The Lava Virat Curve 5G launched in India with a 6.67-inch 3D curved AMOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chip, a 50MP Sony main camera, and a 6,000mAh battery. A small mini display on the back is its most unusual feature. Let’s take a closer look at what the phone brings, along with its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
- 6.67″ 120Hz 3D curved AMOLED display
- MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset
- 50MP Sony rear camera + 13MP front camera
- 6,000mAh battery with 45W charging
- Rear mini display with MIL-STD-810H durability
Lava Virat Curve 5G Overview
Design and Display
The Lava Virat Curve 5G takes a softer, more premium approach to design. The curved body has a vegan leather back that feels pleasant in the hand. At 8.55mm thick and 184g, it stays easy to carry through the day. IP64 protection handles dust and light splashes. MIL-STD-810H certification adds extra confidence for outdoor use. Buyers can choose from Heritage Indigo, Ellora Slate, and Makrana Ivory.
The rear mini display inside the squircle camera module is the real attraction. It shows the time, battery level, volume changes, and notifications. Users can also set custom text and emojis. The idea feels similar to the Nothing Phone series. Up front, the 6.67-inch FHD+ 3D curved AMOLED display has a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness reaches 1,100 nits, which keeps the screen readable in direct sunlight. It also covers 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut, so videos and games look rich in color.
Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 7100 handles the workload here. It is a 6nm chip paired with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. An additional 6GB of virtual RAM is supported too. As a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 phone, it should manage app switching, browsing, video streaming, and social media without much trouble.
Casual gaming works fine at lower graphics settings. Demanding titles and heavy workloads may push the chip a little too hard. On the software side, the phone runs Android 16 with a fairly clean interface, so the experience feels less cluttered. Lava promises two years of major OS upgrades and three years of security updates, which is a fair commitment for this segment.
Camera
The rear camera setup is built around a 50MP Sony IMX752 main sensor with EIS, which helps keep handheld shots and videos steadier. A 2MP secondary sensor sits beside it. In good light, the main camera should capture sharp and detailed photos. Low-light shots may struggle since the setup depends mostly on one sensor. Casual shooters will find it enough for social media posts.
The front camera is a 13MP sensor for selfies and video calls. It also supports screen flash, which helps with selfies in dim rooms. Overall, the Virat Curve camera setup keeps things simple. It suits everyday photos better than serious mobile photography, so enthusiasts may want to look at other options.

Battery and Connectivity
The 6,000mAh battery should last through a full day of regular use. It supports 45W fast charging, but the box includes a 33W charger. Lava claims up to 55 hours of talk time and 660 minutes of YouTube playback on a single charge.
The phone supports dual Nano-SIM 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, and USB Type-C with OTG. An IR blaster is included too. For security, it has an in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock. Together, these cover the basics most buyers expect.
