Design

Lava Z91

The device sports a Metal overall unibody that’s non-removable. Definitely the best looking Lava smartphone thus far. I like the fact they still integrated the rear fingerprint scanner just incase, or for those who don’t like the Face ID.

The rear camera and LED flash are in the popular position, horizontal at the top left corner. There’s also a rear loudspeaker at the bottom corner as well, the sleek and classy device measures 7.7mm in thickness. Overall, it weighs 147g and available in only Blue colors.

Display

Lava Z91

Dishes out a full view display with an 18:9 aspect ratio screen, which flows with the current trend among OEMs. From where the selfie camera, LED flash and speaker grille is, we can tell the screen could be expanded further if they’d really wanted to.

The 5.7-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. With 282 pixel per inch density, details on the screen should come out but don’t expect magic in this department. Impressively, the screen stretches up to 75.7 % screen to body ratio, offering more screen than bezels.
