Lava Z81 with Studio Photography mode launched in India


Domestic manufacturer LAVA International has announced the expansion of its Z series of smartphones with the official introduction of the Lava Z81 – the sequel to the Lava Z80. Although Lava is touting the Lava Z81 as a camera-centric smartphone, the device packs just a single camera on both sides but boasts of the Studio Photography mode which relies on Artificial Intelligence to deliver a depth-of-field effect to produce better images.

Specifically, the Lava Z81 comes fitted with a 13MP rear sensor with LED flash on both sides. Both cameras use the AI Studio Mode for portrait clicks, and with that, users should be able to apply lighting effects like Splash, Stage Light, Stage Light Mono, and many more to their photo shoots.

The device flaunts a 5.7-inch HD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, while itis powered by a 2GHz quad-core Helio A22 chipset mated to either 2GB or 3GB of RAM with 32GB of inbuilt storage, expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB).

    Never heard of. Can’t be any good with that pricing and specs no matter what gimmicky modes it has. Could’ve been cool if it was lavaproof. Like, if I were to have one, out of frustration and I would throw it in a vulcano and then it could be like ‘ha, that doesn’t kill me, mate’.
