The rear display of the device performs several functions at once. It can display notifications, for example, about incoming calls. It can be used to control media playback and can also be used for some third-party apps such as weather, timer, and pedometer.

The rear display can also serve as a camera viewfinder for selfies. By the way, the main camera here is 50 megapixels, based on a Sony sensor with support for video recording in 4K at 30 frames per second and equipped with optical stabilization. It is assisted in its work by two 8-megapixel sensors – one with support for 3x telephoto zoom, the other for ultra-wide-angle photography.

The main display of the Lava Agni 3 is an edge-curved AMOLED with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, supporting a resolution of 2652 × 1200 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 1200 cd/m2. On the front side of the device there is also a 16-megapixel camera peephole.

The smartphone is equipped with stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. Another interesting feature of the device is the physical Action Key button, which performs different functions depending on a single, double or long press. For example, it can be used to release the camera shutter when taking photos or to switch between operating modes of the device. Users can also use the Action Key to quickly launch any application.
