Lava has expanded its affordable 5G smartphone lineup in India with the launch of the Lava Shark 2 Pro 5G. The new smartphone brings a large 6,000mAh battery, a 120Hz display, 5G connectivity and a 50-megapixel camera, while keeping the price below ₹17,000.
The Shark 2 Pro 5G is available in a single configuration with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It is being sold through Lava’s authorised online and offline retail channels in India.
Lava Shark 2 Pro 5G Price in India
The Lava Shark 2 Pro 5G price in India is ₹16,699 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. The phone is offered in Akash Blue and Nanda Silver colour options.
Lava is also offering its Free Service@Home programme, allowing customers across India to access doorstep after-sales support.
120Hz Display and 5G Connectivity
The smartphone features a large 6.75-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel has a resolution of 720 x 1,600 pixels and can reach up to 550 nits in High Brightness Mode.
The high refresh rate should make everyday scrolling, animations and supported games feel smoother, although the HD+ resolution keeps the phone positioned firmly in the budget segment.
The handset also carries an IP64 rating, offering protection against dust and water splashes.
Unisoc T8200 Processor
Powering the Lava Shark 2 Pro 5G is the 6nm Unisoc T8200 chipset, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Lava also supports up to 6GB of virtual RAM, while storage can be expanded by up to 1TB using a microSD card. However, the phone uses a hybrid SIM slot, meaning users must choose between a second SIM and the memory card.
For connectivity, the device supports dual-SIM 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth and USB Type-C.
50MP Camera and Vayu AI
The Shark 2 Pro 5G has a 50-megapixel AI rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera for selfies and video calls.
On the software side, the phone runs Android 16 with a clean, bloatware-free interface. Lava has promised one major Android OS upgrade and two years of security updates.
The smartphone also comes with Vayu AI, Lava’s own AI-powered assistant.
6,000mAh Battery With 18W Charging
Battery life is one of the key highlights of the Lava Shark 2 Pro 5G. The smartphone packs a 6,000mAh battery and supports 18W wired charging.
The large battery should appeal to users who spend considerable time watching videos, browsing social media or using mobile data throughout the day. The phone also retains a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is useful for users who prefer wired earphones.
