Lava Blaze Dragon and Blaze AMOLED 2 are launching this month
Lava has announced it will launch two new Blaze series smartphones this month, named Lava Blaze Dragon and Lava Blaze AMOLED 2. As evident from its name, the Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 will pack an AMOLED display. The press note we received from Lava doesn't specify the screen's diagonal or resolution, but describes the display as a "fast-refresh AMOLED display," so you can be certain that it will have a refresh rate of at least 90Hz. Lava Blaze Curve Lava says the Blaze AMOLED 2 is its "bold answer to Gen Z's growing expectations." The smartphone will have a sleek design, offer smooth performance, and run "clean stock Android." Additionally, the Indian brand said that the Blaze AMOLED 2 is a "benchmark for what mid-range smartphones should be." The Lava Blaze Dragon, on the other hand, is a "performance-first smartphone" which is "built for those who move fast, multitask hard, and game without limits." Lava said that the Blaze Dragon will come with a "responsive processor," high-speed storage, clean Android, dependable battery life, and a "confident build" to deliver "speed, stability, and stamina in every moment" to users. Expect to hear more about the Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 and Blaze Dragon in the coming days.
