Overview
- The Shark 2 5G, which Lava announced Tuesday, is priced at ₹11,999 and will go on sale through offline retailers in India from June 10 in Sonar Gold and Arya Blue.
- Lava equipped the phone with a 6.75-inch HD+ LCD that can run at 120Hz and a 6,000mAh battery, positioning the device for long screen-on time and smoother scrolling for basic daily use.
- The handset runs vanilla Android 16 with a promise of one Android version upgrade and two years of security patches, and the company says the software is ad- and bloatware-free.
- Core hardware balances value and limits: an entry-level Unisoc T8200 SoC, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage (expandable by microSD) and modest cameras of 13MP rear and 5MP front.
- Practical caveat that affects users’ charging experience: GSMArena reports the phone supports 18W wired charging but the bundled adapter is limited to 10W, which will slow real-world top-up times.
