Lava Iris Fuel F1 With 4000mAh Battery Launched at Rs. 8,700

Lava has launched the Iris Fuel F1 smartphone, the bigger sibling of its Iris Fuel F1 Mini which was launched last month.

Priced at Rs. 8,700, the Lava Iris Fuel F1 is now listed on the company's site with pricing details. Though, no availability details are available at the time of writing. We can expect the company to announce the launch of the Iris Fuel F1 in the coming days.

The Lava Iris Fuel F1 - like other members of the Iris Fuel series of smartphones - sports a large battery, a 4000mAh battery in this case, which is perhaps the highlight of the device. It will be competing against the likes of the Intex Aqua Power II and the recently unveiled Micromax Canvas Juice 3. The handset will also be up against the Karbonn Aura 9, which features the same battery capacity.


The dual-SIM Lava Iris Fuel F1 runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, and features a 5-inch FWVGA (480x854 pixels) IPS display with 196ppi pixel density. The new Lava smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM.

Sporting an 8-megapixel rear autofocus camera, the Lava Iris Fuel F1 also features a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. It bears 8GB of built-in storage that is expandable via microSD card (32GB). Connectivity options include 3G (HSPA+), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB 2.0, GPS/ A-GPS, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Measuring 141x72x9.5mm, the Iris Fuel F1 weighs 148 grams and is rated to deliver up to 20 days of standby time and up to 30 hours of talk time. It bears an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, and proximity sensor.
