Comparisons Featuring Lava V5
Short Review
- The Lava V5 features a sleek design with dimensions of 151.9 x 76.7 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 153.2g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6735 chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and 3GB of RAM, which handles basic tasks adequately.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and PDAF, capable of recording 1080p video, while an 8 MP front camera caters to selfies.
- The 3000 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.1 Lollipop, it can be upgraded to 6.0 Marshmallow, offering a user-friendly experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Lava V5 presents a balanced set of features for everyday use.
