Extending its Iris X1 series, Lava has announced two new smartphones in the Indian market. The new 5-inch Iris X1 Grand and 4-inch Iris X1 mini price ranges from Rs 7,326 and Rs 4,348.
The Lava Iris X1 Grand sports a 5-inch IPS display with FWVGA 854 x 480 resolution. It runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and comes with a 1.3GHz quad core MTK6582M processor, with 1GB RAM. The device also bundles an Intelligent Flip cover that lets users access the phone’s functions without the need of switching to the main screen. It supports Smart Wake-up and Gesture controls for easy access from lockscreen.
The Iris X1 Grand also comes with an 8MP AF rear camera, double LED flash, auto focus, BSI II sensor, 2MP secondary camera for video calling, 8GB internal storage and microSD card support for up to 32GB. The connectivity options are USB v2.0, Bluetooth v4.0 and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n).
The X1 Mini comes with a smaller 4-inch IPS display. It has a 1.2GHz quad-core chipset and meager 512MB RAM which means it may not be able to handle many apps at the same time. On the camera, one can expect a 5MP rear snapper and a VGA front-facing camera. The mobile also comes with 4GB onboard storage that is expandable up to 32GB via microSD card slot. A 1750mAh battery promising that last up to one day on normal usage completes the package.
