Lava has announced the launch of the Virat V1 Pro 5G: The wider industry impact

Designed to deliver premium performance, durability and expansive memory, the device will be available under Lava’s online-first Virat series starting August 31 at 12 PM on Flipkart. The device is engineered for high performance, wrapped in a stylish design and equipped with good storage under the $200 segment. As the mobile industry navigates a challenging phase marked by a disrupted supply chain and inconsistent pricing, our focus with the Pro series was to build a customer-first product that delivers genuine value for discerning audiences in the under INR 20,000 segment,” said, Sumit Singh, SVP and head of product, Lava.
