LAVA Iris Pro 20 Review
Score: 49.8 / 100
LAVA Iris Pro 20 is a mid-end phone, featuring a medium sized 4.7 inches multi-touch screen, a very fast 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. But it's time to get into some more details.
The LAVA Iris Pro 20 just has 5.43" long, but it is able to fit a a 4.7" display. This phone is incredibly thin and comfortable, being just 0.3 inches thick. The LAVA Iris Pro 20 is much lighter than what one would expect from a phone this size. This phone is available just in blue color.
This phone includes a interesting 960 x 540 4.7-inches screen, making everything look very nice. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
Lava decided to build this phone with a very fast Quad-Core CPU speeding at 1200 MHz and only 1 GB RAM which is a bit poor for such a great cellphone. Graphic calculations usually uses a lot of CPU time, so this cellphone counts with an additional PowerVR SGX544 graphic processing unit speeding at 384 MHz to improve overall performance. This cellphone has a moderate 4 GB internal memory, which is fine knowing that the LAVA Iris Pro 20 also has a slot for an external memory card .
This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. This device can also film HD 1280x720 videos. This camera also features a few good characteristics like flash, auto-focus, HDR mode and geo tagging.
This device uses a 2000 mAh medium capacity Li-Polymer removable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. According to Lava, this cellphone has an estimated 400 hours stand by time and a 7.5 hs talk time.
This cellphone offers Wi-Fi connection (but it can't share it with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The LAVA Iris Pro 20 supports dual SIM to be able to to use two different phone numbers.
This phone also features a few useful features as Bluetooth, GPS Geolocation and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This cellphone is priced 249 dollars, not a really offer for this type of phone.
