LAVA Iris 504q

FIRST IMPRESSION , Look and Design

The first thing you notice when you hold the Lava Iris-504 in your palm is its light weight and compact design. The IRIS 504-Q is Slim, Sleek and has a premium look. It looks much premium than actually it is. The look of the device resembles the most of HTC devices, specially from front. It is only 8.4mm thick and weighs 140 grams which makes its handy and easy to hold, even for long time. At top front of the handset there are bunch of sensors, earpiece with integrated notification LED (usually blinks when you connect something with micro USB port), a 2megapixel front cam below that is 5″ IPS display and at the bottom there are three touch sensitive buttons. At the back of the smartphone there is a 8 MP autofocus camera with BSI sensor, LED flash and noise cancellation MIC , logo and loudspeaker grill. The power button is placed at the right of the handset whereas as the Volume keys are placed on the left of phone. Micro USB port and 3.5mm audio jack are locked on the top and primary microphone at the bottom of device. Its hardware and the built quality is robust and we have not noticed any sort of rattling noise from any where in the device .

Display

• Lava Iris Pro Series to unveiled on 17th Jan - SMART ART

The Iris 504 q has 5-inch IPS display (320 DPI) with OGS technology having 1280×720 pixels resolution at 294 PPI (pixels per inch). The display is quite bright and you love to play games and watch movies on the handset. The color rendering and propagation is fairly impressive. The display is visible indoor and outdoor as well.

USER INTERFACE

The handset Iris runs on Android 4.2.1 Jellybean OS, Lava has included Gesture control feature to make the handset more approachable to the user. The smartphone comes pre-loaded with bunch of games and Social networking apps. The flip cover that comes free with the device automatically wakes up the phone when you open it, actually it has in built magnet which completes the magnetic sensor circuit when you open the flip cover and vica-versa.

MEMORY and SLOTS

The handset comes with 4GB of on board storage and 1GB of RAM. Out of 971MB RAM about 610 MB ram is available. 0.98GB of memory is allocated for installing apps ( apps can be move to micro SD card) and 1.6GB is available for USER out of 4GB ROM.

Performance, Speed, Lag and Gaming

• Lava Pixel V2

To power the device there is 1.2GHz quad-core processor integrated with PowerVR SGX 544MP Graphics processing unit. We have not notice any major lag from the device although while performing high end tasks you may notice minor lag. Overall the handset is quite smooth. Let me tell you very honestly that Gionee Gpad G2 is bit more faster than this.

Browser and GAMING

We have not seen any sort of lag while surfing our website on the browser, the pinch to zoom and kinetic scrolling is smooth. You can play videos directly from the browser and on the same page, in the same way you play in PC.

The Iris-504q can record and supports Full HD 1080p video playback. The played bunch of graphics intensive games like Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 2 (pre-installed), Nova 3, Temple Run and Cricket Fever (pre loaded) with any sort of lag. All the above games worked smoothly.

WRAP UP

The Price of the phone is RS. 13,300. Micromax Canvas Magnus A117 is another Rival for the 504 q.
