Verdict
Lava has launched the BeU as a budget Android Go phone that can run apps without needing heavy hardware. Which is why you get 2GB RAM but the built-in Unisoc chipset fares below expectations, even at this price. Having said that, you do get a large screen with HD+ resolution that can be used for watching videos. Having multiple rear cameras is always a bonus at the price, and you get a decent selfie camera too. However, the battery life could have been better.
