Lava, once a major player in the Indian smartphone market, has made a comeback in the country with its new MyZ and Zup series of customizable phones. These phones are "Made in India" and can be customized by the customer as per their liking. Both smartphones are budget-oriented, with customization being their key highlight.

The rear camera can be customized with a 13+2MP setup or a triple-camera setup comprising of a 13MP primary shooter, 5MP ultra-wide, and 2MP depth.
