Lava Aura Curve 5G Launched: Price ₹23,999, Specs

India’s homegrown smartphone maker Lava has launched a brand-new smartphone series, Aura, kicking it off with the Aura Curve 5G. The phone made its debut in India on October 21, 2026, and carries a price tag of ₹23,999 for its single 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. It will be sold exclusively through Lava’s offline retail partner network across the country.

What makes this launch stand out is the phone’s rear mini display — a secondary screen on the back panel that flashes notifications, controls music playback, shows battery status and even displays custom messages. Lava calls it a segment-first feature, and it gives the Aura Curve 5G a clear identity in the crowded mid-range segment.

Lava Aura Curve 5G Price and Availability

The Lava Aura Curve 5G is priced at ₹23,999 in India for the 6GB + 128GB configuration. It is available in two colour options — Ambar Blue and Him Silver — with a vegan leather finish on the back. Unlike most phones in this segment, the Aura Curve 5G is sold only through offline retail stores, as the new Aura series is built specifically for offline buyers. Lava also bundles its “Free Service @ Home” programme, which offers doorstep after-sales support across India.

Display: Curved AMOLED Up Front, Mini Screen at the Back

The phone sports a 6.67-inch Full HD+ 3D curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1,100 nits of peak brightness and 1,920Hz PWM dimming for comfortable viewing in bright light. The screen is protected by Al-Si DT Star 2 cover glass.

The headline act, though, is the secondary AMOLED screen on the rear. Placed next to the camera module, the mini display shows notification alerts, battery levels, music playback controls and custom text messages — so you can flash your name or a personal message on the back of your phone.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Aura Curve 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset, a 6nm octa-core processor clocked up to 2.4GHz with a Mali-G610 GPU. Lava claims the phone scores over 800,000 on AnTuTu. It is paired with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM — expandable with up to 6GB of virtual RAM — and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage.

A 6,000mAh battery keeps the lights on, and the phone supports 45W fast charging (a 33W charger ships in the box). Lava rates standby time at up to 720 hours.

Camera

For photography, the phone carries a 50MP Sony IMX752 primary sensor with electronic image stabilisation and 2K video recording. Camera modes include Night Mode, Pro Video, Dual-View Video, Motion Photo and Sports Mode. Selfies are handled by a 13MP front camera with screen flash.

Software: Android 16 With Vayu AI

The Aura Curve 5G runs Android 16 out of the box and ships with Lava’s own Vayu AI personal assistant features. Lava promises a clean experience — no pre-installed bloatware apps and no ads — along with two years of OS upgrades and three years of security updates.

Durability and Extras

The phone is built to take some punishment: it carries an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability certification and Lava’s IronGuard protection. Other extras include an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, dual-microphone noise cancellation, an IR blaster for controlling TVs and air conditioners, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4. The phone measures 8.55mm thick and weighs 184g.

Should You Buy the Lava Aura Curve 5G?

At ₹23,999, the Aura Curve 5G brings a curved 120Hz AMOLED display, a segment-first rear mini screen, a 6,000mAh battery and clean Android 16 software to the mid-range table. If you buy your phones offline and want something that stands out from the usual glass slabs, the Aura Curve 5G is worth a look at your nearest Lava retail store.
