Lava Iris 408e quietly listed for Rs 3,829

Lava continues to expand its portfolio with a new budget Dual-SIM smartphone – Iris 408e. The Lava Iris 408e is listed at Saholic website for Rs 3,829. The Iris 408e has a 4-inch touchscreen display and is powered by a single-core 1 GHz mobile processor.


Lava’s new budget Iris 408e has a 4-inch TFT LCD display with 480×800 pixel resolution. The smartphone is powered by a single-core 1 GHz mobile processor coupled with 256 MB RAM and offers 512 MB on-board storage with a memory slot. We do not know why but believe mostly for the hardware constraints, the Iris 408e comes preloaded with age old Android 2.3 Gingerbread update. Not that, it is totally unusable but the users may not be able to enjoy all modern apps.

At the back is a 3 megapixel camera with LED Flash and there is a 0.3 megapixel camera in the front. The rear camera offers Digital Zoom and can record VGA quality video. For connectivity, the maximum available luxury is a 2G network support and there is no WiFi either.

The Iris 408e supports dual-SIM and offers Dual-Standby feature as well. Lava has added 1500 mAh battery to promise about 5 hours of talk time. This is a no frills version of dual-SIM smartphone for those who simply want an Android device.
