Lava is back with yet another affordable smartphone, the Blaze 3 5G. As the name suggests, this is a 5G phone, but unlike Blaze X that was introduced a few months ago, this is a lot cheaper.The new Lava Blaze 3 5G is available for purchase in India for the introductory price of Rs 10,000 ($120 / €105). Although the new Blaze X and Blaze 3 5G share the same chipset, MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300, the former has slightly better specs, hence the higher price.

As mentioned earlier, Lava Blaze 3 5G is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, whereas the previous model comes with a Dimensity 6020 processor instead.
Besides that, the Lava Blaze 3 5G and Blaze 2 5G are basically the same phone. They have the same display, battery, camera configuration, memory size, and connectivity features.

Also, the Lava Blaze 2 5G comes in two versions – 4/64GB and 6/128GB, while the new model has just one version: 6/128GB (at least for the moment), so there's an even cheaper alternative to the Blaze 3 5G available if you can't afford the 6/128GB model.
