Editorial report

Lava BeU technical sheet

The Lava BeU suits someone after a simple, lightweight phone who can accept a smaller battery and slower charging than most phones launched around the same time. Its 4,060 mAh battery charges at 10 W, two notable compromises for anyone who prioritizes battery capacity and charging speed.

The 6.08-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1560 px resolution and 281 ppi pixel density, below average for phones of its time. At 175.8 g, the BeU weighs less than most phones launched around the same time. Its 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage leave less room and memory than most phones from that period, though storage is expandable.

The rear main camera has 13 MP resolution and an f/1.85 aperture, and records 1080p video. Overall, its camera is worse than most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity includes 4G, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, dual Nano-SIM, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Connectivity and performance are among the weakest of its time, as is the overall result. The Lava BeU has a NeoScore of 3.0. It is a basic option for someone who values lower weight more than battery capacity, charging speed and hardware resources.
