Design: Looks Nice, Feels Good

The Bold N1 Pro has a 6.67-inch HD+ screen with a small camera hole. It’s not very thin, but holding it feels easy, you know? You can get it in Titanium Gold or Stealth Black, and its shiny back looks better than you’d expect for the price. With an IP54 rating, a bit of dust or a chai spill won’t hurt it.

Display: Smooth but Not Clear

For a phone under ₹7,000, the 120Hz refresh rate makes apps scroll really smoothly. But the HD+ screen isn’t very sharp, so videos look okay, not great. Compared to the Poco C71’s clearer display, it falls short. Still, it’s fine for watching YouTube or Netflix on the go.

Performance: Good for Basic Use

Lava Bold N1 Pro runs on a Unisoc T606 chip with 4GB RAM and 4GB virtual RAM, which uses some storage to help run more apps smoothly, though it’s not as good as actual RAM. WhatsApp, calls, and small games like Temple Run work well. Big games like PUBG lag on high settings, so stick to lighter ones. It scores around 200,000 on AnTuTu, less than the Poco C71’s Helio G85, but fine for simple tasks.

Camera: Pretty Good for the Price

With a 50MP triple camera (50MP main, 2MP macro, 2MP depth), you get nice daylight photos—bright colors, clear details. You can snap fun close-up shots, like flowers, with the macro lens, but the depth lens is just for portraits. Low-light photos turn out blurry. The 8MP front camera with flash works okay for selfies or video calls, but it’s not amazing. People say the camera’s decent for the price, just not great at night.

Battery: Lasts All Day

The 5,000mAh battery keeps up all day—calls, social media, browsing, no issue. If you use it a lot, expect 6-8 hours of screen time. It supports 18W charging, but the included 10W charger takes about 2.5 hours to fill up, which is a bit slow. The Poco C71’s 5,200mAh battery is slightly bigger, but this one’s still solid. People love the battery life but grumble about the slow charger.

Software: Simple, No Extra Apps

It runs Android 14, not the light version, and comes with no useless apps—nice! Lava promises an update to Android 15 and security patches until May 2027, so Lava Bold N1 Prostays safe and smooth. It’s simple and works without any hassle.

Connectivity and Extras: Covers Basics

It sticks to 4G, so no 5G speeds here. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the side fingerprint sensor and face unlock work quickly. There’s a secret call recording feature that’s pretty cool. It comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack for your earphones, and the single speaker handles calls and music decently, though it’s not too loud. Lava’s Free Service@Home brings repairs to your door, which is handy. As an Indian brand, Lava’s quite reliable with good service.

Storage: An abundance of storage

64GB of storage will be included, and 512GB can be added with a microSD card. It’s excellent for storing images, videos, or apps, particularly if you’re a photo enthusiast and take a lot of photos.

Where to Buy

Starting May 29, 2025, you can grab it on Flipkart, Amazon, Lava’s website, or a few local stores. Look for deals during festive sales.

Conclusion: Is It Worth It?

The Lava Bold N1 Pro isn’t perfect—its screen could be clearer, and the charger’s a bit slow. But at ₹6,699, you get a smooth 120Hz screen, a solid 50MP camera, and a battery that lasts. It’s not as good as the Poco C71 (₹7,999, better screen) or CMF Phone 2 Pro, but it’s awesome for students or first-time buyers. Lava’s service makes it reliable. If you need a basic phone, this one’s a good pick. View additional reviews of low-cost phones.
