The phone comes with a modern design and is available in two stylish finishes — Champagne Gold and Royal Blue. It also carries an IP54 rating, making it resistant to dust and light splashes.

Performance and Software

At its core, the device is powered by the 6nm UNISOC T765 chipset, which combines 2 Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.3GHz with 6 Cortex-A55 efficiency cores up to 2.1GHz. Paired with the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, the chipset offers reliable performance for everyday tasks and light gaming.

The phone features 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM, expandable up to 8GB with RAM expansion, and comes with either 64GB or 128GB UFS 2.2 storage, further expandable up to 1TB via microSD. On the software front, Lava ensures a clean Android 15 experience with no pre-installed bloatware, along with 1 major Android update and 2 years of security patches.

Cameras

For photography, the Lava Bold N1 5G offers a 13MP primary rear camera paired with a secondary sensor and LED flash. It also supports 4K video recording, which is rare in this price segment. On the front, a 5MP selfie shooter handles video calls and basic photography.

Battery and Charging

The smartphone packs a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging via USB Type-C. However, Lava includes only a 10W charger in the box, meaning users will need to purchase a separate 18W adapter to take full advantage of the fast-charging capability.

Connectivity and Security

The Lava Bold N1 5G supports 5G SA/NSA networks, along with 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS + GLONASS. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, providing quick and reliable access.
