Customer Reviews 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Compared to both moto e and unite 2, this phone fares well in almost all aspects....If someone searching a gud kitkat phone..i would suggest this...while the moto e and unite 2 both have a 5MP camera, the X1 has an 8MP camera, also it has a better screen resolution than both these phones....all these clubbed with Kitkat and quadcore...make it a meaty offering. By Neeraj

I would recommend every youngster to go for this phone, sleek design, 8 MP with dual LED Flash, 4.5 IPS Display, Quad Core - 1GB RAM with front camera. What else would you expect more in 8K. Seems like all Indian brands have decided to give tough competition to Moto. First it was Micromax with Unite 2 and now Lava has come up with this product. On comparing all the three I think Lava Iris X1 is the best: Vs Moto E - This has a bigger screen, Better Camera, Flash, Front Camera and 100 times better looks
Vs Micromax Unite 2 - Iris X1 has Great looks with a slim design, Better Screen resolution, Better Camera, Dual Flash and comes with Free Flip Cover and Screen Guarf.
I can safely say this phone will be surely liked by value for money seekers as this is a complete package at such low pricing. By Himanshu Sapra

This is what i could make out after going through the features:
Pros 1.2 GHz Quad core processor with 1GB RAM, 8 MP camera with flash, 1800 mAh battery, Large 4.5 inch screen, ANDROID KITKAT 4.4.2
Cons: Colour variants not available. all in all a great deal.. By Tarun Verma
