Comparison review
The HTC Aria is a little bit better than the LAVA Iris 401, getting a 46.5 score against 42.3. Both devices in this review work with Android OS, but HTC Aria has the older 2.2 version and LAVA Iris 401 has Android 4.2 version. The LAVA Iris 401 counts with a better looking display than HTC Aria, because it has more pixels per screen inch, a lot better 800 x 480 resolution and a bigger screen.
The HTC Aria's memory to install games and applications is just as good as LAVA Iris 401's one, both have a slot for SD memory cards that supports a maximum of 32 GB. The LAVA Iris 401 features a quite better processing power than HTC Aria, because although it has doesn't have an additional graphics co-processor, and they both have the same RAM amount, the LAVA Iris 401 also counts with a greater number of cores (and faster).
HTC Aria features a camera that's just as good as the camera in LAVA Iris 401, although the HTC Aria also has a much higher 5 MP resolution camera. The LAVA Iris 401 counts with better battery performance than HTC Aria, because it has 1450mAh of battery capacity.
Even being the best phone of the ones we are comparing here, the HTC Aria is also very cheap compared to the other ones.
