The Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G went out of stock on Flipkart on the first day of its sale. The phone went on sale on August 31, and Lava has confirmed that the first batch has already sold out.
According to Lava, the strong response shows growing interest in its online-first Virat series, especially among buyers looking for an affordable 5G smartphone.
At under Rs 14,000 with the launch offer, the phone offers some useful features for the price, including a 6000mAh battery, 120Hz display, 50MP camera and clean Android experience.

Why the Virat V1 Pro 5G Sold Out So Quickly
One of the main reasons could be its aggressive launch price. The Virat V1 Pro 5G was introduced at an effective price of Rs 13,999, making it competitive in the budget 5G segment.
It also comes with a large 6000mAh battery along with 18W Type-C fast charging. A bigger battery is especially useful for users who spend a lot of time watching videos, gaming or using mobile data.
Lava has also improved the cameras compared to the standard Virat V1 5G. The Pro model gets a 50MP AI rear camera, while the front camera has been upgraded from 5MP to 8MP.
These upgrades make the Pro version a more attractive option for buyers who want better cameras without spending too much.
