LAVA Iris 501 Review
Score: 43.6 / 100
LAVA Iris 501 is a decently made Android phone, packing a powerful Dual-Core processor clocking at 1 gigahertz, a 5" multi-touch screen, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. We will get a better idea about this device's characteristics when we get into specific details.
This phone is quite slim and looks really nice, while it's not as thin as many other cellphones on sale, with a thickness of 0.41 inches. Lava only sells the LAVA Iris 501 in white color.
The LAVA Iris 501 includes a interesting 5 inches display with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes everything look quite vivid. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
Lava equipped this phone with a good performance Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1000 megahertz and 512 MB of RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic calculations, it also counts with a 200 megahertz PowerVR SGX531 graphic processing unit.
This device provides wi-fi capability (but it can't be shared with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses 2 SIM cards to be able to to use two different phone numbers and even different carriers in the same cellphone.
This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. Additionally, the camera has auto-focus and flash.
This phone features a big capacity 2300 mAh removable battery, which isn't too much for a phone like this. This phone has a reported talk time of 7 hs and a stand by time of 620 hs.
This phone also includes a couple interesting characteristics such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
Lava sells this cellphone for 249 dollars, which is expensive for a phone this level. Lava packs this phone with Battery, Headset, Charger and Handset.
