Lava had recently announced that the smartphone brand will come out with the new Blaze series smartphones that will be priced under Rs. 10,000, as per a recent report. Now, Lava is reportedly bringing the first smartphone in the series in June. As reported earlier, the smartphone is expected to be a budget smartphone. The new Lava smartphone is said to come with a glass back panel. It is also being speculated that the handset might get a Unisoc SoC, but it is yet to be confirmed.

A report from 91Mobiles, citing industry sources, said that Lava is preparing to launch its new budget smartphone in June. The smartphone is expected to be priced competitively under Rs. 10,000. Although, the smartphone is said to be a budget handset, it is expected to get a glass rear panel that can make the device look more appealing.

He added that the new smartphone series will be priced under Rs. 10,000. He reportedly also said that the company will start providing doorstep repair service. Raina added that the service will be available across India and that the company is also working on implementing partnerships before the launch of the new smartphones.
