Lava Iris 401

The Lava Iris 401 is an entry-level smartphone released in early 2015, offering a compact design with a comfortable 4-inch display. The TFT screen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels delivers a fairly clear view with a density of about 233 ppi, ideal for everyday use such as light browsing and social media. Although it does not use the latest screen technology, its 5:3 size and ratio provide a comfortable visual experience.

In terms of performance, the Lava Iris 401 runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with 256MB RAM and 512MB internal memory. This capacity is very limited by today's standards but sufficient for users who need basic functions like calls, SMS, and light apps. Dual SIM GSM support also ensures easy connectivity with two operators simultaneously.

For photography needs, this smartphone is equipped with a 3.15 MP rear camera capable of capturing images at standard resolution, adequate for simple documentation. A VGA front camera is also available for basic video calls. There are no advanced camera features, but this fits its class focused on core functions.

Regarding battery life, the Lava Iris 401 uses a removable 1450 mAh Li-Ion battery. This capacity is enough for light use throughout the day, considering the modest hardware specifications. Charging is done via a microUSB 2.0 port, which was standard at the time. Unfortunately, there is no fast charging feature.

On the connectivity side, the Lava Iris 401 supports 2G GSM networks with dual SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi, hotspot, and A-GPS for basic navigation. These features cover the communication and basic internet needs of entry-level smartphone users.

Suitable for: users who need a simple smartphone with a compact screen, basic calling and SMS functions, and dual SIM connectivity for everyday use without high performance or advanced photography demands.
