Lava has added a new model to its budget 5G lineup in India with the launch of the Bold 2 5G. The phone arrives as the successor to last year’s Bold 5G.

The Bold 2 5G features a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the curved panel used on its predecessor, Lava has opted for a 2.5D display. Many users find it more practical for everyday use, as it doesn’t suffer from accidental touches as much as curved displays. It retains the in-display fingerprint scanner from last year.

The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 chipset, replacing the Dimensity 6300 found in the previous model. It comes with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of storage, along with support for virtual RAM expansion of up to 6GB. Lava is shipping the device with Android 15, and like many of the company’s recent phones, the software experience is expected to remain clean, without unnecessary pre-installed apps.

For cameras, the Bold 2 5G carries a 50MP main sensor paired with a secondary camera that assists with depth or macro shots. On the front, the phone uses an 8MP selfie camera. Unfortunately, this appears to be a downgrade from the predecessor’s 16MP selfie camera.

Battery capacity remains fairly standard for this category. The phone packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging, which Lava says should comfortably last a full day under typical usage.

Interestingly, the device manages to stay quite slim at 7.55mm, despite the large battery. Lava has also included IP64 dust and water resistance, something that still isn’t very common in this price bracket.

The Lava Bold 2 5G will be available in Feather White and Midnight Black color options. Pricing starts at ₹12,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant, including bank offers and coupons. The phone is scheduled to go on sale via Amazon India starting March 19.

With features like an AMOLED display, clean Android software, and a capable mid-range chipset, the Bold 2 5G appears to be Lava’s attempt at offering a balanced budget 5G device without pushing the price too high.
