Is it any good?
The Blaze Duo 5G takes the idea behind the Agni 3, a second screen on the back, and brings it down to ₹16,999 for 6GB + 128GB, or ₹17,999 for 8GB + 128GB, on Lava's store. It comes in Celestial Blue and Arctic White.
The rear screen is a 1.58-inch AMOLED beside the 64MP Sony main camera, which works with a 2MP second camera. The front is a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED at 120Hz with an in-display fingerprint sensor, and a MediaTek Dimensity 7025 runs it with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. The 5,000 mAh battery charges at 33W, the selfie camera is 16MP, and it weighs 186g at 8.45mm thick.
The catch is support and storage. Lava lists no Android upgrade beyond Android 15, and its two years of security updates from the December 2024 launch run to December 2026. There is no microSD slot, and for ₹5,000 more the Agni 3 adds a 3x telephoto camera, a bigger rear screen and 66W charging.
