Lava has been trying to rival the likes of the Micromax and Karbonn in India by following a dual branding approach by launching Android powered smartphones under Lava and Xolo brands. The company has covered its base in the Xolo series and now is giving the Iris series that shot in the arm. The company has just launched the country’s cheapest quad core device, the Lava Iris 458q for Rs.8,999 and the smartphone seems a nice deal for the beginners.
Lava, the Indian electronics manufacturer has just launched the Iris 405 which is the latest member of the Iris series from the home grown smartphone manufacturer. The Iris 405 has a 4 inch capacitive display which has resolution of 800×480 pixels which shall be just adequate for a screen this size. The company has priced the smartphone quite competitively and it will be sold for Rs.7,499.
The smartphone has its heart as a 1GHz dual core processor which will be a Mediatek unit. The smartphone launches with the latest version of Android, 4.1 Jelly Bean and it is quite nice to see that as smartphones in that price segment usually run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The device comes with a 5 megapixel rear shooter and a VGA front snapper and the device gets a decent camera unit for the price it commands.
Lava, the Indian smartphone manufacturer has been following a dual approach in the Indian market. The slightly premium handsets come under the brand name Xolo whereas the slightly cheaper handsets come under the brand name Lava. Lava had announced a budget 5 inch phablet back in January, the Lava Iris 501 which ran on Android Ice Cream Sandwich but now Lava is upgrading it to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
That is not all that is going to happen. The smartphone has also been given a price cut and from the previous price of Rs.9,999, the device will now start to retail for Rs.7,999 (Buy Now) which gives the smartphone a big advantage over the similarly specced smartphones. The Lava Iris 501 comes with a 5 inch capacitive display of 800×480 pixels resolution which is similar to the one found on the Micromax Canvas 2 A110.
