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.
