A few days ago, Lava started teasing the Yuva 5G, which will have a 50 MP camera. Today, the company revealed more about the device, including its launch date: May 30 (that's Thursday). As the name suggests, this is a 5G phone and is aimed at the younger audience as Lava tries to win over Gen Z.
The 5G connectivity is thanks to the Unisoc T750 chipset, as evidenced by today's tweet (below). This is a 6nm chipset with two Cortex-A76 cores (2.0 GHz) and six A55 cores (1.8 GHz), plus a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. It is comparable to, for example, a Dimensity 6100+, but with the CPU and GPU running at lower clock speeds than the MediaTek chip.

As you may have guessed from the 50MP camera teaser, the Lava Yuva 5G will focus on photography, at least as far as possible on a budget. There is a second lens on the back, although its function is unclear. On the front, there is an 8MP selfie camera housed in a punch hole.
Do you shoot a shot, or do you shoot a 'shot'?
Of #Yuva5Gyou can do both!😉Launch on May 30, 12 noon#LavaMobiles #ProudlyIndian pic.twitter.com/xo7de7GHta

This will be the first Yuva phone to support 5G, Lava's affordable series. Previously, there were 5G models in the Blaze, Agni and Storm series, all of which relied on different Dimensity chips.
The most recent entry in the Yuva series is the Lava Yuva 3 with a 4G-only Unisoc T606 chip and a 13MP rear camera + 5MP front camera, so a much simpler device than the upcoming 5G model. To be fair, the Yuva 3 was launched at ₹6,800 ($82), so basic specs are to be expected.
