LAVA Agni 4 real-world camera and AI performance for UK users

The LAVA Agni 4 brings a renewed focus on camera quality and AI tools, aiming to offer strong value for UK buyers seeking reliable everyday performance. Its camera system features a 50MP main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP selfie camera with high-resolution video support.

Daylight testing shows the main sensor performs well, delivering sharp details and balanced exposure. Outdoor shots around streets, buildings and parks appear natural, though results vary when the sky becomes overcast. In shifting UK weather conditions the camera occasionally softens detail in shaded areas.

Low-light performance highlights the hardware limits more clearly. Indoors the main sensor keeps images usable but introduces mild noise, while colours can appear warmer than expected. Street photography at night also shows reduced texture, especially in distant objects or moving subjects.

The ultra-wide lens offers versatility for wider shots but differs noticeably from the main sensor. Colours shift slightly between lenses and edges appear softer. Indoor performance is less stable, making the ultra-wide more suited for bright outdoor scenes than indoor gathering photos.

Selfie performance is strong in daylight, with detailed skin textures and solid exposure. In low light the front camera brightens faces but sometimes overdoes smoothing. UK users recording indoor vlogs may notice fluctuating tones depending on artificial lighting.

The Vayu AI suite attempts to enhance clarity, colours and portraits automatically. In many cases it improves sky detail, sharpens faces and adjusts brightness effectively. But in mixed lighting the tuning can misjudge white balance or boost shadows too heavily, reducing the natural look.

Video recording on the main camera is one of the device’s stronger points. The 4K footage remains stable thanks to OIS, producing smooth clips indoors and outdoors. The ultra-wide video mode remains more limited and is best used only for basic recordings.

Using the camera app feels intuitive, with quick switching between lenses and straightforward AI tools. Editing options are simple to access, allowing users to apply quick enhancements without navigating complex menus.

Battery endurance supports long photography sessions well. The 5,000mAh capacity ensures the camera can run through hours of mixed use, while 66W fast charging helps recharge quickly. Some warmth appears during long 4K recording or extended AI edits.

Overall the LAVA Agni 4 delivers respectable camera performance for its segment, especially outdoors during the day. Its AI tools add convenience but are not always accurate, and low-light imaging remains its weakest point. For UK users seeking a budget-friendly device with solid everyday photo capability, the Agni 4 offers a balanced experience.
