Lava Mobiles launched their first windows powered handset for a good price of Rs. 4,999. The lava Iris Win1 will be running Windows Phone 8.1 out of the box and will be competing with other low budget Windows phone that are already available in the Indian markets.
Lava Iris Win1 is powered by qualcomm snapdragon quad core processor clocked at 1.2GHz. The good part is that it runs WP 8.1 with 1GB RAM. In addition there is 8GB of internal storage and 32GB micro SD card support.
It is a windows powered dual SIM handset sporting a 4 inch IPS screen with 800 x 480 pixels resolution. There is an auto focus camera of 5MP resolution placed on the rear. The rear camera is with BSI+ sensor and also comes with LED flash support. Front facing camera is of VGA resolution.
Key features are 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. The Iris Win1 comes loaded with a 1950 mAh battery that should be sufficient for such a configuration.
Lava Iris Win1 will be made available on Flipkart starting from 4th of December 2014 for Rs. 4,999.
One buyer says there is Call Recorder and another one says it does not have Call Recorder. Now who is correct. I am interested to buying this mobile but in a dilemma now as this feature is important for me. Can someone pl clarify.

Dear Gogi,
Please review it ASAP, want to buy one, but not before your review.
Gogi …
Review this phone as soon as possible …
this is a revolutionary phone …
comeback handset for microsoft
It has built in call recorder. A first for windows mobile I think.
It does not have inbuilt call recorder. I bought it 2 days back. Feeling deceived.
Awesome first day offer on Flippy, those who want to grab it, HURRRRYYYYY.
Also Gogi a review about the build quality and how this one fares (no HERE maps and stock Win 8 camera) against the budget 530.
It comes with HERE maps and HERE drive pe-installed.
Awesome
Very well priced better than the android One price
Nice going Lava
Hi Gogi,
Which snapdragon processor it has, 200/400?
Thanks for the reply.
Snapdragon 200
Hi gogi, Do you have any info regarding future software updates of non microsoft windows phone
Even if the company doesn’t provide update for their phones, you can Activate “Preview for Developers” and get the latest version on your WP.
It is very easy.
1. First turn your Microsoft account into a developer one by logging in on Windows Appstudio website
2. download the app “Preview for Developers”
3. Sign in
4. Select checkbox and click accept
Thank you brother
Very Well Priced for the specs
double bonanza..win os, snapdragon pro, 5mp cam..all@ 4.7k….awesome…now US people wl be jealous !!
Quad core with 1 GB ram and IPS display for less than 5K
Seems better than 530 at low end WP market.
Sir i want to ask ,what is good, android or windows in your opinian. What is special in windows phones.
Windows phone generally provide much better touch response and has done unque feature. Where as android features more customization. But slow response. If you want to go for lower end buy the windows phone .
Speciality of windows phone is the lag free is
At 1gb ram its equivalent to 2 GB android device
Almost all major apps are there. So no worries.
Integration of social media is major plus
Around 5000 this phone offers more value than any similar priced android phones
Gogi please review it and also look for HERE maps. Does it come with preinstalled HERE maps?
You can install Here maps from the store
Thank bro
But I heard that non Lumia WP does not support HERE maps and drive
Please confirm it
It comes pre-installed.
This is good move by Microsoft
It has almost same configuration as that of MOTO E. Same pprocecesso, same ram and same rear cam and also it sports front vga, which moto doesn’t have.
Now the best part is it houses wp 8.1 not the laggy android.
And its unbelievable price just 5k!!!!!
Finally a competitor for N520.
Would have been great if it is 4.5 inches.
does it has secondary camera
Yes 0.3MP.
Please review this phone.
this is a very nice move by lava and a very good news for windows phone lovers in the budget price range
