Lava Iris 356

gave lava a leap of faith and bought this mobile without any prior reviews.Til now it seems a good decisionnnProcesser: quite good. runs temple run, deadly moto racing and 720p videos quite flawlessly. (did not check with 1080p and high end games)..for normal use processer excels.nnsound: handset speaker is good. hedset sound sucks however very good output with my philips headset.(It seems it supports nokia hedset also and the hedset button can be used for play/pause and next. But call sound is lower) n call voice clarity of handset is not so good as compared to nokia. nncamera: main camera is worst i have ever seen. flash is no better than candle light. front camera no good too.nnram: around 100 mb is available for users so performance is good for normal use. 512 mb ram is required if you want to run heavy apps.temple run and similar apps runs smoothly. nninternal memory : 165mb, 140 mb is available. but after downloading few games and updating few aps on SD card, it is now 100 mb as some part is always downloaded in internal memory. nnBuild quality: Update: Build quality not good. My set has manufacturing defects and have asked flipkart for replacement. Light of home and back button doesnt work. Touch Screen is so erratic that with two hand u cant type any thing. however using one hand only, u can type(sometimes problem in that also). My set's screen is so sensitive that even putting ur finger over the screen can lead to various commands. without even touching it. nnsilicon pouch given in the box is very good.screen guard is also provided in the box.nndisplay: crisp and clear.nnBattery: as you can guess it is not so good. lasted 10-12 hrs with 45 min call, internet browsing - 3-3.5 hrs, downloading and playing few games(around 1-2 hrs). 2g data was on for the whole period. (using single sim only)nnnet: 2g browsing speed is very good on opera mini. havent tried 3g. wifi is good.hotspot and usb thethering are working fine. nnhandset config is nice but issues are with its proper functioning. I dont think even the replaced model will work for a decent period. I will update after using replaced model.

Pros:nnSilk smooth touchnLatest andriod versionn1.2 duelcore processorn3gnAwesome net speednSuper hotspot wifinPrice rangenncons:nCamera 1.3MPnBattery (its common in all andriod devices)nnFinal verdict:nnThose who are starting with the adriod devices for the 1st time... this is the best phone for rough and tough use...nnBest part: Internet speed.n4.5/5nnNote: if you keep searching and reading reviews on mobiles you will not get better phone at this price range.. simpley go for it.
