Lava Iris 458q, the cheapest quad-core processor Android phone in India

Lava is again in the news with the launch of its cheapest quad core processor smartphone. Lava has launched Iris 458q that is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and is available for Rs.8,999.

The phone features a 4.5 inch capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 480 X 854 pixels. The best point is that it runs on latest Android 4.2 (Jelly bean). The phone’s internal memory is merely 4 GB that can be increased upto 32 GB with an external memory card. The Ram is disappointingly 512 MB. So, you will not get a very smooth performance from the phone.

Lava Iris 458q features an 8 MP primary camera with auto-focus, face detection and LED flash. There is a VGA front camera too for video calling. You can record HD videos with the primary camera.

From connectivity point of view, the phone has 3G, EDGE, micro USB, Bluetooth v3 and A-GPS. The phone has a 2000 mAh battery that gives a talk time of 10 hours on 3G network.
