Comparisons Featuring Lava Iris 505
Short Review
- The Lava Iris 505 features a simple design with dimensions of 149.6 x 75 x 9.5 mm and a weight that feels manageable.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, allowing for decent photography, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 2000 mAh battery supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated and may not support newer applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Lava Iris 505 is a basic smartphone with essential features but limited capabilities in terms of performance and software updates.
- Its build quality and design are functional, catering to users seeking straightforward functionality.
