Lava Iris X5 coming soon with 5 inch screen and 8GB storage RUMOR!

Lava Mobiles
 may soon launch the Iris X5 handset in India. This dual SIM handset with a 5 inch screen could be priced at under Rs. 8000. The latest import data by Zauba
 reveals some units were imported on 14th August.

Lava imported about 20 Lava Iris X5 units most likely for internal testing. The import data however reveals limited info – like the screen which is of 5 inches and internal storage of 8GB. It is a dual SIM handset (GSM+GSM).
The current trend for budget friendly smartphones is dual core / quad core with 5 inch screen (or less) and running KitKat out of the box. Let us wait and see what the Iris X5 is about. It could take few days to weeks, probably month or two for it to unveil.
For now in the under Rs. 10,000 price range the Asus Zenfone 5
, Moto G,  Moto E
, Iris X1
, Colours 2 and Unite 2
 are doing pretty well. The Moto G however is a little pricy though
. Many users were waiting for my review on the zenfone 5, I have ordered one and will get it by Friday, and you can expect the review on Monday.

Reliance Reconnect RPSPE4701 quad core with HD screen for Rs. 11999

Reliance has launched a quad core powered handset with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. The handset sports a 4.7 inch screen with HD resolution. It supports dual SIM and is priced at Rs. 11,999.

Unfortunately the Reliance Reconnect RPSPE4701 is running Android Jelly Bean 4.2 out of the box and there is no mention whether the handset will get the kitkat update. The Reconnect RPSPE4701 is using probably the MediaTek’s 1.3GHz quad core processor
 with Mali 400 GPU.
There is 1GB RAM (DDR3), 8GB storage and 32GB micro SD card support. Screen is 4.7 inches supporting 1280 x 720 pixels resolution. Smartphone weight is 132 grams. A 13MP camera with LED flash comes packed on the rear and a 2MP on the front.
Key features are 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. Both the SIM’s support 3G. The 2000 mAh Li-ion battery gives a talk time of up to 8 hours. The specs and the features are good however the handset is running Jelly Bean, which is a big disappointment, especially when almost all of the new handsets that are launched come loaded with KitKat.
