First
came Samsung Galaxy Note, followed by an aura of incredulity, got massive
success; then, the market started to get flooded by mobile handsets(or phablets
we should say), sizing in access of 5-inches. Today, there are countless such
handsets waiting to be purchased in the market, manufactured both by Indian and
foreign makers. In the genre of phablets, the Indian manufactures seem to be gaining
the upper hand over the foreign makers. The reason for the domestic makers to
excel in this area is quite conspicuous, they are offering almost the same
specs but at an unbelievably low cost. So, let’s talk one of such indigenous
phablets - Lava Iris 501.
Processor
and RAM
The
Dual-SIM device houses a 1GHz dual core processor, which is companioned by a
512MB RAM. The computing speed of the handset is quite good and it passes the
speed test quite easily.
Display
The
Iris 501 has a 5inch TFT LCD screen. The screen has a pixel resolution of
800x480 has supports 16M colors. The display of the device might not sound
exceptional (which it actually is not) but after using it I found it above
average, without doubt.
Camera
The
5MP camera of the handset takes good pics and visuals. The camera is supported
by an LED flash and offers autofocus. One thing here needs to be emphasized
that the functionality of the camera does not dwindle in low light conditions.
There is a VGA front camera for video chat and self portrait.
Storage
Capacity
The
Iris 501 has a 4GB internal storage capacity; and for those who like to store huge
amount of data and entertainment on their devices, the storage capacity can be
furthered till 32GB via microSD card. The device stores 300SMS and 1000
phonebook entries. No complains.
Battery
2300
mAh Li-Ion battery of the handset gives a talk time of 7 hours over 2G and a
standby time of 25 days to its users. Both the talk time and standby time of
Lava 501 are above average.
Connectivity
In the
connectivity segment, there is GPRS, EDGE, HSPA, and Wi-Fi for Internet
connectivity; for faster and easier data transfer there is USB and Bluetooth
connectivity. Nothing more is expected from a 10K handset.
Other
Features
The
device runs on Android ICS operating system. There are number of sensors such
as: Accelerometer, G-Sensor, Gyroscope, Light Sensor, and Proximity Sensor.
Then there are lots of preloaded apps like Saavn music, Group chat, Hike free
message app, Fushion music app, and other Google things.
The Verdict
The most
amazing thing about this handset is the price to satisfaction ratio; with a
price tag of INR 9999 and features such as 5 inch screen, Android ICS, dual
camera, 2300 mAh battery, 3G, Wi-Fi, and pre-loaded apps, I would say the said
ratio is quite high. Grab the Lava Iris 501.
