Comparisons Featuring Lava Z90
Short Review
- The Lava Z90 features a compact design with dimensions of 148.5 x 73.1 x 8.1 mm and a weight of 159g, available in Blue and Gold colors.
- It sports a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 282 ppi.
