Lava Mobiles will now introduce a new series the Iris X, with a budget friendly price tag and running on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS. The Iris X1 will be the first handset in the series sporting a 4.5 inch IPS screen.
The Lava Iris X1 will come loaded with good features and with exquisite looks, and yes it will run on the KitKat OS. Even the recently launched Lava Iris 406q will get the KitKat Update. It is time for manufactures to move to KitKat and Lava Mobiles seems to have made the right step.
The Iris X1 full specifications are not yet revealed but I doubt if it will be using the MediaTek chipset (nothing confirmed yet) cause we haven’t seen any MediaTek handsets launching with Android 4.4. All that has been revealed so far is – 4.5 inch IPS display, stunning looks (something similar to the pro series) and 8MP rear camera.
The handset will be launched within few days and you can expect some more specifications unveiled as the launch date progresses. Well it’s definitely good news for budget conscious consumers, they can now own a premium looking KitKat powered device for an interesting price of under Rs. 8000.
I think most of the Indian Manufacturers have understood the importance of price factor in India. There was a time when the handset specifications were revealed and the price was announced at the time of launch, today its Vice versa. Stay Tuned.

I think Lava Iris X1, is one of the most important phone for me. good specification and affordable price in India.
Lava should release rest of the device specification soon. I’m waiting for the phone. Even Micromax came up with Unite 2. So many phones launched for 6-8k
Sir,
I have been using LAVA 402 for several months now and have not had any major problem yet. However, the camera quality is not too good and the pictures look grainy. I am now waiting for the X series Xquisite as I wish to upgrade to 4.4 KIT KAT. Can you tell me how soon it will be in the market and the exact price ?
Thanks.
Berkie.
Better than moto e Except of Corning Gorrilla Glass 3…
Launching date please…
The resolution would be a lowly 320×480, the RAM 512 MB, and a pathetic 1500mAH! But, hope they prove me wrong.
No, The new Lava 406q has 1GB ram so obviously the new one would have 1 gb ram it can’t go less it would be adreno 300+ and 1ghz quad core + for sure 🙂 thank god i didnt buy any other phone I m going to buy this phone for sure 😀
AwEsOme move by LAVA ,,
but the thing which is lacking is that customer service :-/
Have u ever been to their service center or just saying just like just to say u can comment.. I am using my phone iris 504q which had some software issue I had also rooted my phone but they repaired it with very few times of saying and they immediately changed my data cable with a better new one without any hesitation.. and a linger ine also in peripheral areas they are expanding their service.. and Lava phones are quality class just more satisfied than my previous sets only camera during night the flash and software update to iris 504q is missing.. My previous sets were Galaxy s and xolo q800 and samsung are real cheaters product ate below way below their price.. using custom roms In My mobile and very happy with it with my rough use its surviving great.. lack of accessories are headache..
yes I am using iris 501 form past 9 months. no doubt the handset is one of the best product from lava. and about service center , they are better than any other Indian brand. in my city sc of MMX karbonn and lava are in same building. I see more rush in MMX and karbonn than lava. lava guys are awesome . they are polite and always willing to help. so shut ur mouth if u don’t have any knowlage
Lava after sales is good . I started my relation with lava when I bought iris 405 for my father .that time I have some doubt about the phone .later I submit the phone for board complaint in lava service center .according to my experience its just awesome . currently am using 504q for last 9 months .also I bought 504q+two week ago for my brother .lava is definitely quality class not like MMX or karbonn.
first time hearing from someone that lava service is good…i myself using a lava iris 501 and the product quality is great and it has one of the best cameras in its class but sorry to say,the service is very poor …
I have brought lava iris pro 20 just 5 days ago and i have faced a problem (Display is not fitted properly there is a gap) and i took to the service centre they fitted the display properly and another day the display again comes out just a small gap i again take my phone to the service centre the just ordered a phone and i got it on yesterday
They are Really good and i think some of the guys commenting without knowing/using the product
1Gb RAM & Quad Core processor.. Then game, set & match. . Welcome to the game Lava & bye bye Moto E..
P. S- Its been 1yr im using Lava Iris 455 & i was looking for worthy successor now i think its been found..
Props to Lava for stepping up, hopefully Xolo, Micromax and other Indian Brands will follow Lava’s footstep and provide KitKat 4.4.2 in the box
Sir, Why MediaTek handsets didn’t launched till today with Android 4.4 ?
medeatek does not release kernal for kitkat. kernal is use to create rom for mobiles.
