Camera Quality

There is no OIS but the EIS works well, however, the absence of OIS does feel when shooting videos while walking or running.

The 50MP primary sensor takes good images under good lighting but when it comes to low light, it suffers a little bit.

It tries to soften the images and adds a little bit of noise.

The colors are not natural, you will get a bit of saturated colors which is not a bad thing as most of the brands are doing the same in the budget segment.

Now, the 8MP ultra-wide lens is there which is good but it’s not that great. 

8MP ultra-wide lens,

My advice would be, don’t use it under low light.

So yes, the ultra-wide lens needs lots of improvement.

Unlike a rear camera, the front camera has a dynamic range issue. It’s not able to manage the background light properly.

Again, the front images come a bit on the whiter side and more colourful which is the case with most budget smartphones.

Overall, it would be good, if Lava works on the front cameras as well as the night photography.

Display Quality

Never thought that the Indian Mobile Brand would provide a 120Hz 10bit curved AMOLED display at Rs 21999 but hey, things are changing for good.

The phone has 950 nits brightness which is good enough for outdoor usage,

The front is protected with Scott sensation glass but still, make sure you use the screen protection because you know “glass is glass and it can break”

Overall, for the price of Rs 21999, the Lava Agni 2 5G has a solid display that too comes with a curved panel.

Performance

Mediatek Dimensity 7050 provided the same performance as the Mediatek Dimensity 1080

it’s just that, MediaTek has changed the name but didn’t bother to work on other stuff.

The good news is that PUBG New State supports 90fps while COD Mobile supports smooth to high graphics.

The Lava Agni 2 5G doesn’t have the pure stock UI but also, it doesn’t have the ads like RealMe or even Xiaomi phones which is another plus point.

Overall, the Lava Agni 2 5G provides a decent performance along with a smooth software experience.

For 5G, Lava has added 13 5G bands, so if your city has a 5G network then you will be able to take advantage of the 5G network.

Audio

No audio jack or even dual speaker, you have to use a single speaker which is not good for the Rs 21999 smartphone.

But, hey, Lava has also added features like a curved display, so this may be justifiable.

Battery Life

The 4,700mAh battery will last for a day but

yes, if you’re a heavy user who plays games, uses social media, takes calls, video calls, and much more then gets ready to charge the device twice a day.

Lava has also included a 66W charger in the box which will take only 16 minutes to charge from 0% to 50%.

Verdict

Concluding everything from price to features, Lava Agni 2 5G is the perfect smartphone for those users who don’t play games all the time and wanted ads free smartphone for Rs 21999.
