Lava has launched its new budget smartphone, called Shark 5G, in India. This phone’s biggest selling point is 5G support at a price of under ₹8,000 — a rarity currently in the market. However, 5G cannot be everything a user wants. Some buyers are ready to trade off 5G with more important features on their phone at this price point. For those customers, the Vivo Y19e comes across as a good choice. Here is the comparison between the Lava Shark 5G and the Vivo Y19e.

Display: The Lava Shark 5G comes with a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a screen-to-body ratio of 81 per cent. The latter means the screen covers 81 per cent of the entire phone’s body. On the other hand, the Vivo Y19e offers a 6.74-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a screen-to-body ratio of 85.1 per cent.

Meanwhile, the Vivo Y19e is powered by a Unisoc T7225 chipset, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of base internal storage. This phone also supports a microSD card.
