Want a new phone? Well I can surely suggest a few, and one of them is the all new Lava Iris X8. The smartphone is supposed to be available across the retail stores and on Flipkart from Monday. Priced at just 8999 INR, it's worth considering it as a possible option.
Display and Design:
The smartphone has a 5-inch HD IPS Display with a resolution of
720 X 1280 pixels and this display is protected by Asahi Dragontrail glass protection.
The phone is 8.6 mm thick and weighs only 160 g.
Camera Features:
Everybody loves a smartphone with a good camera. And believe me,
this one is not bad either. The phone comes with a 8 MP rear camera with LED
flash and a BSI 3 sensor. For all the selfie lovers, it comes with a 3 MP front
camera.
Processor and Speed:
The Smartphone is a Dual-Sim phone running on a 1.4 GHz
octa-core processor which is boarded with a 2 GB RAM. The processor comes with
Mali 450 MP GPU.
OS, Storage and Battery:
The OS provided with the phone is the KitKat (4.4.4) version of
Android, but Lava claims that it is upgradable to Lollipop but there is no information yet about the availability of updates. Looking on the
storage side, the smartphone comes with a 16 GB internal memory and it also
supports microSD card upto 32 GB. The device is powered by a 2500 mAh battery
with no words on talk time and stand by yet.

Final Conclusion:
At just 8999, you can't
ask for more, and some specific features indeed make it a powerful phone. The Indian
handset manufacturer has even tied up with Airtel as a result you get up to
500MB of free 3G data usage for first two months in 3G circles with the device,
while those in 2G network circles will also receive 2G data. The enterprise is
also offering a bundled flip cover with the handset which can considered good
marketing on their part.
