Short Review

  • The Lava A97 2GB+ features a compact design with dimensions of 145 x 72 x 9.2 mm and a weight of 160g, available in Gold, Silver, and Blue.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which may limit clarity in high-detail content.
  • Powered by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Spreadtrum SC9832 chipset and 2GB of RAM, the performance is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with multitasking.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies, though both lack advanced features like optical image stabilization.
  • Video recording is limited to 720p at 30fps.
  • The 2350 mAh battery provides moderate usage time but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the software experience is straightforward but may not include the latest features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and the inclusion of a headphone jack are notable in its audio setup.
  • Overall, the Lava A97 2GB+ is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced capabilities.
