Lava Agni 3 slaps a 1.74-inch AMOLED touchscreen on the back, brings custom Action Key

Following a lengthy teaser campaign, Lava Mobiles announced its Agni 3 smartphone in India today with several noteworthy features. The main attraction is around the back and it’s not the cameras but a 1.74” secondary AMOLED touchscreen.

It serves multiple purposes ranging from displaying notifications and allowing you to manage incoming calls, to acting as a camera control for taking selfies with the main 50MP camera. You can also control media playback and use several first-party apps like the weather, timer and step tracker.

The back also features a 50MP main cam with a 1/1.55″ Sony sensor and OIS. It’s joined by an 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and an 8MP ultrawide module.
