Set for an official launch on October 4, the homegrown brand has been building anticipation with teaser drops on social media, revealing key details about the device. The Agni 3 promises to be a feature-packed upgrade in Lava’s lineup, and here’s everything we know so far.
What’s New with the Lava Agni 3 5G?
According to teasers shared on X (formerly Twitter), Lava Agni 3 5G will boast a 50-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a key feature aimed at elevating photography experiences with sharper, more stable images. The camera module, housed in a sleek square layout on the rear, hints at a premium design philosophy. The teasers also show the device in two color options, adding a touch of personalization for buyers.
The Lava Agni 3 5G is expected to feature a 6.78-inch Full HD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and fluid visuals—ideal for gaming and media consumption. Under the hood, it is rumored to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC, marking a performance upgrade over its predecessor.

The Agni 2 also featured a 6.78-inch Full HD+ curved AMOLED display, 8GB of RAM, and a 4,700mAh battery with 66W fast charging—features that might carry over to the Agni 3, though with further enhancements.
What to Expect?
Lava has been steadily improving its smartphone offerings, and the Agni 3 5G could be a testament to the brand’s efforts to compete with international giants in the budget-friendly 5G space. With a powerful camera, cutting-edge processor, and a likely competitive price point, the Agni 3 could be the smartphone to watch this October.
