Lava Bold 2 5G Set for India Launch on March 13 With Under-Display Scanner

Launch details

Lava Bold 2 5G will launch in India on March 13 at 12 pm IST, the company confirmed after updating its microsite on Amazon. The listing signals a clear launch date and time, with the handset slated to be sold in the country via Amazon. Marketing materials indicate the device will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication and unlocking, alongside a centered hole-punch display cutout for the front camera. Visuals show a phone with relatively slim bezels and a flat frame, paired with a flat rear panel and a power button plus volume controls on the right edge. The company has not disclosed the final price, though the product is expected to arrive in at least a black colorway. Officials involved in the preparation for the launch spoke in general terms about the scheduled timing and the design cues that have appeared in the marketing visuals.

Design and key specifications

The dedicated microsite on Amazon confirms the March 13 launch timing and reiterates the core biometric feature of an in-display fingerprint scanner. The device is shown with a centred hole-punch display cutout, which forms part of the front design alongside thin bezels and a prominent display footprint. The device's frame and back-panel are designed to be flat, while the power button and volume buttons are located on the right side of the device. The back camera section is laid out in a small camera island with two cameras, plus an LED flash; however, the exact configuration and chips for these components are not released yet in any public documents.

By comparison, Lava Bold 5G, launched in April 2025, is known to feature a 6.67-inch 3D curved AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and a 5,000mAh battery supported by 33W wired fast charging. That model was introduced at a starting price of Rs. 10,499 for the 4GB + 128GB variant. Lava has not yet released comparable specifications for the Bold 2 5G, and details such as the chipset, display size, and battery capacity for the Bold 2 5G remain unconfirmed in the current materials.

The Lava Bold 2 5G is expected to arrive in India via Amazon, with at least a black color option confirmed in the marketing imagery. The company has not disclosed detailed camera specifications, chipset, display size, or battery capacity for the Bold 2 5G in the official material released to date. Early teasers for the device had hinted at its impending arrival, followed by the Amazon microsite update that fixed the March 13 launch window.

Context from the broader Lava timeline shows the Bold 2 5G arriving as a successor to the Bold 5G, which carved out a space in Lava’s lineup with a high-refresh-rate AMOLED experience and a notable battery. While the exact hardware for Bold 2 5G remains under wraps, observers expect Lava to reveal refined design cues and more complete specifications at or after the launch event. The current materials do not contain pricing details or post-launch availability beyond the Indian market at this stage.

Readers can look forward to additional details regarding the Bold 2 5G from Lava including exact pricing and broader availability after the launch on March 13, 2022. With only a few weeks remaining until the launch, there may be further announcements regarding the Bold 2’s camera configuration, processor specs, and display/battery capacities as we get closer to March 13 from either the company's website or through retailer listings and upcoming press conferences by Lava. The final launch date of the device on March 13 will be critical to providing confirmation of remaining specifications and configuration options.
