Lava launches entry-level Bold N1 and N1 Pro in India next week

Lava is launching a new phone series in India next week – the two Bold phones are sub-₹7,000 4G Androids. The new series consists of two models: a Pro that runs Android 14 and a vanilla model that runs Android 14 Go Edition.
Lava Bold N1 Pro
That and the price are the most important differences – the Lava Bold N1 costs ₹6,000 and will launch on Amazon India on June 4 (Wednesday). Go Edition is designed to be light on resources, which is important when you only have 4GB of RAM. That's not that bad, actually, some Go Edition phones from this year start at 3GB.
Lava Bold N1
The Lava Bold N1 Pro is priced at ₹6,800, but you can get a ₹100 discount during the launch period. This model is coming on June 2 (Monday), also launching on Amazon India.
The Pro runs full-fat Android, but it's also on the older Android 14 version. Both phones will receive 1 OS update and 2 years of security patches, but that would only bring them up to Android 15 – which will soon become the 'old version'.
The Bold N1 Pro is powered by the Unisoc T606 and a 5,000mAh battery
The Bold N1 Pro has the more powerful chipset – an Unisoc T606 (28nm, 8x Cortex-A55 @ 1.6GHz, PowerVR GE8322 GPU) – while the regular N1 uses an unnamed Unisoc chip. The Pro also has 4GB of RAM, which is more limiting with full Android (remember that Go Edition also uses lighter apps). The Pro does have more storage – 128GB out of the box, expandable up to 256GB, while the vanilla N1 only has 64GB.
We mentioned above that the choice between full Android and Go Edition paired with the price will be the main deciding factor between the two models.
Lava Bold N1 Pro highlights
And it will, but the Lava Bold N1 Pro also features better cameras – a 50MP unit on the back and 8MP on the front, compared to a basic 13MP on the back and 5MP on the front for the vanilla N1.
The N1 has a slightly bigger 6.75' LCD, the Pro has a 6.67' panel. Both have 720p+ resolution, but the Pro edges ahead in refresh rate – 120Hz vs. 90Hz. Both phones have side-mounted fingerprint readers and face unlock as an option (the FP reader is more than twice as fast, though).
Lava Bold N1 with a 5,000mAh/10W battery and 13MP/5MP cameras
Both phones have 5,000mAh batteries, but the Pro supports faster charging in theory. It ships with a 10W charger in the box, but it supports up to 18W. The vanilla model doesn't get an in-box charger and tops out at 10W.
The two N1 models are rated IP54 for basic protection against dust and water splashes. They benefit from Lava's Service@Home, i.e. a repair technician will come to you instead of you having to go to a service center, plus a 1-year warranty.
Lava Bold N1 Pro in: Titanium Gold • Stealth Black
Lava Bold N1 in: Radiant Black • Sparkling Ivory
While they launch next week, you can already bookmark the Amazon India pages for both phones – here's the Lava Bold N1 and here's the Lava Bold N1 Pro.

Apple starts displaying energy efficiency labels on iPhone and iPad's pages in EU

Starting June 20, manufacturers are required to sell their smartphones and tablets in the European Union (EU) with an energy efficiency label in the box. We don't know about the boxes, but with the regulation in effect, Apple has started displaying this label on iPhone and iPad's pages on its website in EU countries. If you visit an iPhone or iPad's main product page or purchase page, you'll see a colorful little icon, and upon clicking it, you'll see the energy label of that product. iPhone 16 Pro's product page on Apple Ireland's website • iPhone 16 Pro's purchase page on Apple Ireland's website This label is accompanied by a product information sheet that provides the device's repairability information and general parameters, including rated battery capacity, screen scratch resistance on the Mohs hardness scale, minimum guaranteed availability of security updates, and IP rating. iPhone 16 Pro's product information sheet shared by Apple The energy label, on the other hand, displays seven pieces of information about the product, including an overall energy efficiency class rating on a scale of A to G, with A being the most efficient and G being the least. Here's a sample energy efficiency label You can check the energy labels for the Apple iPhone 16 Pro and iPad Pro 11" (M4) below. iPhone 16 Pro's energy efficiency label • iPad Pro 11" (M4)'s energy efficiency label Apple found certain aspects of the EU's regulation and testing procedure to be "ambiguous" and, therefore, voluntarily downgraded the ratings of its products. Here's what Apple said: "As an additional cautionary measure, Apple went one step further and downgraded some of its scores to factor in test method ambiguities and variance. For example, Energy Efficiency Index scores for iPhone models on the EU market in June 2025 all qualified for the highest 'A' grade, but Apple chose to voluntarily derate scores to a 'B' grade to minimize the probability that a third-party tester interpreting the regulation differently would achieve a lower grade. We also downgraded scores for the Repeated Free Fall Reliability Class for the same reason." You can read the 44-page document shared by Apple here regarding this matter for more details, and head this way to learn more about the new EU energy efficiency labels.

iPhone 17 to come in two new colors - GSMArena.com news

22 June 2025 According to a new report, Apple is internally testing two new colors for the vanilla iPhone 17 - Purple and Green. However, the report claims that although Apple is considering the two colorways, only one will make the cut. Currently, the Purple one is reportedly the frontrunner. Meanwhile, the company is considering a Sky Blue color for the iPhone 17 Pro to freshen things up. Even though iPhone colors usually generate a lot of buzz, it's hard to beat the news about the display upgrade. Earlier this month, a report came in suggesting that the iPhone 17 and the 17 Air (likely to replace the iPhone Plus model) will finally feature 120Hz displays. Sadly, they will omit the ProMotion features. Those will remain exclusive to the Pro duo. Source
