  • Hi All, For all those who for looking for Video call feature from phone dialer, please note that this feature comes only with Samsung phones. Big brands like Motorola and OnePlus also does not offer this feature. You can do video call using 3rd party apps like Google Duo, Facebook Messenger and now WhatsApp as well.

  • Video calling comes inbuilt only with Samsung phones. I have Motorola and OnePlus 2, even these phones do not have facility to do video calling from Phone's dialer. You can install 3rd party apps like whatsapp, facebook messenger and google duo to do video calling.

  • i am thinking to buy a lava x81 what should i do plz give me some suggestion

  • Camera was worst which they highlight in their promotion like was app also not moving to SD card Please recall our phone for make better camera options without this please stop your sales don't balme us with wrong promotiobs

  • Apps not being moved to SD There is no fixed dialling. The call logs are not segregated to missed, received and dialled. They have fooled us. Including GSMarena

  • Hi, Just purchased the Lava X81. With mentions "Enabled (Direct video Calling)". However, I am unable to see any such options on the dial screen. Also when I make a video call from my samsung note 4, the call changes to a normal audio call. Any views on how to enable video calling .. I have a Reliance Jio 4G/Volte Sim card on both phones. Regards Raj.

  • You cannot move apps to SD. This is a big draw back and so a phone with 16 GB internal memory is useless. They have cheated us. Including GSMARENA and other people who guide us.

  • The phone does not support movement of apps to SD. There are no provisions for speed dials. Call logs don't come with received, missed and dialled numbers. - separate list. The first two are important pieces of information and by not revealing them you have made me buy an otherwise good phone, where I am disappointed. Please include these and other important features. In all specifications, please tell whether battery is removable to not. Thanks

  • I bought lava x81 yesterday , but now there is one big problem , My SD card .. has untouch in 20 minutes after screen off .. I done everything .. i went lava service center .. problam remains ..

  • Lava X81 operates on Android marshmallow..! So, External Storage will be taken as internal storage inorder to run apps faster and increased internal storage

  • been using this phone since last 10 days, phone is super smooth, no lags, video camera is superb, no heating, only issue is still camera photos, the camera is pathetic, very poor quality photos. doesnt deserves to be called a 13 mp camera.

  • We have bought this model on the same day of its released on 6th June'16, for first fifteen days it worked fine and suddenly it stopped ringing for incoming calls and surprisingly ringer would buzzed for incoming messages, after taking it to service center, the technician reloaded the software and instrument started working, but again after two days the same problem! I would suggest whoever wants to buy it, please think ten times before going for it, because they don't have proper service center and qualified technicians who can tell us the exact solution.

  • 1. One of the best phones in recent days 2. Awesome configurations 3. Slim design 4. Good performance 5. At an affordable price

  • threre is a big problem with lava x81 4G model. its gallery has stopped 3 times within 2o days.

  • please tel 4gband 85 support??

  • Hello friends... I've bought this phone start of August and after 2 weeks I've noticed that phone doesn't support memory card. All the apps were getting saved in internal memory of phone and my SD card was blank. When I visited service center they told me formating is required and they did that. After format it worked fine for an hour and after that again same issue. So I call up service center and they told me they have to send the phone to Delhi and I'll get a replacement phone within 7-10 working days. After that I'm phoneless and still waiting for my replacement phone. You all guys please check whether your SD card slot is working fine. Please let me know if you guys also facing same issue on whatsapp 9768148472

  • i purchased lava x 81 on 11/8/2016. initially i thought whether i took a hasty decision by purchasing this mobile for a huge sum of Rs.10000/- where as u can get mobiles with similar features for less than 8000/-. But at last i have a made a right decision. simply superb. battery is coming for almost a day with almost 4 hrs internet browsing including video calls. facebook etc. and continuous music hearing. though its only 2700 mah the battery is too good. i didnt play games on it . no heat issue. 3 gb ram does the job very fast and the camera is the beauty. there is front flash too. really enjoying it. am happy to have this beauty. its not taking much time for full charging too. normal time. overall worth the price. though its only the second day i am much satisfied with lava x 81

  • His. I'm living in UK does this phone will work in UK as well on any network or it will work only in India.?

  • awesome camera quality never seen before

  • Completely wrong decision for purchasing Lava

  • I got this phone barely a month. having issues on software installation like Instagram. Firefox beside others. less user friendly. software updated. I made a wrong decision never lava again. disgusting experience.

  • Hey Bro Tell ur Fb id or Whatsapp no.. your Lava x81 Phone Camera Captured Photo Give Me???

