Lava just launched the Bold N4 Pro 5G in India, and it's landing at a price that'll make your wallet smile. The phone is hitting the market at Rs 13,999 for its lone 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, which the company's calling a special introductory offer. It goes live on Amazon from September 26 at noon, available in Monaco Blue and Opulent Lilac.

The specs are honest-to-goodness solid for the money. You're getting a 6.75-inch HD+ LCD display with 120Hz refresh rate and a waterdrop notch, the Unisoc T8200 5G chipset under the hood, and a 50MP main camera paired with a secondary sensor. But the real showstopper here is the 6000mAh battery with 18W charging, which should comfortably get you through a full day on regular use. Android 16 comes straight out of the box with minimal bloatware, something Lava's actually making a point about since so many budget phones load you up with junk.

You also get expandable storage up to 1TB, a 3.5mm headphone jack for the audio purists, Bluetooth 5.4, dual SIM support, and IP64 water and dust resistance. There's a side-facing fingerprint scanner and virtual RAM expansion to bump your multitasking headroom. It's not flashy, but it covers all the bases.

Here's the kicker: this phone is basically a rebranded Virat V1 Pro 5G, which launched at Rs 15,999 with identical specs. So if you were eyeing that one, timing matters before Lava pulls the plug on the launch pricing. Comparisons to the Tecno POP X 5G, Realme Narzo 100 Lite 5G, and Redmi 15A 5G show those rivals have some advantages like faster chips or bigger batteries, but the Lava wins on camera sensor quality and RAM. If clean software and battery life matter more to you than gaming prowess, this could be a no-brainer.
