Lava Mobile is offering its Agni 5G smartphone for free in exchange for Realme 8s. As part of its "#ChooseASide" campaign, the brand is urging Indians using Chinese smartphone maker Realme's 8s model to be 'real' and pick a side. At the time of writing, the company had stopped taking registrations for the smartphone exchange offer.
Both the Realme 8s and Lava Agni are similar on paper with the latter offering a slightly bigger screen and an extra 2MP camera. However, it supports 30W fast-charging as against Realme 8s's 33W fast-charging. It is not unusual for smartphone makers to promote their product by comparing it to rival brands. However, Lava's new marketing campaign is something we have never witnessed before.
The Lava Agni 5G has a punch-hole cut-out on the top-center, a prominent bottom bezel, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. On the rear, it has a rectangular camera bump. The handset sports a 6.78-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2460 pixels) IPS LCD screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz, a 396ppi pixel density, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
Under the hood, the Lava Agni 5G is fueled by a MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. At the heart, it boots Android 11OS out of the box. For connectivity, the smartphone offers support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, 5G, a 3.5mm audio jack, GPS, and a Type-C port.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the Lava Agni 5G comes with a quad rear camera module comprising a 64MP primary sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro snapper, and a 2MP depth lens. On the front, it sports a 16MP selfie shooter. The smartphone packs a 5,00mAh battery with 30W fast-charging support.
Lava Agni 5G carries a price-tag of Rs. 19,999 for the solo 8GB/128GB variant The smartphone comes in a single Fiery Blue finish. In comparison, the Realme 8s 5G costs Rs. 17,999 for the 6GB/128GB model and Rs. 19,999 for the 8GB/128GB variant. The handset comes in Blue, and Purple color options.
