Comparisons Featuring Lava A89
Short Review
- The Lava A89 features a simple design with dimensions of 145.5 x 72 x 9.1 mm and a weight of 157 grams, available in black and white colors.
- It has a 5.0-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.

- Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is limited by its age and lack of updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
