Display and Performance
The Aura Curve's front is taken up by a 6.67-inch full-HD+ AMOLED panel with a 3D curved design. The screen can refresh at up to 120Hz and get as bright as 1,100 nits. Powering the phone is MediaTek's 6nm Dimensity 7100 octa-core processor, which Lava claims crosses 800,000 points on AnTuTu. It comes with 6GB of LPDDR5 memory and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
Software and AI Features
Out of the box, the phone runs Android 16, and Lava has committed to two OS upgrades and three years of security updates. It also includes Lava's Vayu AI suite, which offers AI Circle Search, AI Call Summary and AI Voice Translation in 80 languages. A tipster claims the software is free of bloatware and ads.

Cameras and Rear Display
For photography, the Aura Curve uses a dual rear camera setup headed by a 50MP Sony IMX752 sensor. Selfies and video calls are handled by a 13MP front camera. Placed under the cameras, the rear mini display lets users check notifications, battery status and the time, or show custom messages.
Battery and Build
Keeping the phone running is a 6,000mAh battery that supports 45W wired charging, though the tipster says the bundled charger is rated at 33W. Lava says a full charge can deliver up to 660 minutes of YouTube streaming.
The handset has been certified under the MIL-STD-810H durability standard and is IP64-rated, protecting it against dust and splashes. The tipster adds that it is 8.55mm thick, weighs 184 grams and comes with an IR blaster.
