If you think affordable smartphones tend to skimp on style, then the new Lava Yuva 2 5G aims to challenge that notion head-on. This 5G budget smartphone arrives at a special introductory price of ₹9,499 and sports a unique backlight notification system that blinks when you receive calls or messages. In a world filled with buzzing handsets, this extra dash of flair might just keep your phone from vanishing into the crowd of everyday devices.
From the outside, the Yuva 2 5G greets you with a 6.67-inch HD+ punch-hole display, offering up to 700 nits of brightness. So, whether you’re binge-watching your favourite show under the sun or scrolling through social media, visibility should remain crisp. Pair that with a 90Hz refresh rate and the promise of silky-smooth swipes, and you’ve got a display that’s not just big but also reasonably responsive.

Under the hood, the phone draws its power from an octa-core 5G processor, namely the UNISOC T760. With an AnTuTu score topping 440K, it’s designed to handle multiple apps, moderate gaming, and general social media usage with minimal fuss. Assisting it is a combination of 4GB+4GB RAM (8GB effective) and 128GB UFS 2.2 internal storage, offering a reasonable playground for your photos, music, and videos.
Speaking of photos, the Yuva 2 5G is equipped with an advanced camera system. A 50MP+2MP AI Rear Camera setup aims to deliver fine detail and colour accuracy, while the 8MP Selfie Camera is neatly tucked in that punch-hole design. For audio enthusiasts, the dual stereo speakers promise louder, clearer tunes, whether you’re blasting a podcast or belting out your favourite tracks in the shower (though we don’t necessarily recommend the latter).
If battery life ranks high on your priority list, a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging is on hand to keep the lights on. The phone ships with a clean version of Android 14—so yes, it’s an Android 14 smartphone—which means minimal bloatware and a smoother interface. A side fingerprint sensor covers security, plus face unlock if you’re feeling fancy. And for those who are new to smartphones, an at-home service policy is available to keep potential hassles to a minimum.

While it’s not set out to topple the most powerful flagships, the Lava Yuva 2 5G does look like a practical choice for users craving 5G without punching a hole in their wallet. The stunning notification light adds a dash of fun, giving budget seekers something a little beyond the ordinary.
