As the name suggests all the handsets in the Fuel series will be super efficient. The handsets will come with high battery capacity that would give a much better usage time on a single charge. The dual SIM Iris Fuel 50 houses the 1.3GHz MediaTek quad core processor – seen on many handsets. It is using Mali 400 GPU.

With reference to the camera the Fuel 50 comes loaded with a 2MP fixed focus front camera and an 8MP auto focus camera with BSI II sensor on the rear.
Gesture and double tap (to wake the screen) are support. Other features are 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. The Li-po battery is of a good 3000 mAh capacity that as per the company gives continuous usage time of 1.5 days on a full charge.
Lava Iris Fuel 50 is available for Rs. 7,799.
my brother got this phone. it comes with a non removable battery. after 3 day there remaining 85% of battery awesome battery backup
Better Mobile At 7700/-. But Please Drop the price to 6999/- or 7250/- then it creates more buzz in market. Coming to built quality of this mobile is very good. 5 inch display with dragon trail glass, quad core, 8mp, 8gb memory and massive 3000mAH li poly battery. Now a days battery is very important for smartphones. many other manufacturers using 2000 mAH li ion battery which gives only half day back up. u want 2 charge daily twise or thrise. So fuel 50 is better than Canvas 2 Colors. And Gionee M2 which is priced 10000/- and more bulky. Spice Mi518 is also a good option. Now a days spice silently comebacked. Now Micromax Please Launch A phone with 4000mAH under 8000/-. Canvas Juice is their but It is Dual core , jelly bean.
Gogi when u ll provide review of this phone pls tell I am waiting.
only if they would also provide some water ingress protection. This would be a perfect phone.
Mr. Gogi sir when u ll provide review of this phone pls tell im wating
Done with these overpriced annoying phones that die in a year’s time!! SO SICK OF HAVING TO SHELL OUT MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THESE WORTHLESS PIECES OF CRAP THAT PRICE THEIR PHONES OVER 30,000 AND SUCH! IM TOTALLY BOYCOTTING THEM ALL AND THEY CAN GO TO HELL!! WHY SHOULD I SPEND SO MUCH MONEY WHEN THIS FUEL 50 MODEL OFFERS 8 GB MEMORY AND 3000 MAH BATTERY AND 1.3 GHZ QUAD CORE FOR SUCH A GOOD PRICE. REALLY FEEL DUPED BY THOSE BIG COMPANIES!! #IMDONE
Bas. Decided. Birthday present from my parents will be this phone. Yup for sure. Dying to buy this one because of the 3000 mAh battery capacity (HUGE MAN) and the 1.3 Ghz Quad Core processor. I can’t even consider a processor slower than that because I hate it when apps take time to open as I am super duper impatient about such things. I also like big screens and five inch sounds really great to me.
Gogi are you going to review on this i will only buy this after your review
Spice stellar 518 is better at same price tag
Actually 3000 mAh. must be mandated to be the standard size of battery with a 5inch display, with optional 4000 mAh. battery and back cover available from manufacturer, along with charging docks. Lots of people with with access to poor Indian networks, get low battery life on account of sub standard networks. And this would be a sure answer to this.
same for lava iris 458q which has 2000 mah having good battery life.only problem is 512 mb ram
Spice stellar 518 seems better with 4000mah battery.
Now flow of makers seems to be towards providing higher battery capacity with quad core,which I feel is a very good move,as gionee m2 has been silently selling well at much much higher price with none to compete in regard to this feature. Now we have two for now ,this one and spice stellar 518 another.
Many people are still asking for qhd/hd resolution with these features, but i feel for normal usage fwvga with ips is more than enough ,giving better battery life further.
I have been using lava iris 501 with dual core 1ghz,512 ram,non ips fwvga resolution,2300 mah battery,still enjoying it with Lewa lite rom, perfect for it. My only complain has been the poor 512 MB ram. Rest is more than enough for a good normal user experience.
Also what is to be seen is the battery quality ! i have generally noticed that lot of so call Indian manufacturers a.k.a. brown box packers like Micromax, Karbonn etc., have battery marked as 2000 mAh. packed in mobiles but providing very low back up time, compared to e,g. Samsung, Xiaomi etc., where the 2000 mAh. battery in a similar specced mobile providing better back up, pointing to a superior quality battery being used.
finally with mediatek processor…..
Good for the price .,,what is the weight of the handset ??
Hi vsk,
The weight for Iris fuel 50 is 160 gm.
Simply WOW !! 🙂
micromax A177 is already available at rs 5200 with 3000 mAh battery but it is with dual core.
16 gb internal, app to move to sd card, atleast HD resolution screen ought to have provided. anyways, people are now tending towards android one phones they are the flavour of the season. with little drop in prices of A1 phones from 6499 to 5500, they are just formidable
What the hell !!!! Good battery but pathetic screen resolution ! These indian companies should understand that we need HD screen with such battery….
Which glass is better. Asahi dragon trail or corning gorilla glass??
Both are good. But corning gorilla glass puts extra protection on scratches.
Gorilla Glass is Better…
According to the reports ‘Asahi dragon trail’ glass is best because it’s more durable & can handle the weight upto 60kgs. but it didn’t perform well in some drop tests.
3000 mAh capacity of lava,mmx,karbonn etc battery equals to 1000 mAh of nokia…
yes that’s true. Nokia panel needs low backlight for good brightness whereas most of these low cost China panels need strong backlight,
we need to increase brightness to 80% for basic visibility and that drains battery.
still Gionee m2 scores:)
Hope they stand by specification would buy if the battery life is really great.
Everything looks ok for the price, except the resolution.should have been at least qHD resolution.
But company will not speak how much time u need to charge the battery to full , may be entire night
Gogi ji, will they provide smaller phones with big batteries in the series?
Bigger battery, we can top up the charge when we can. So when the need comes it will be full. If we wait till the charge is near to zero for charging and have no source to charge, then what is the point.
