’s Helio A20 chipset, along with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage (expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card). There’s a measly 3,100mAh battery on board as well. This smartphone features a 5MP camera on the front and rear, which is okay at its Rs. 5,499 price point. But, it runs Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box and it’s very disappointing in 2020.

In addition to the new Z-series, Lava also announced the My Z program. The company boasts that it now offers the “world’s first customizable smartphone.” It will allow you to customize the internal specifications of the smartphone to your liking. You can pick the rear cameras, selfie camera, RAM, storage, and color option, as shown in the image below.

Last but not least, Lava also unveiled its first-ever fitness band ‘BeFIT’ at the virtual event in India today. It is an affordable fitness tracker which takes on the likes of Mi Band 5 and the upcoming OnePlus Band with some unique new features.
