Lava has also announced the rollout of its new customer-centric initiative, which will allow users to experience Lava's flagship series right at their doorstep

Home-grown smartphone maker Lava is set to launch the Shark 5G in India on May 23. Ahead of the official launch, the company has revealed key specifications of the upcoming device, including details about its camera, display, and chipset. Notably, Lava has confirmed that the Shark 5G will debut in the sub-Rs 10,000 price segment. The 4G version of the smartphone was launched earlier in March at Rs 6,999.

Lava Shark 5G: What to expect

The Lava Shark 5G is expected to feature a dual-camera set-up, with a circular design for the LED flash array. The company has confirmed that the smartphone will sport a 13MP AI-powered rear camera, designed to capture clear, detailed images across varying lighting conditions. It is likely to be powered by the Unisoc T765 system-on-chip, paired with 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

Lava stated that the inclusion of LPDDR4X RAM will enhance multitasking performance, allow smoother app switching, and offer better memory management—particularly for users who consume a lot of content via social media, streaming platforms, and communication apps.
