Lava sure knows how to capture Indian audiences' attention and announced the new Lava Blockbuster Phoneday plan at the beginning of 2013. Under the Blockbuster Phoneday, Lava releases atleast one budget phone every Friday. This weekend, it was another budget-level, entry level phone, the Lava Iris 455. Lava Iris 455
The display is also better as compared to competitors. Though the size is the standard 4.5-inches, Lava, just like Karbonn A24, has fitted the Iris 455 with qHD IPS capacitive display instead of the TFT display which features on the Micromax Ninja A91. This means an overall better viewing experience for the audience. Apart from the OS and the display, other specifications are pretty standard with not much difference. The phone is powered by a 1 GHz dual-core processor. The internal memory is 4 GB with a 512 MB RAM. However, less than 2 GB is available to the user. The phone comes with an SD card slot and supports up to 32 GB expansion, so the lack of internal memory should not be much of an issue. Just like the Micromax Ninja A91 the Laval Iris 455 comes with a 5 MP rear end camera and a basic VGA front end camera for video-calling. Competitor Karbonn A24 however boasts of a better camera at 8 MP. The phone comes with the standard connectivity options like WiFi, GPRS, Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, USB, etc. The one area where Lava Iris 455 disappoints is the battery. The battery is less than satisfactory at 1500 mAh. Though Lava promises 6 hours of talktime in 3G mode, we would be happier with a better battery life. In comparision while Micromax Ninja A91 comes with a 1800 mAh battery which is sufficient, Karbonn A24 boasts of a brilliant 2000 mAh battery. Overall, considering the fact that the phone is a sub-10k device, it does have some note-worthy features to boast of. The biggest asset of Lava Iris 455 is that it runs on Android Jelly Bean instead of ICS. While that might be a good enough reason to go head on with the desi counterparts, is it sufficient, we wonder?
