Lava Virat Curve 5G Launched in India at ₹23,999: Price, Specs and Flipkart Sale Date

Indian smartphone maker Lava has launched the Lava Virat Curve 5G in India, and the term "lava virat" saw roughly 500% search growth on Google Trends in the 24 hours to 27 September 2026. The phone's headline attractions are a 3D curved AMOLED display, a 6,000mAh battery and a small secondary screen on the back — features rarely seen together under ₹25,000. The single 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant is priced at ₹23,999, with bank offers bringing the effective price down to about ₹19,999–₹20,000, and sales on Flipkart began on 28 September 2026.

Lava Virat Curve 5G price in India and sale details

Lava has priced the Virat Curve 5G at ₹23,999 for its only variant — 6GB RAM with 128GB storage, as reported by Eenadu. Bank offers can reduce the effective price to ₹19,999, though the exact discount depends on the card and offer period, so buyers should check the Flipkart listing before purchasing. According to Asianet News Telugu, the phone went on sale via Flipkart from 7 PM on 28 September 2026, in three colour options: Heritage Indigo, Makrana Ivory and Ellora Slate.

Display, design and the rear mini screen

The Virat Curve 5G's standout feature is its 6.67-inch full HD+ (2400 × 1080) 3D curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,100 nits peak brightness. Curved AMOLED panels have largely been confined to phones above ₹30,000, which is the gap Lava is targeting. A second, pill-shaped mini display sits below the rear cameras and can show the time, notifications, battery level, volume, emojis and custom messages — letting users glance at basic information without picking up the phone.

Performance, cameras and battery

The phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset with 6GB of RAM plus 6GB of virtual RAM expansion, aimed at everyday tasks, social media, video streaming and casual gaming. For photography, it carries a 50MP Sony IMX752 main camera with 2K video recording at 30fps and 10x digital zoom, alongside a 13MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

The 6,000mAh battery supports 45W fast charging, though Lava bundles a 33W charger in the box — so buyers wanting full-speed charging will need a compatible 45W adapter. Lava claims up to 55 hours of talk time, 11 hours of continuous YouTube playback and 720 hours of standby; these are company figures, not independent test results.

Software and durability

The Virat Curve 5G ships with Android 16, and Lava has promised two major OS upgrades and three years of security updates. It also carries MIL-STD 810H military-grade durability certification and an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, plus an IR blaster, dual stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock.

How it fits Lava's lineup and the market

The launch came days after Lava's Bold N4 Pro 5G, a ₹13,999 phone with a 6,000mAh battery and 120Hz HD+ display that went on sale on Amazon from 26 September 2026, per Gizbot Telugu. The two phones target different buyers: the Bold N4 Pro prioritises battery life on a tight budget, while the Virat Curve 5G spends more on a curved AMOLED screen and distinctive design. Against rivals in the ₹20,000–₹25,000 segment, the Virat Curve's curved display and rear mini screen are its clearest differentiators; buyers who prioritise camera performance or longer software support may still want to compare alternatives in this crowded price band.

The Google Trends spike reflects search curiosity around the launch, not verified sales figures — actual availability and offer pricing may vary by region and bank.