  • stay miles away from lavax81!! i bought it hardly 10 days back n believe me in this short span i had to visit their service centre for its net connectivity problems-its just lousy and when it does connect its only for a second, lots of disruptions,interruptions etc And this despite the supposed to be 4G speed? of course my service centre Visit was totally futile, they very wisely diagnosed the problem due to virus,got me to wait for no less than 45 mins and the result? you guessed it- NIL!! its a Lousy Lousy phone, Dont buy it if u care for yr hard earned money.

  • Does this phone have a dedicated slot for Memory card or is it Hybrid slot ?

  • what is the main difference between Lavs x81 and Lava x10

  • Your jocks give me laughter the mobile works pretty well to be honest I'm actually impressed by Lava as heavy games run smoothly yea there are some quality problems with the camera but except it the phone's freaking awesome

  • phone look is very good and specifications and some softower problem but fota update and problem solf no lacking problem so i suggest by the phone. service very fast

  • Its very bad phone, 3 days before i bought this phn its heated shortly, hang sometimes, don't buy this phone

  • what is the main difference between Lavs x81 and Lava x10

  • My friend, I have faced the same issue with my phone few days back. I was worried and talked to the customer care that directed me to Lava service center. The executives there told be about the software upgrade that would be coming soon for phone to help me get rid of this problem. I guess you should also go to service center and get an upgrade.

  • Hi Nash, I think you should not be so negative about the Lava X81 as I have been using it and I have not yet faced any issues with this phone. The battery is pretty long lasting and I just charge it once daily. Apart from that, the camera quality is quite good, the touch is fast and smooth, and the phone has been beautifully designed. Why don't you actually use this phone before writing such a review?

  • Lava has been facing app lock issues for quite some time now. Recently, my Lava X81 faced similar issues. But when I contacted the customer care center, they said it will be solved by another software update that will be available for solving this issue. Score 1 for Lava!

  • Please don't buy this phone as it's wastage for your hard earned income.. Not only battery quality is bad but also quality is not up to mark..

  • Sss am also facing the same problem can anyone suggest a solution

  • The phone is very nice..but the applock is not working even after the changes in the settings..everytime i have to change the applock setting in mob to on it.

  • I have bought this mob recently..every specifications are very cool..but i have a problem to use app lock..once it was installed it asked to change the settings to on the applock settings..and it worked fa sometime..but after sometime the app lock settings went off automatically and applock is not working..everytime i have to go to app settings to on the applock..is anyone facing the same problem..please suggest to overcome this

  • it is fast phone and camera quality good ya bad.

  • I would suggest you to buy Lava x81 as this phone features 13 MP rear camera which clicks pretty pictures. It captures the every small change in the static environment with the shoot time lapse videos feature and with slow motion feature capture the intricate images. With its 3GB RAM and 16 GB ROM, the phone stores maximum data in the form of videos, movies, and much more. Buy this and you will never regret.

  • Well, I have been using Lava X81 for quite some time now, and am completely satisfied with it. The phone itself is running quite smoothly and shows little to no lag. Also And I get it where you are coming from regarding the camera but I found no problem with it maybe you got a defective piece. Mine works exactly like a 13MP shooter is supposed to, and the same goes for the front camera, which delivers superb quality despite being only 5MP. Try taking it to the service center and before that try different settings for improved performance.

  • no....no

  • May be you've are unfortunate enough to get a defective device or maybe you over charged it. No need to worry, the guys over at the Lava service centres will definitely present you with a brand new device, or they can definitely get you device up and running in no time.

  • Battery is not uoto mark other then that descent phone

  • should I buy this phone or not please suggest me

  • Lava X81 is certainly making a name in the market with its amazing features and rightly so!!! Recently bought this smartphone and I love it! I can take amazing group selfies with its wide angle lens, make time lapse and slow motion videos and it is the best for multitasking. I have downloaded all my social media apps as it has a 3 GB RAM. Apart from its long lasting battery, another good part about this smartphone is that it has a 2.5D curved display which makes its touch smoother and faster than the other phones. Looks like buying Lava X81 is a good investment!

  • The new Lava X81 comes with 3GB RAM!! OMG, I just can't get over this! Given the fact that it's a sub 15k phone, the 3GB RAM making it super-fast and clear winner in the smartphone race! Looking forward to it.

  • Lava creates a joke on camera and you create a joke on english

  • Well, so far, I have not faced any heating issue from Lava X81 per say. It is just that, upon heavy usage, any phone is prone to heating up a little. I have seen this happening in even the costliest of phones. It has no impact on the battery life or the phone hardware otherwise. And the heating is not all the uncomfortable either, you can barely notice it and even easily hold the phone and carry on. I faced no other issues with this phone, excessive heating or otherwise. Hope this helps!!

  • Great Phone with stunning Looks , and fast processors . Multi tasking made esy and seemless
