Features, Performance, and Reviews for the Lava Iris 503 4GB

The camera function of Lava Iris 503 4GB

The "Lava Iris 503 4GB" has a 15.0MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution. You may be a little dissatisfied with it in some situations, for example when you want to capture scenery in very high resolution or print out beautiful photos, but this should not be an issue you run into very often.

Additionally, the "Lava Iris 503 4GB" has a 3.0MP pixel front camera, which is not a very good performance. Image quality can be quite grainy, so while it might be okay for profile photos on Twitter or Facebook, if you're taking selfies or want to print out your photos, you'll probably feel the camera's limitations.

The battery performance of Lava Iris 503 4GB

The "Lava Iris 503 4GB"'s battery capacity is 2000.0mAh, a standard level for these types of phones. Compared to other smartphones, the "Lava Iris 503 4GB" has a standard battery life. It should not be a problem for normal use. However, if you spend a lot of time online or playing games, you may find the battery life a bit dissatisfying.

Lava Iris 503 4GB 's size

The "Lava Iris 503 4GB" is 73.3mm wide, 143.2mm tall, and 10.5mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "Lava Iris 503 4GB", it weighs about 175.0g. It feels a little heavy when held with one hand. It may tire your hand out if you operate it for too long a time.

In giving an overall rating to the "Lava Iris 503 4GB", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

Lava Iris 503 4GB 's screen

The "Lava Iris 503 4GB" has a 5.0inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The screen quality of the "Lava Iris 503 4GB" is such that images and videos can occasionally be somewhat blurry. For general usage however, it's largely not a problem.

The CPU performance of Lava Iris 503 4GB

The processing performance of the "Lava Iris 503 4GB" is quite low at 1.0GHz×2(2.0-cores), and you may find minor issues even while browsing the internet or Twitter.

The "Lava Iris 503 4GB" only has 512.0MB of RAM, which is fairly low. The RAM is regularly insufficient, so operation gets unstable and jerky even when using apps that are not resource intensive.

In rating the "Lava Iris 503 4GB"'s overall operational speed, it ranks at the low end of smartphones. It will lag and feel sluggish even during normal use. In most cases, users will feel the performance to be lacking.

Lava Iris 503 4GB 's storage capacity

The "Lava Iris 503 4GB" has 4.0GB of data storage. This is fine if you mainly use email or social media sites, but if you plan to take photos and videos or play games, you should buy an upgrade.

Overall assessment of Lava Iris 503 4GB

The "Lava Iris 503 4GB"'s performance level is that of a budget smartphone. It's a bit too weak to use as a main smartphone, so if possible you should consider something slightly more powerful. However, it should be sufficient for people that only want to use the most basic functions, like making calls and browsing the internet, and for people that don't really use smartphones much.
