4G VoLTE is pretty big in India right now with Jio pushing its network heavily in the country. If you were shopping for a cheap yet feature filled budget handset for a VoLTE SIM card, the Lava M1 has to be your pick. Priced at Rs 3,333, the device is not exactly in the smartphone segment. However, a quick gander at the hardware specs sheet will tell you otherwise.
Given the asking price, Lava has done some cost cutting with regards to the camera. The phone lacks a front-facing camera, and the rear camera is VGA. So you can’t expect to have smooth video calls on this one, assuming you use the rear camera. This seems like a missed opportunity as blazing fast video calls is one of the reasons customers prefer LTE networks.
Overall, we think Lava has to be commended for its idea here. Given that a large population still depend on budget and feature phones, launching a handset like sets the precedent for industry rivals. It is important to note that there have been multiple 4G LTE handsets on the cheap, so Lava is not necessarily first to the party.
