Lava Blaze Duo 5G Design
The Lava Blaze Duo 5G stands out in terms of looks, primarily due to its minimal design. On the front, users get a curved screen with a punch-hole screen at the top, albiet with a thicker bottom chin. On the rear, there’s a massive rectangular camera cutout, which also houses the secondary 1.58-inch AMOLED screen. The phone is available in two colors: Celestial Blue and Arctic White.
Lava says that the secondary screen could be useful for viewing notifications, receiving calls without picking up the phone, controlling music playback, and other staple tasks. In theory, users should also be able to take selfies from the rear camera while using the screen as a viewfinder. Further, users should also be able to use other apps on the screen.
