Lava Iris 352e

Flipkart was prompt in shipping it, and keeped me promptly informed.nnLooks:nThis phone has dazzled me from the time it reached. The box came with a light simple phone, along with a scratch guard and a protective case. It definitely doesn't look shoddy given the price. The resolution is low (after having used an Xperia U earlier), but I'm sure it's comparable to that in phones that are more expensive.nnWorks:nPerformance is smooth as it's running Jelly Bean, albeit the low RAM and memory space. It's totally workable with the regular apps: whatsapp, facebook, gmail - anything that you'd need to make your phone smart. I didn't bother testing games. The only downside is the low memory space, which could be nearly managed with an SD card (I fit in an extra 8 gigs).nnStays:nThe battery is absolutely brilliant! With intermittent data use, it lasted a good two and a half days on a single charge. I'm guessing that the battery's performance would decline over time, but hey, which phone has eternel battery life?!nnShines:nThere was one feature in the phone that stood out. The phone comes with an app called LAVA care, which gives you a list of authorised service locations through the country. The phone has been truly built for the Indian market.nnPays off:nIn conclusion, it's definitely worth every penny of it. At 3549 rupees, it's fully packed and it's great once you add an external memory card. I'm loving it.

I bought the Lava iris 352e as a temporary phone when I lost my old phone. But the features and the specs offered by the lava have bowled me over as the specs offered by the phone seem to be on par with the phone I was planning on buying. The Android Jelly Bean OS flies thanks to the 1GHz dual core processor that powers the device. The phone also comes with an expandable memory card slot that lets me plonk in my massive 32 GB card with all my music videos, moves and photographs. The 2 MP camera isn’t too great but the fact that I can use the front facing camera for video chat with boyfriend.
