Lava is getting ready to refresh its Agni lineup, and its latest teaser gives us an early look at what to expect from the upcoming Agni 4. The phone is confirmed to launch in India sometime in November, and if the company’s new post is anything to go by, this year’s model is getting a noticeable design upgrade.

In a teaser shared on X, Lava wrote “Forged from metal—because plastic dreams shatter,” pretty much spelling out that the Agni 4 will switch to a metal build. The accompanying image shows the phone’s frame with visible antenna lines — a staple of metal-framed phones — along with metal-finished power and volume buttons. But it’s not just the materials getting an upgrade: the Agni 4 also moves to a completely flat design, a major shift from the curved builds of the Agni 2 and Agni 3.

On the specs side, leaks suggest the Agni 4 will sit in the ₹25,000 price bracket. It’s expected to feature a 6.78-inch display and run on the MediaTek Dimensity 8350, a 4nm chip. One of its biggest talking points could be the battery — the phone is rumored to pack over 7,000mAh, which would be one of the largest capacities in its class.

Last year’s Agni 3 launched at ₹20,999 and offered a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, a 50MP + 8MP + 8MP rear configuration (that includes a 3x telephoto), and even a secondary 1.74-inch AMOLED screen on the back — something the Agni 4 isn’t expected to carry forward.

The Agni 4 seems to be trading some specifications for a sturdier build, faster hardware, and a massive battery — a direction that could appeal to users who prefer practicality over flashy add-ons.

Lava’s audio division, Probuds, has introduced the Probuds N33, its first neckband with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The device has a metallic finish, flexible build, and 13mm dynamic bass drivers that deliver balanced sound for music, calls, and gaming.

The Probuds N33 reduces outside noise by up to 30dB through ANC and includes Transparency Mode for hearing ambient sounds when needed. Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) helps improve voice clarity during calls. For gaming, the Pro Game Mode brings 45ms low latency for better sound synchronization during gameplay or video streaming.

It runs on a 300mAh battery that offers up to 40 hours of playback with ANC off and 31 hours with ANC on. A quick 10-minute charge provides 10 hours of playback, and a full charge takes around an hour through a Type-C port. Bluetooth v5.4 ensures stable connectivity, and Dual Device Pairing allows connection with two devices simultaneously.

The neckband also includes a Magnetic Hall Switch for automatic power control and 4-button in-line controls for managing music and calls. With an IPX5 water resistance rating, it can withstand sweat and light splashes, making it suitable for workouts and daily use.

The Lava Probuds N33 is priced at ₹1,299 and is available in Obsidian Black and Cosmic Teal Green. It will be available to purchase through Lava’s official e-store and offline retail outlets across India.
