It looks like Lava is going to shake up the budget smartphone market yet again. New leaks about the Lava Yuva Star 3 show that they are likely focused more on offering camera-first value than ever before, particularly for consumers looking for a great night shot, good portrait shots or just casual vlogging, while also keeping the price down below ₹10,000.
50MP AI Dual Camera: A Budget Camera Play
The majority of the buzz is coming from the 50MP AI Dual Rear Camera System. Leaked information has shown that Lava has employed the use of AI-assisted scene optimisation to provide improved colour accuracy, greater dynamic range and clarity, when shooting at night or in low-light conditions. The high-resolution primary sensor clearly indicates that Lava is trying to appeal to consumers for the intended use of this phone, producing great content, as opposed to simply documenting what you see on paper.
DON'T MISS
Night Mode Tuned for Real-World Use
The Yuva Star 3 is expected to have an upgraded AI Night Mode which incorporates multi-frame processing along with Noise Reduction in developing these types of images. Early reports show that the low-light photographs taken by the Yuva Star 3 are bright and clear but don’t have excessive smoothing, which seems to be a common issue with low-cost, budget smartphones in this category.
HDR Portraits with Better Subject Separation
The expected HDR processing support will maintain the overall appearance of background objects while ensuring natural appearing skin tones. A secondary sensor would provide assistance in creating a depth map of an object so there is better edge detection when in natural lighting conditions (daylight or indoor).
Vlogging-Friendly Features
Leaked information suggests that other features such as AI stabilization, face tracking and front camera tuning for video will be added. This would make the Yuva Star 3 a great option for new short-form video creators and new vloggers who don’t have to worry about spending too much money on their camera performance.
Budget Strategy Under ₹10K
If Lava has a competitive price point for their products then they will be able to attract a lot of students and people who are new to buying smartphones but want good quality.
