Lava is preparing to expand its Play series in India with the launch of the Lava Play Max, which will join the recently introduced Lava Play Ultra 5G. The Play Ultra 5G, featuring a 64-megapixel primary camera and MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, was launched in India in August. Now, Lava is gearing up to launch a new Play Max model. They have officially started teasing the Play Max, but the exact launch date has yet to be announced. However, there is a high expectation to make its debut in December. This news was leaked on X (formerly Twitter), revealing its expected price, key specifications, and design details.
What is the Exception of the Camera & Design of the Lava Play Max 5G?
The Lava Play Max would include two vertically positioned rear cameras, with a 50- megapixel primary sensor for close-up shots. The key visual components of Lava Play Max hinted at the camera module, which is surrounded by a beautiful glowing pattern that may glow in the dark. The absence of antenna lines indicates flat plastic frames, a simple, clean back panel that mimics modern Lava designs. The Lava Play Max showed up on the BIS certification site under the brand name “Lava Strom Gamer”, suggesting gaming-related features like improving cooling, according to Tipster Paras Guglani. According to the leaked marketing poster, the Lava Play Max will be offered in black and white so it can appeal to consumers who prefer simple modern designs. Based on another leak, the Lava Play Max is expected to debut in India in December and would cost less than ₹12,000, making it a powerful competitor in the low-cost smartphone market.
What are the Specifications of Lava Play Max 5G?

In terms of performance, the Lava Play Max is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC, the same chipset used in the Lava Play Ultra 5G, which guarantees seamless multitasking and consistent daily performance. The Lava Play Max will probably come with 6GB and 8GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, which would greatly increase system efficiency, gaming responsiveness, and app loading times. The device may have a 6.72-inch full HD+ display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz on the front, providing a smooth and engaging gaming, scrolling, and media consumption experience. In addition, it is believed that the Lava Play Max will come pre-installed with Android 15, offering consumers the newest features and improved security.
The Play Max might have a 50MP AI-backed primary camera with EIS support for photography, which would allow for steadier films, sharper photos, and improved low-light performance. The device is expected to use a vapour chamber cooling system to improve thermals, especially during continuous gaming or heavy usage, helping to maintain consistent performance without overheating. All things considered, these specs make the Lava Play Max a powerful rival in the low-cost market, providing a potent blend of performance, display quality, and modern camera functions.
What is the Expected Price for Lava Play Max 5G?
The Lava Play Max is expected to retail for less than ₹12,000, according to the most recent leaks, making it a very attractive choice in the low-cost smartphone market. It is considerably less expensive than its sister, the Lava Play Ultra 5G, which debuted for ₹14,999 for the 6GB + 128GB model and ₹16,499 for the 8GB + 128GB model. With an identical performance profile which includes the same Dimensity 7300 chipset as well as modern features like a high-refresh-rate display and UFS 3.1 storage, the Play Max appears to be a less expensive but no less powerful option. For consumers who want premium-like performance without going over budget, this competitive pricing may make it one of the most value-driven debuts in its category.
