Soon after launching the Helium 14 notebook in India, Home-bred consumer electronics company Lava International on Tuesday launched a new budget-oriented smartphone, dubbed as the “Lava A93” in the Indian tech market. Priced at Rs. 7,999, the new Lava A93 is currently listed on company’s official website, revealing almost everything about the smartphone.

In terms of design, the Lava A93 sports a full-metal unibody design with metal frame all around, giving it an overall premium look.
