The budget Android segment is becoming a bit too cluttered with all
Indian manufacturers trying to plug all possible price points between Rs
10,000 and Rs 15,000. However, in this space it is becoming
increasingly difficult to find a differentiator in the Android phones.
Recently, two products caught our attention in this price range — the Lava Iris Pro 30 and Micromax’s Canvas Turbo Mini A200.
The Lava Iris Pro 30 is the first of the company’s new
premium range of smartphones and is priced at Rs 15,499. The Canvas
Turbo Mini A200, on the other hand, is a stripped down version of Canvas
Turbo priced at Rs 14,490.
Here is a face off:
Design
In terms of design, the Lava Iris Pro 30 is undoubtedly
better looking than the Micromax Canvas Turbo Mini A200. The Lava will
remind you of the iPhone 4 and has a smooth, rubberised back panel and a
metallic chrome rim frames the phone which has a rectangular monoblock
design. Micromax Canvas Turbo Mini, like most other Android devices, has
rounded corners and curved edges with a visible camera bump. This is a
plain jane in comparison to the Iris Pro 30.
Common grounds
The two phones have loads of similarities. For starters,
both flaunt 4.7-inch 720p HD displays. The Iris Pro gets an added
advantage of having IPS display constructed using Gorilla Glass
technology coupled with one-glass solution technique. Both smartphones
run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, have 4 GB internal storage and 32 GB micro
SD card slots. Both smartphones offer Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi (802.11
b/g/n) for wireless connectivity. Better location services are promised
with GPS chip. Lava Iris Pro 30 weighs about 114 grams while the
Micromax Canvas Turbo Mini is a shade lighter at 111 grams. Very close
in terms of weight, the difference can be negligible.
Spec to spec
Both are powered by MediaTek processors. The Canvas Turbo
Mini A200 has a quad-core 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6582, while Iris Pro 30 is
powered by a 1.2 GHz MediaTek MT6589 mobile processor.
The Lava Iris Pro 30 has an 8 megapixel backside
illumination image sensor that can record full HD videos at 30 frames
per second. The Canvas Turbo Mini A200 also comes with an 8 megapixel
auto focus camera with HD videos at 30 frames per second. Both have LED
flashes. The Iris Pro 30 has a 3 megapixel camera in the front, while
the Canvas Turbo Mini A200 puts a 5 megapixel wide angle camera in the
front.
Both are dual SIM phones, with Micromax option for normal SIMs and Laval favouring a mix of micro and normal...
