The Lava Z61 is an entry-level smartphone option featuring a compact design and sufficient performance for everyday needs. It sports a 5.45-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels and an 18:9 aspect ratio, offering a clear view with approximately 295 ppi pixel density. The screen-to-body ratio of about 74.5% provides a comfortable viewing experience without overly thick bezels.
For performance, the Lava Z61 is equipped with a Mediatek MT6739WW chipset paired with two RAM variants: 1 GB with Android 8.0 Oreo Go Edition and 2 GB with Android 8.1 Oreo. While not designed for heavy applications, this combination is sufficient for running standard apps and light multitasking. The 16 GB internal storage supports basic storage needs, though users are advised to use a microSD card to expand capacity.
In the camera department, the Lava Z61 relies on an 8 MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture and autofocus, capable of producing fairly clear photos in good lighting conditions. The 5 MP front camera with an f/2.4 aperture supports selfies and video calls with adequate results.
The removable 3000 mAh Li-Po battery is a plus, allowing users to replace the battery independently if needed. Charging is done via a microUSB 2.0 port, which remains common in devices of this class. Although it lacks fast charging, the battery capacity helps sustain usage throughout the day for light to moderate activities.
