How Tough Is the Agni 4 Really?

The LAVA Agni 4 comes equipped with some clear durability-claims out of the box. It features an aluminium alloy frame, glass rear panel and is rated IP64 for dust and water-splashes. It also reportedly uses Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for the display. One review site specifically lists an “Anti-Drop Diamond Frame” as a structural advantage.

However, when it comes to verified scratch and drop tests, published data is surprisingly thin. I could not find any detailed laboratory-drop videos or extensive scratch-resistance results for the Agni 4. While anecdotal comments mention “zero damage” after minor drops, these are not controlled tests and don’t guarantee protection under serious impact.

Despite that, the build quality and materials suggest the phone is reasonably durable for everyday use. The metal frame gives rigidity and the glass back with a strong brand frame helps resist everyday abuses like sits, books and minor falls. The IP64 rating is a positive nod for spill or dust situations (though not full waterproofing).

For those who are rough on their phones—drops from heights, concrete floors, lots of outdoor exposure—the Agni 4 should still be handled with care. A strong case and screen protector remain smart investments. While it may survive many daily knocks, it cannot be assumed to be indestructible like some flagship “mil-standard” phones.

In summary: if you treat the Agni 4 as a “well-built mid-range phone” with above-average materials but still protect it from high-impact drops or rough treatment, it offers good durability. If your usage demands extreme ruggedness, you may wish to explore extra-rugged models designed specifically for tough environments.
