Lava Yuva 3 Pro: Alternatives
Lava Yuva 3 Pro vs Itel P40+
The two strongest candidates against the Yuva 3 Pro are the Itel P40+ and the Realme Narzo N53. Talking of the Itel P40+, the handset is priced lower at Rs 7,499 which saves you around Rs 1,500. It then offers you a slightly inferior Chipset (Unisoc T606) but the same display as the Yuva 3 Pro. You’ll also have to compromise on the Android version and the RAM, but despite having a lower price tag, the Itel P40+ gets you a massive 7000mAh battery that would last you much longer than the Yuva 3 Pro.
Lava Yuva 3 Pro vs Realme Narzo N53
Coming to the Realme Narzo N53, it has the same price tag as Yuva 3 Pro. While you compromise on two aspects, RAM and storage (4GB + 64GB), you get a better display, which is sharper with an FHD+ resolution. Moreover, you can expand storage up to 2 TB and charge it faster at 33W. You can also consider the Narzo N53 over the Lava Yuva 3 Pro according to your preferences.
