Domestic smartphone maker Lava has launched a new handset, the Z60s. Priced at Rs 4,949, the smartphone is a successor to the Z60, which was launched late last year.
Lava Z60s is an affordable smartphone that comes with a pretty basic set of specifications. It’s powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core chipset, paired with 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage. The Z60s has a 5-inch HD display of 720×1280 pixels resolution, complete with 2.5D glass. It comes with Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition) out-of-the-box.
For imaging, Lava Z60s has a 5-megapixel auto-focus rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front-facing snapper. Both cameras support bokeh mode, and are accompanied by LED flash. The smartphone has all standard connectivity features (including 4G VoLTE), and is backed by a 2,500mAh battery.
