LAVA Iris 406Q Review
Score: 48.2 / 100
LAVA Iris 406Q is a decent device, coming with a 4-inches capacitive touch-screen, a high performance Quad-Core CPU speeding at 1.2 GHz, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera.
Lava sells this device with an extremely powerful Quad-Core CPU running at 1200 MHz, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chip and only 1 GB RAM which is a little bit low for such a great cellphone. Graphic calculations usually consume lots of processor cycles, so this phone counts with an additional 400 MHz Adreno 302 GPU to help with that calculations. The LAVA Iris 406Q has a 4 GB internal storage, a reasonable quantity that should be fine for the average user having that the LAVA Iris 406Q also has an SD memory card expansion slot .
While this phone is very slim and comfortable it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones you can find, with a thickness of 0.41". Lava made this phone in black and white.
The LAVA Iris 406Q is equipped with two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. It is capable of capturing videos up to 1280x720 (HD). In addition, the camera has a few nice characteristics: flash, HDR mode, fast burst mode and geo tagging.
Lava equipped this cellphone with a good level 4-inches display, and a 800 x 480 resolution, providing this phone with a very nice graphic quality.
The LAVA Iris 406Q includes wifi connection (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a router or modem) and 3G internet connection, over UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone supports dual sim so it's able to work with 2 different phone lines or carriers at the same time.
The LAVA Iris 406Q also includes a handful of useful features like Bluetooth (provides communication with other cellphones, computers and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The LAVA Iris 406Q features a good 1700 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, although you will probably need to charge it even after moderate usage.
Lava is selling this phone for 249 dollars, which is not a good offer for a phone this level.
