LAVA Iris Fuel 50 Review
Score: 49.7 / 100
LAVA Iris Fuel 50 is a mid level Android phone, counting with a big 5" multi-touch screen, an exceptional Quad-Core CPU running at 1300 megahertz, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front side camera.
Lava decided to sell this cellphone with an exceptional Quad-Core CPU ticking at 1.3 GHz and only 1 GB RAM which is a little poor for a cellphone of this quality. A good advantage of this device is its quite large 8 GB internal storage and an external memory slot, allowing the user to install a couple hundred applications and games without worrying about space.
The LAVA Iris Fuel 50 feels much lighter than what you expect from a phone like this. Even though this phone is only 5.7" long and 2.87" wide, it is still able to fit a a 5 inches screen. The LAVA Iris Fuel 50 has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.37 inches. Lava just sells this phone in black color.
The LAVA Iris Fuel 50 features two cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. This cellphone also has some useful characteristics like auto-focus, flash, HDR mode and geo tagging.
This phone is equipped with an average 5-inches display with a 854 x 480 resolution, which makes all images and videos look quite colorful and brightful. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.
This phone features WiFi connectivity (but it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G connectivity, over UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone supports dual sim cards so it can to work with 2 different phone lines or carriers at the same time.
The LAVA Iris Fuel 50 also features a few cool characteristics like Bluetooth, GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This cellphone packs a 3000 mAh massive Li-Polymer removable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. This cellphone has an aproximate talk time of 17 hs and a stand by time of 370 hours according to Lava.
This device is really overvalued considering it is sold for $ 249, while many similar phones are sold for much less than that.
