Lava Z61 review: Budget smartphone with good camera, adequate performance

The Lava Z61 is a modern-day device designed for social media enthusiasts but lacks the overall dynamism

Home-grown smartphone manufacturer Lava, known for their affordable handsets, smartphones and tablets, has launched Z61, a budget phone with modern features at Rs 6,750. The phone has a 5.45-inch HD+ touchscreen display with 2.5D gorilla glass protection on top of it. It is stretched in 18:9 aspect ratio, which gives it a tall stance. The screen supports multi touch, but the touch response is weak and there is a noticeable lag that dampens multi-touch utility.

The Lava Z61 packs an 8-megapixel primary camera and a 5MP front shooter for selfies. The primary camera has f/2.0 aperture, 1.12 micron pixel size
