LAVA EXPANDS VIRAT SERIES WITH THE ALL-NEW PRO AT INR 13999

Lava International Limited, India’s leading homegrown smartphone brand, announced the launch of the Virat V1 Pro 5G bringing together a premium experience coupled with powerful performance, durability and expansive memory for consumers. Designed to deliver with opulence, Virat V1 Pro will be available on Flipkart under Lava’s online first series- Virat starting 31st August at 12PM.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Sumit Singh, SVP and Head of Product, Lava International Limited, said, “Virat V1 Pro 5G is built on extensive research undertaken to identify real gaps in the market and deliver a strong value proposition for our users. The device is engineered for high performance, wrapped in a stylish design and equipped with good storage under the $200 segment. As the mobile industry navigates a challenging phase marked by a disrupted supply chain and inconsistent pricing, our focus with the Pro series was to build a customer-first product that delivers genuine value for discerning audiences in the under INR 20,000 segment. Backed by strong research insights, I am confident that the new Virat V1 Pro 5G will stand out as one of the leading options in its category and mark another success for the Virat series."

Built to keep going, long after others have stopped. A 6000mAh battery powers the Virat V1 Pro through extended everyday use, offering up to 40 hours of talk time, 650 hours of standby time and 760 minutes of YouTube playback — ideal for those who lean on their phone for entertainment, communication and everything in between. When it's time to power up again, 18W Type C Fast charging gets you back in the game fast.

Every moment deserves to be captured well. The Virat V1 Pro features a 50MP AI rear camera loaded with a full creative toolkit — Night Mode, HDR, Portrait, Film, Pro Mode, and Motion Photo — for shots that do justice to the moment. Dual-View Video lets you capture two perspectives simultaneously, while 2K video recording at 30fps adds cinematic clarity. Up front, an 8MP camera* ensures selfies and video calls look just as sharp.

Some phones ask for attention, Virat V1 Pro commands it. The Virat V1 Pro 5G features a 17.13 cm (6.745") HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 550 nits HBM brightness — delivering a smooth, responsive viewing experience whether you're gaming, streaming or simply scrolling through your day. Wrapped in a premium glossy black finish, the design catches the light from every angle and is available in two striking colourways — Sikkim Midnight and Spiti Frost.

Stay connected, your way. The Virat V1 Pro 5G supports dual 5G SIM connectivity for flexible network access, paired with Bluetooth 5.4 and a Hybrid SIM slot that adapts to you — 2 Nano SIMs, or 1 SIM + 1 microSD card. Unlocking is effortless too, with side-mounted fingerprint unlock and Face Unlock built in for added convenience.

The Virat V1 Pro 5G will be available on Flipkart starting 31st August 2026 at 12 PM. The smartphone will also be available through Lava’s retail network starting September 2026 as the Shark 2 Pro 5G.
