Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G India Launch Date Confirmed, Key Specifications Leaked
Lava is preparing to expand its Virat smartphone lineup in India with the Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G, a new budget-focused handset that is expected to bring a large display, 5G connectivity and a high-capacity battery to the affordable smartphone segment. The company has confirmed that the phone will launch in India on August 24, 2026, with availability expected through Flipkart.
The upcoming device is expected to sit above the recently launched Lava Virat V1 5G. While Lava has not yet officially confirmed every specification of the Pro model, leaked details offer an early look at the hardware buyers can expect.
Large 120Hz Display
According to leaked specifications, the Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G could feature a 6.75-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The higher refresh rate should provide smoother scrolling, animations and supported gaming compared with conventional 60Hz panels. The reported resolution is 1600x720 pixels.
The large screen could make the handset appealing to consumers who frequently watch videos, browse social media or use their smartphones for entertainment.
Unisoc T8200 Processor
The smartphone is tipped to be powered by the Unisoc T8200 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU clocked at up to 2.3GHz and a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. The chipset is expected to target everyday performance and moderate gaming rather than compete with premium processors.
Reports suggest that Lava could offer the handset with 6GB and 8GB RAM options, while storage may be available at 128GB. A microSD card could reportedly expand storage by up to 1TB, although these details remain leaks until Lava officially confirms them.
Massive 7,000mAh Battery
One of the biggest highlights of the leaked specifications is the reported 7,000mAh battery. If confirmed, the capacity would make the Virat V1 Pro 5G particularly attractive to users who prioritise long battery life.
The phone is expected to target customers looking for extended usage for streaming, gaming, social media and navigation without frequent charging. Details about charging speed have not yet been officially confirmed.
Camera and Software
The Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G is expected to continue the company's focus on practical features and clean software. The existing Virat V1 5G comes with Android 16 and a near-stock software experience, while the Pro model is expected to follow a similar approach.
Lava has also emphasised durability and value in its Virat lineup. The standard Virat V1 5G features IP64 protection, and further details about the Pro model's cameras, software and durability certification are expected around the launch.
With its 120Hz display, Unisoc T8200 processor and potentially huge 7,000mAh battery, the Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G could become an interesting option in India's budget 5G smartphone market. More details, including its price and complete specifications, should become available when Lava officially introduces the device on August 24
