Impressions :
The device offers a rich set of features for a mid range android smartphone. The Quad core processor and 1 GB RAM is a standard across all the mid range devices. The unique functionality in the device include the 10 MP camera with Sony Exmor sensor with increased pixel size for better low light photography much like what HTC has been implementing in Ultrapixel Camera present in HTC One M7 and HTC One M8. Also, 5 inch android devices tend to be bigger and difficult to manage, the slim profile of the handset can be an added benefit in this regard. The gesture motion functionality can capture images by voice commands, switch tracks, images and FM channels by a swipe of hand in the air. Also, Stock Android Jelly Bean means you can enjoy Pure Vanilla experience of Android much like Nexus series devices.
Hosting an impressive set of unique features and a price tag that falls within the sub 15000 price range, The LAVA Iris 504Q+ makes a good contender in the mid range android smartphone category.
