Comparisons Featuring Lava Iris X8
Short Review
- The Lava Iris X8 features a compact design with dimensions of 143.4 x 71 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 160g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by an octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU paired with 1GB or 2GB of RAM, depending on the storage variant, ensuring adequate multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 8 MP, capable of capturing video, while the 3 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
- The device is powered by a 2500 mAh battery, which does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) with an upgrade option to 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is relatively dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The phone is available in black and white colors, but does not feature water resistance.
- Overall, the Lava Iris X8 provides essential smartphone functionalities without advanced features.
- It is suitable for users seeking a straightforward device for basic tasks.
