The Lava Iris 502 price has snuck out and taken a stand on a retailer’s website, showing off a tag of Rs. 8,499. With the company’s recent announcement over Facebook as well as Twitter about launching a new smartphone every Friday and seeing as it hasn’t released any so far, it could be quite possible that the device in question is the first contestant of this drive, known as BlockBuster Phone Day.
Apart from the aforesaid retail value, the device has managed to grab a handful of specifications on its way out. Seen fitted within dimensions of 145.5mm x 78mm x 10.2mm is a 5-inch TFT LCD screen, hosting a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It may not pack the latest version of Android, but it still offers a relatively fresher edition of the OS as compared to other devices in a similar range.
With a 1GHz processor to render the speed and 512MB of RAM to aid the CPU in its operations, the smartphone takes on various activities such as downloading content, watching a video, browsing the Internet and so on. Out of 4GB of inbuilt storage, merely 2GB has been kept aside for users to hoard content in. In addition to this, the embedded microSD card slot should support a memory card of up to 32GB.
Users should be able to take advantage of features such as auto focus and face detection while employing the incorporated 5MP main camera for imaging purposes. A VGA front-facing webcam will take its place on the top left corner above the screen. Even though the phone supports 3G, the activity time derivable using a 2,000mAh battery has been defined only for those on 2G. To spell it out, owners could enjoy up to 9 hours or 16 days of talk time or standby, respectively.
Saholic has listed the Iris 502 on its website, but the smartphone hasn’t hit availability status as yet. It will be dished out splashed in shades of black and can moreover be spotted on Flipkart, although without a retail value. Knowing what day it is, we believe that the confirmation or the refutation of the handset being a part of BlockBuster Phone Day should surface anytime now.
