The Lava Iris X1 Atom smartphone has been officially launched by the Indian brand as the fifth addition to its well known series. This release is the cheapest option in the lineup as it carries a price tag of just Rs 4444 and it flaunts the same eye-catching design found on every other member.
The Lava Iris X1 Atom is quite similar to the X1 mini smartphone which was launched towards the end of January. In fact, they have almost identical hardware and the only difference is that the former device has been promised an update to Lollipop, while the latter has not. Android 4.4 KitKat comes preloaded on the phone with a stock experience.
Lava states that its new smartphone is designed for first-time users, especially those who are now upgrading from a feature phone. The Iris Atom handset has a good balance of price and performance as it delivers a 1.2GHz quad core processor. Accompanying the chipset is a basic 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. Of course, a microSD card slot is onboard for adding more hoarding space.
