Lava Blaze 3 5G

The Lava Blaze 3 5G has a standard, non-folding form factor with dimensions of 164.3 x 76.2 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 201 g. Its total volume comes in at approximately 107.67 cm³. The device does not feature a rugged build and carries no water resistance rating, meaning it lacks any certified protection against moisture or dust exposure.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G uses an IPS LCD touchscreen measuring 6.56 inches with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 267 ppi. The panel supports a 90Hz refresh rate, offering smoother on-screen motion during everyday use. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and there is no support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision. An Always-On Display mode is not available, and the device has no secondary screen.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a 6nm octa-core chipset running at 2 x 2.4 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz, with 8 threads and support for big.LITTLE and HMP technologies for efficient workload distribution. Graphics are handled by the integrated Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocked at 950 MHz, with DirectX 12 support. The device comes with 6GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2133 MHz and 128GB of internal storage, while the chipset supports a maximum memory configuration of up to 12GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 17.07 GB/s. Cache consists of 512 KB L1, 1 MB L2, and 2 MB L3. In benchmark testing, it achieves an AnTuTu score of 421,000, a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 2,012, and a single-core score of 782. The SoC also includes integrated LTE, supports 64-bit processing, and features multithreading capabilities.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G features a dual rear camera system with a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary lens, both using CMOS technology, though without a back-illuminated sensor or optical image stabilization. The main camera supports phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording, while manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance — though manual shutter speed is not available. It can record video at 1440 x 30 fps, with additional support for slow-motion capture, timelapse, HDR mode, burst shooting, and in-camera panoramas; 360-degree panorama, HDR10 recording, and Dolby Vision recording are not supported. A standard LED flash is present on the rear, but there is no dual-tone flash, RGB flash, or front-facing flash. The 8MP front camera is a single-lens unit positioned conventionally — not under the display — and does not shoot in RAW format. Laser autofocus and 3D photo or video recording capabilities are absent across the camera system, and optical zoom stands at 0x.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G runs on Android 14, a free and open-source platform that supports multi-user profiles, voice commands, offline voice recognition, and on-device machine learning. Privacy features include clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. On the customization side, the OS offers dynamic theming, theme customization, dark mode, an extra dim mode, customizable notifications, and widget support. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text for selecting text from images, and the ability to play games while they download. A child lock, battery health check, and device position tracking are also present, while focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not available on this device.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 18W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is available to monitor charge status. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G includes stereo speakers and a built-in radio. It does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and none of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G supports 5G connectivity along with Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and accommodates two SIM cards. Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC are both present, and the device offers a maximum download speed of 3300 MBits/s. It connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, and includes an external memory slot for expandable storage. For navigation, GPS, Galileo, and a digital compass are supported. On-board sensors include an accelerometer, while a gyroscope, barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and motion or optical tracking are not available. Biometric security is handled by a fingerprint scanner; 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not included. The device does not support ANT+, DLNA, HDMI output, emergency SOS via satellite, crash detection, or a built-in projector, and no stylus is included.

The Lava Blaze 3 5G includes a video light for recording in low-light conditions. The display is flat rather than curved, and the device uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper screen.
