Homegrown brand Lava is gearing up to launch a new smartphone in India. The company recently shared a teaser for an upcoming handset on a microblogging site, revealing a key design element. It is teased to feature a dual display, with the secondary screen located at the back of the phone, alongside the camera island.

Lava's Upcoming Smartphone Launch

A new Lava smartphone will be launched in India soon, the company announced via an X post. Its launch date, however, has yet to be confirmed by the brand, and the teaser image mentions that it is “Coming Soon”.

The social media post reveals that the handset has a smaller, rectangular secondary display at the back, which is integrated into the rectangular-shaped camera island. It is accompanied by two lens rings for the dual camera setup. The embossed text on the rear panel reveals that the unannounced Lava smartphone will be equipped with a 50-megapixel AI camera setup.

The upcoming handset's moniker, however, is yet to be revealed. It is expected to follow in the footsteps of the Xiaomi 17 Pro models, which have secondary M10 displays at the back, with 3,500 nits of peak brightness.

Notably, the homegrown brand has also introduced two smartphones featuring dual displays in recent years. The Lava Agni 3, launched in October 2024, is equipped with a 1.74-inch AMOLED touchscreen on the rear panel. Meanwhile, the Lava Blaze Duo, introduced in December 2024, also sports a 1.58-inch (228x460 pixels) AMOLED screen located on the rear panel, with a 336ppi pixel density.
