why should not buy?

• Limited RAM Options at Launch: The Lava Bold 5G has 4GB of RAM at the base level, which might be inadequate if you are a heavy user or needs to switch between running apps frequently. There are higher RAM options but 4GB may not cut it for everyone.
• Average Camera Performance: The device comes with the primary camera of 64MP and the Lava Bold 5G takes good pictures in well lit situations. But in low light, the camera can suffer from noise and lacks more advanced features such as optical image stabilization, which might impact picture and video quality.
• No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: As always, users who use wired audio connections will be disappointed to know there is no headphone jack here. The phone does come with a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter in the box but not everyone wants to be carrying around another bit of kit with them.
• Lack of NFC Support: The Lava Bold 5G is not compatible with NFC (Near Field Communication) so you won’t be able to use it for contactless payments or gaming. It is missing an amenity that some users may find missing, NFC.
• Brand Reputation and Aftersales Service Worries: Not very good after-sales service. It may take Lava quite some time to replace a product and too much customer service is not offered. For example, one customer had to wait a very long time to receive a replacement unit for a device that went bad, indicating there may be issues with the brand’s service speed.
• Potential Heating Issues: There are some cases when Lava mobiles, including the Blaze Pro 5G, suffer with heating problem after prolonged use or heavy gaming. These thermal issues can impact user experience as well as device longevity.
• No Wireless Charging Support: The Lava Bold 5G doesn’t offer wireless charging feature which is common in most of the smartphones nowadays. For those who are used to wireless charging, this absence is potentially a limiting feature.
• Limited Color Options: As of now, the Lava Bold 5G is being sold in only one color option – Sapphire Blue. This restricted color range won’t satisfy anyone else looking for more customization features.

Final Thoughts

Though things like a 5G network option is a rare sight and good screen (AMOLED no less!) may lure you towards it; some downfalls like limited RAM models, lack of variety in camera, and the absence of NFC or wireless charging give you these second thoughts you’re getting. If those things matter to you, it may be worth you considering alternatives from other brands such as Realme, Xiaomi or Samsung.
