The Lava Z2 is a “lite†version of the Z4 and Z6. It has the same 6.57-inches 720p+ display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection, same Helio G35 chipset and same 5,000mAh battery.
Where it differs is memory, the only configuration available is 2GB of RAM and 32GB storage (again with a microSD slot), and camera.
Also, the Lava Z2 has a dual rear camera setup – the 13MP main camera and 2MP helper, no ultrawide module. Also, the selfie camera gets demoted to 8MP. Video recording still tops out at 1080p.
For software, while the Z4 and Z6 run the regular Android 10, the Z2 runs Android 10 Go Edition. This is because of its 2GB RAM but Lava says that all of them will offer a stock Android experience.
