Indian OEM Lava Mobile is back with two new affordable Android smartphones, the Pixel V2 and V2s. Both handsets are aimed at the mid-range segment, but they are supposed to offer exceptional camera features.

According to a new report, Lava Pixel V2 is now available for purchase in India for Rs 10,750 ($160), while the Pixel V2s is much cheaper at Rs 8,750 ($130) outright.

Aside from the fact that they are pretty cheap, the good news is Lava Pixel V2 ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box, along with Star 2.0 UI on top.

The more expensive of the two, Lava Pixel V2 comes equipped with a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor, coupled with a Mali-T720 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM.

On the other hand, the Pixel V2s packs a slightly lower 1GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6735P processor, a Mali-T720 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.

Unlike the V2, the affordable Lava Pixel V2s ships with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system onboard, but the Indian company promises Android 6.0 Marshmallow in the coming months.

8MP front-facing cameras with LED flash, dual-SIM support

Both Lava smartphones sport 5-inch HD (720p) displays with Asahi Dragontrail Glass coating. Also, the Pixel V2 includes 16GB of internal memory, while the Pixel V2s has only 8GB of storage, but both feature microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).

When it comes to the camera, Lava Pixel V2 features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with F/2.0 aperture, autofocus, BackSide Illumination sensor with 1.4-micron pixels, Twin Led flash and 5P Largan Lens with Blue Glass Filter.

The Pixel V2 packs an 8-megapixel camera in the front with F/2.4 aperture, LED flash and a similar 1.4-micron pixels sensor.

The cheaper Lava Pixel V2s packs an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with Twin LED flash, as well as a secondary 8-megapixel camera in the front with LED flash.

Both smartphones offer 4G LTE and dual-SIM support, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with AGPS, 3.5mm audio jack and FM Radio. They’re also powered by similar 2,500 mAh batteries.
