Lava is preparing to introduce one more member into its Shark series, and this time it is the highly discussed Lava Shark Pro 5G. The device has apparently been spotted on the IMEI database, indicating that its official launch in India is imminent. With Lava strengthening its presence in the competitive budget-5G smartphone segment, the Shark Pro 5G could emerge as one of the brand’s most anticipated offerings for 2025.
IMEI Listing Confirms Imminent Launch
The Lava Shark Pro 5G was reportedly listed on the IMEI platform, carrying model number LXX527. As per reports, tech insider Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz) spotted the listing to give credibility to the leak. An IMEI listing does not convey full specifications of an upcoming smartphone; however, this strongly indicates that it has reached the final stages of testing ahead of commercial release.
The listing indicates that the device could be launched in India soon, as Lava generally announces new Shark series devices within a short time of them appearing in certification databases.
The “Pro” branding further hints that Lava is preparing a more feature-rich variant compared to the standard Lava Shark 5G model launched earlier.
Expected Positioning of the Lava Shark Pro 5G
The Shark series from Lava has traditionally targeted entry-level and budget-conscious consumers. In this case, the Shark Pro 5G may be targeted at a slightly higher segment, but retaining a relatively affordable price. Official pricing hasn’t been declared yet, though it’s expected to compete in the sub-₹10,000 to ₹12,000 category-an area where Lava has found strong demand.
Rumoured Specifications of Lava Shark Pro 5G
Although Lava hasn’t let out any official information, early leaks and industry sources have given some idea of what to expect from the Shark Pro 5G. It is supposedly coming with an improved display, better performance, and an enhanced camera setup.
Below is a short specs table summarizing all the rumoured details so far:

Comparison With the Standard Lava Shark 5G
For reference, the previously launched Lava Shark 5G came with a Unisoc T765 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. It sported a 6.75-inch display, a single 13MP rear camera, and a 5,000mAh battery. The Shark Pro 5G is expected to bring upgrades at least in three areas:
- Performance: A more powerful chipset might feature.
- Camera: The Pro model may feature a higher-resolution primary sensor.
- User Experience: Lava may introduce enhanced design elements or faster charging.
- These upgrades would help the Shark Pro 5G stand out in the competitive budget 5G segment.
What We Still Don’t Know
The listing of the IMEI still leaves several important details unknown:
- Official Launch Date
- Exact processor and camera configuration
- Storage options
- Fast-charging support
- Pricing and availability
Lava usually announces more details through teasers via its social channels, so fans should stay tuned for further announcements.
Final Thoughts
The Lava Shark Pro 5G is indeed turning out to be an interesting addition to the lineup, especially for buyers seeking a Made-in-India, feature-packed, affordable 5G smartphone. Now that its existence has been confirmed by the IMEI listing, an official launch could get ever closer. If Lava positions the Shark Pro 5G strategically, the brand’s stake in the growing Indian 5G market might get stronger. Whether you’re waiting to upgrade or looking for your first 5G device, the Lava Shark Pro 5G may be well worth keeping on your radar.
