The Iris 450 Colour runs on rather older Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box.  Under its hood, the device is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core processor coupled with 512 RAM. As far as the camera is concerned, this latest Lava Android smartphone boasts of a 5MP snapper at the back along with LED flash and a 0.3MP camera on the front.

The internal storage capacity of the phone has been listed as 4GB which can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot. The connectivity options include 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Lastly, the company packs in a Li Ion 1800mAh battery that promises to deliver talk time of over 9 hours on 2G and around 8 hours on 3G.
