Lava Iris X1 Mini will cater to those who are in the market for a low-cost Android phone that doesn’t have too low hardware. With a\u00a04-inch WVGA (480×800 pixels) resolution IPS display, this phone packs 1.2 GHz quad-core processor with only 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of built-in storage.<\/p>\n
On the back of the phone there is a 5 MP PureCel Sensor camera with LED flash. The front side of the camera has a not-so-good 0.3 MP camera. The phone is backed by a 1750 mAh capacity battery.<\/p>\n
Lava Iris X1 Mini comes with Android KitKat out of the box. But the company didn’t say whether it will receive update to Lollipop in the future. This too will hit the market around the first week of February and will cost\u00a0Rs. 4,348.<\/p>\n
Notably, Lava Iris X1 was launched in May 2014. The company said that it received huge response from the users and therefore launching two new variants of the phone. While the Lava Iris X1 Grand seems like a good phone to go with, it remains to be seen how the market reacts to the smaller brother X1 Mini with less-than-adequate hardware specifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
