Two new Lava smartphones, the Iris 348
(see above) and Iris 349 Sleek, have
been silently launched in India priced at
Rs. 3,099 and Rs. 2,999 respectively.
Both the new Lava smartphones are now
listed on the company site .
While there are no official availability
details for the Lava Iris 348 and Lava
Iris 349 Sleek , we expect the company
will announce them in the coming days.
Both the Lava Iris 348 and Iris 349 Slee
feature nearly identical specifications
such as a 3.5-inch HVGA (320x480
pixels) TFT display; single-core
processor clocked at 1GHz; 256MB of
RAM; 512MB of inbuilt storage, and
expandable storage via microSD card (u
to 32GB). Both smartphones sport a 2-
megapixel rear camera with LED flash
while also housing a 0.3-megapixel fron
camera.
Unfortunately, both the dual-SIM based
Iris 348 and Iris 349 Sleek (see below)
handsets don't support 3G connectivity.
Some of the specifications differ, with th
Lava Iris 348 running Android 4.4 KitKat
and the Iris 349 Sleek running the dated
Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The Iris 348
packs an 1100mAh battery that is rated
to deliver up to 8 hours of talk time. The
Iris 349 Sleek, on the other hand,
features 1300mAh battery rated to delive
up to 11 hours of talk time. The Iris 348
measures 116x61.6x11.3mm while the
Iris 349 Sleek measures
117x61.6x11.9mm.
Lava last month launched its Iris Alfa L
smartphone with Android 5.0 Lollipop,
priced at Rs. 8,000.
The dual-SIM based smartphone feature
a 5.5-inch qHD (540x960 pixels)
resolution IPS display with 16.7 million
colour gamut and a pixel density of
around 200ppi. Under-the-hood, it
houses a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek
processor clubbed with 1GB of RAM. It
equips 8GB of inbuilt storage, which is
expandable via microSD card (up to
32GB).
