The design and display of the Lava Virat Curve 5G are its biggest highlights. It features a 6.67-inch FHD+ 3D Curved AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, support for 1.07 billion colors, and a peak brightness of 1100 nits. This ensures vibrant visuals, deep blacks, and smooth scrolling, whether you are watching videos or gaming. Unique to its design is a small secondary display on the back panel that lets you check notifications, battery levels, and incoming alerts at a glance. The phone is built with a stylish vegan leather finish back panel and holds a MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification for durability, along with an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance. It also houses an in-display fingerprint sensor for quick and secure unlocking.
In terms of performance and software, the Lava Virat Curve 5G is powered by a 2.4 GHz MediaTek Dimensity 7100 octa-core 5G processor.
