The biggest highlight of the Lava Z50 is, of course, Android 8.1 Go, a lightweight fork of its beefier counterpart designed to run more efficiently on underpowered hardware. The software also features a specialized, trimmed-down set of Google apps like Google Go, Maps Go, which don’t require a ton of resources to function and roughly take only 1MB of space. Apart from that, however, the Lava Z50 is your usual run-in-the-mill entry-level Android phone. It has a standard, plastic design and comes with a 4.5-inch FWVGA 2.5D display with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass on top. In addition to that, the Z50 is powered by a MediaTek MT6737M quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage which is expandable, and a 2000mAh battery. There’s a 5-megapixel camera sensor on both the front and back accompanied by a single LED flash. The phone is compatible with 4G and two SIM cards as well. The Lava Z50 will be available in two color options — Black and Gold and has a two-year warranty. Lava has also partnered with Airtel to offer Rs 2,000 cashback which effectively brings down the sum to Rs 2,400.
