Editorial report
Lava Z40 technical sheet
The Lava Z40 suits basic phone use for someone looking for a small, light device; its main trade-off is a 2,250 mAh battery. It weighs 120 g, making it easy to carry, but battery capacity is limited and no fast-charging figures are provided.
Its 4-inch touchscreen has a resolution of 480 × 800 px and Gorilla Glass. The compact size fits a simple phone, while the resolution is modest. Android 8.1 comes with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage. Storage is expandable, which gives room for additional files, but does not change the amount of RAM.
Both the front and rear cameras are 2 MP. The rear camera records 720p video and includes HDR, burst mode, and manual ISO and white-balance controls. For connections, the phone has Dual Nano-SIM, LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.2. GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou handle navigation; there is also a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio.
Overall, the Lava Z40 is a basic, compact phone with low weight and essential features. Its 2,250 mAh battery, 1 GB RAM, and 2 MP cameras set clear limits. It is best suited to someone who values a light, uncomplicated phone over more memory, battery capacity, or camera resolution.
