Price and Conclusion
Lava has done a good work with the Iris Pro 20 by packing decent specifications in an attractive package priced at Rs 13,999. But, these days even the domestic vendors have started employing highly capable specifications for their offerings despite pricing them low in order to gain from the booming industry. Hence, it would have been great if Lava had incorporated a HD display and an enhanced front-facer in its offering. Still, the Iris Pro 20 is a decent smartphone for those who like to own a performing handset at budget price points.
