LAVA Iris X1 Grand Review
Score: 48.4 / 100
LAVA Iris X1 Grand is a mid level phone, featuring a very fast Quad-Core CPU clocking at 1300 MHz, a quite big 5 inches multi touch capacitive display, and two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera.
Lava sells this cellphone in 2 different colors: black and white. The LAVA Iris X1 Grand is thin, being just 0.36" thick. This cellphone is only 5.67" long, but it still manages to hold a 5" display.
Lava designed this phone with an average 5 inches screen, and a 854 x 480 resolution, making everything look quite nice. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
This cellphone ships with an extremely powerful 1300 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit low for such a good phone. A good point of this cellphone is its 8 GB quite big internal storage memory and a slot for an external memory card, enough to install a couple hundred apps and games without any trouble.
This cellphone features wi-fi connection (but it can't share it with other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot) and 3G data connection, over UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone comes with two SIM cards so it is able to use 2 different phone numbers and even different carriers at the same time.
The LAVA Iris X1 Grand is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting 1920x1080 Full HD videos. In addition, the camera includes a couple of useful features: auto-focus, flash, HDR mode, face detection shooting and geo tagging.
This phone uses a 2200 mAh great Li-Polymer removable battery, which isn't very promising for a phone like this. This cellphone has a reported stand by time of 240 hs and a talk time of 12 hours.
This cellphone also includes a couple of cool characteristics like Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This cellphone is priced $ 249, which is very expensive for a phone this level.
