LAVA Iris 503 Review
Score: 46.1 / 100
LAVA Iris 503 is a decent quality Android phone, having a fast 1.2 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit, a good size 5-inches touch-screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front camera.
Lava made this phoneavailable only in white color. Whereas this cellphone is quite thin it's not even close to being one of the thinnest phones currently available, with a thickness of 0.41 inches. This phone is a very compact device, considering it has a 5 inches screen and it is just 5.64" long and 2.89 inches wide. This cellphone feels a bit heavy comparing to other phones , with a weight of 6.07 oz.
Lava decided to build this phone with a good performance Dual-Core processor running at 1.2 gigahertz and 512 MB of RAM memory. This phone counts with a 4 GB internal storage, a fair quantity that should be adequate for the average user considering it also has an external memory slot .
Lava equipped the LAVA Iris 503 with a good level 5 inches display, and a 960 x 540 resolution, giving this device a good image quality. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.
The LAVA Iris 503 features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.3 MP front side camera. It is also able to shoot videos in 1280x720 (HD). The camera also counts with a lot of cool characteristics: flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting and HDR mode.
The LAVA Iris 503 has WiFi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and 3G internet connection, using UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with 2 SIM cards so it can to work with 2 different phone lines or carriers.
This cellphone also features a couple cool features as Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This phone has a 2000 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion removable battery that provides the LAVA Iris 503 a not very long battery duration comparing with other similar phones. This phone has a reported 388 hs stand by time and a 5.5 hs talk time according to Lava.
The LAVA Iris 503 costs about 155 dollars, a really high price for comparing with similar phones.
