Editorial report

Lava Z3 technical sheet

The Lava Z3 suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone for everyday essentials; its main compromise is limited memory. This version has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, both among the lowest figures of its time. Storage is expandable, though that does not add to the RAM.

Its IPS LCD display measures 6.52 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px, with 269 ppi—lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The rear camera has an 8 MP resolution, among the weakest of its time, while the front camera is 5 MP. Android 11 and Google Services are included.

The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh, typical for phones of its time, but 10 W charging is slower than that of most. Connectivity includes two Nano-SIM cards, USB Type-C, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, the Lava Z3 is worse than most phones launched around the same time, with an overall NeoScore of 3.7. It is a fit for buyers who prioritize basic features, expandable storage, and dual SIM, and can accept limited RAM and storage, a modest camera resolution, and slower charging.
