The smartphone is expected to use a Unisoc T8200 chipset with an octa-core CPU clocked at up to 2.3GHz and a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. The report claims that Lava could offer the phone with 6GB and 8GB of RAM, while storage may be limited to 128GB. A microSD card could expand the available storage by up to 1TB.
For photography, the Virat V1 Pro 5G is expected to have a 50-megapixel AI dual rear camera setup. Details about the front camera have not been revealed. The report also does not specify the phone's battery capacity, although it lists support for up to 18W charging. The smartphone is expected to run Android 16 and support 5G connectivity. Other reported connectivity features include Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 and a USB Type-C port. It is also expected to include a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
