Big upgrade in performance and storage The Lava Shark 2 4G is powered by the Octa-core UNISOC T7250 processor, which promises smoother multitasking and faster app launches.

A 50MP AI camera for sharper photos Photography is one of the strongest highlights of the Shark 2. The phone sports a 50MP AI-powered rear camera that promises crisp, detailed images even in varied lighting conditions.

Smooth visuals on a 120Hz HD+ display The Shark 2 comes with a 6.75-inch HD+ notch display with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate — a rare offering in this price range. The high refresh rate ensures smoother scrolling, lag-free gaming, and a more immersive viewing experience. Whether watching YouTube, bingeing shows, or swiping through social media, users will find the display sharp and fluid. Lava is clearly targeting entertainment-driven users who want better visuals without breaking the bank.

Long battery life with fast-charging support Battery life won’t be a concern with the 5000mAh battery inside the Shark 2. It supports 10W charging out of the box and 18W fast charging through a Type-C port, which means less time plugged in and more time in use. On top of that, the phone carries an IP54 rating, making it resistant to dust and water splashes — a thoughtful touch for users with active, on-the-go lifestyles.
Clean software, sleek design, and after-sales support The Shark 2 runs Android 15, free from ads and bloatware — something Lava has been praised for in recent launches. Users will also get one Android OS upgrade and two years of security updates, ensuring long-term reliability. The smartphone comes in two stylish colors — Eclipse Grey and Aurora Gold — designed to appeal to young buyers. Lava has also introduced Free Service@Home, allowing customers to access repair and support anywhere in India, reinforcing its consumer-first approach.
