Lovense Gravity vs Svakom Ava Neo: Stroke, Battery Life, and App
The Lovense Gravity and the Svakom Ava Neo belong to the same family: vibrating dildos with a motorized thrusting mechanism, controllable via an app, including remotely. Lovense presents the Gravity as a suction-cup model designed for hands-free use on smooth surfaces; Svakom describes the Ava Neo as a more compact format with a cushioned head and a slightly ribbed shaft. We have tested neither one: this comparison puts side by side the specifications published by the two brands on their product pages, without adding any data to them.

Thrusting amplitude: 30 mm versus 8 mm
This is the clearest numerical gap between the two spec sheets. Lovense states a stroke length of 3 cm, or 30 mm, for the Gravity, with a cadence reaching up to 140 strokes per minute. Svakom states an amplitude of 8 mm for the Ava Neo and does not disclose a cadence. Both brands claim a sensation close to penetration, but they’re describing different movements: on one side a long stroke, on the other a brief motion that Svakom pairs with a “non-pinching” ribbed shaft and a cushioned head, two comfort features absent from the Gravity’s page. Neither page gives a noise level or a measurement of thrusting force, so there’s no way to compare on those points. The choice therefore comes down to the type of movement sought, not a measured performance.
Suction cup and hands-free use: an argument unique to the Gravity
Lovense highlights a suction cup described as powerful, allowing the Gravity to be attached to a smooth surface for hands-free use, and explicitly mentions the bathtub among possible surfaces in its product pairing suggestions. The Ava Neo’s page mentions no attachment system at all: Svakom instead emphasizes a compact format, 186 mm and 149 g, and operation “in any position,” which points to handheld use. These are two different approaches to the same use case: the Gravity advertises a fixed anchor point and a larger size, 259 mm in length and 116 mm in circumference according to Lovense; the Ava Neo a lighter, shorter object, with 112 mm insertable. Lovense’s page does not specify the Gravity’s weight.
Apps: music sync on one side, calls and video content on the other
Both products can be controlled at short and long range. For the Gravity, Lovense’s Remote app lists three stable levels, up to ten patterns, unlimited thrusting and vibration modes, music sync, and sound activation, with compatibility for iOS 11 and above, Android 5.0 and above, Mac, and Windows PC via a Lovense Bluetooth adapter. Svakom, for its part, announces additional presets and customizable patterns in the SVAKOM app, control sharing from any distance, as well as built-in text chat and video calls, plus playback of movements from compatible interactive adult content. Lovense also mentions sync scenarios between several of its devices, for example with the Solace Pro or the Lush 4. The two ecosystems therefore don’t offer the same extra features.
Battery life, water resistance, warranty: three opposing trade-offs
On battery life, the stated gap is significant: Lovense claims 3.5 to 4 hours of continuous use for the Gravity, while Svakom claims about 1 hour for the Ava Neo, with a 650 mAh battery and nearly 2 hours of charging time. Both charge via USB. On waterproofing, the advantage switches sides: Svakom claims an IPX7 rating with submersion up to one meter, while Lovense states IPX6 for the Gravity, described as water resistance that makes cleaning easier, with no mention of submersion. The warranty follows the same reversed pattern: one year from Lovense for the Gravity, versus two years of replacement plus ten years of quality support from Svakom. On materials, Lovense cites body-safe soft silicone, Svakom liquid silicone and ABS. Both boxes include the toy, a USB cable, and a manual.
Advantages of B
Svakom claims an IPX7 rating for the Ava Neo, with submersion up to one meter, compared to Lovense’s IPX6 for the Gravity, along with longer coverage: two years of replacement plus ten years of quality support. The format is more discreet on paper, 186 mm and 149 g with 112 mm insertable, featuring a cushioned head and a ribbed shaft presented as non-pinching. The spec sheet also details five modes and five intensities available for each function, and the SVAKOM app adds chat, video calls, and compatibility with interactive content.
Where the Ava Neo does better
Svakom claims an IPX7 rating for the Ava Neo, with submersion up to one meter, compared to Lovense’s IPX6 for the Gravity, along with longer coverage: two years of replacement plus ten years of quality support. The format is more discreet on paper, 186 mm and 149 g with 112 mm insertable, featuring a cushioned head and a ribbed shaft presented as non-pinching. The spec sheet also details five modes and five intensities available for each function, and the SVAKOM app adds chat, video calls, and compatibility with interactive content.
Gravity or Ava Neo: which one to choose?
The Lovense Gravity — The Lovense Gravity suits those looking for a large-amplitude thrusting motion, a 3 cm stroke reaching up to 140 strokes/min according to Lovense, with a suction cup for hands-free use and a claimed battery life of 3.5 to 4 hours. Its app adds music sync, sound activation, and compatibility with Windows PC via a Bluetooth adapter.
The Svakom Ava Neo — The Svakom Ava Neo is better suited to those who prioritize a compact size (186 mm, 149 g) and a claimed IPX7 rating for submersion, along with a two-year warranty and ten years of quality support. Its app includes chat, video calls, and interactive content, at the cost of a claimed battery life of around one hour.
Frequently asked questions
Which of the two can be used in the bath or shower?
Svakom claims an IPX7 rating for the Ava Neo, described by the brand as waterproof and submersible up to one meter, making it explicitly suited to shower or bath use according to the brand. Lovense claims IPX6 for the Gravity, presented as water resistance that makes cleaning easier, mentioning the suction cup attaching in the bathtub, but without any mention of full submersion.
Can they be controlled remotely by a partner?
Yes, both brands claim this feature. Lovense states that the Gravity offers short- and long-distance control via the Lovense Remote app, with adjustable thrusting and vibration levels. Svakom states that the Ava Neo pairs with the SVAKOM app to share control from any distance, with the app also including built-in text chat and video calls.
Is the app required to use them?
The two pages answer this differently. Svakom lists five modes and five intensities of thrusting, vibration, and combined motion for the Ava Neo, with the app used to unlock additional presets or create custom ones. Lovense describes the Gravity as fully programmable via Lovense Remote, with three stable levels and up to ten patterns; controls without the app are not specified.
