Lava added a 5G offering to their Yuva lineup a few months back. Now, the company has added another entry-level smartphone to the series — it’s not a 5G phone. Matter of fact, it’s a very basic offering. Let’s take a look at the Lava Yuva Star further in this article and discuss its potential price in Nepal as well.
Lava Yuva Star Overview
Design and Display
This phone looks similar to something like the Redmi Note 12 with the squircle camera island. It comes in a monotone finish with flat edges. The Lava Yuva Star comes in three colours: White, Black, and Lavender. Moreover, all the options appear to have a glossy finish to them.
On the front, the phone has a 6.75-inch display with an LCD panel. It has a waterdrop camera cutout. Additionally, the resolution on this thing stretches HD+ and the refresh rate is the standard 60Hz. Nothing fancy going on over here.
Performance
This continues over to the performance side of things as well. The Lava Yuva Star packs the UNISOC SC9863A processor as its primary driver. It is a pretty basic chipset with 28nm fabrication, eight cores, and a peak clock speed of 1.6GHz. However, UNISOC does mention that there is AI application support on this silicon.
Other than that, you are getting 4GB RAM with an option to double it virtually. The storage on this thing is rather moderate too at 64GB. Similar to the memory, you do have an option to expand it, but through a MicroSD card. The Lava Yuva Star boots on Android 14 Go, which is a lite version of the regular Android 14. Furthermore, we can expect a bloat-free experience on this phone, similar to other Lava offerings.

Camera and the rest
The camera department is led by a 13-megapixel primary shooter on the back. It is coupled with a 2MP auxiliary unit, which is likely a depth sensor or a macro lens. Nevertheless, it will barely serve any purpose. In the meantime, the Lava Yuva Star has a 5MP front camera for selfies and face scanning.
In the tank, it has a standard 5,000 mAh cell with a measly 10W charging speed. Likewise, for additional security, it comes with a fingerprint on the side. Given the market, it will likely come with dual SIM support. Looking at the chipset’s parameter, we can tell that the Lava Yuva Star will have 4G cellular and WiFi 2.4 GHz, as well as Bluetooth v4.2 support for wireless connectivity. On the other hand, it will have USB Type-C and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired connections.
