Lava Iris X5 with 5MP Front Camera Launched at Rs 8,649: 10 best Selfie-Focused Smartphone Rivals To Consider

Lava is one of those few Indian names that are expected to make it big this year. Sure the smartphone market is all filled with the likes of Samsung, Apple and Sony, but the Indian handset makers aren't doing that shabbily either.

Lava, last month, started teasing its selfie-focused smartphone over the Internet and now the company has finally launched the handset. The new phone has been tagged Lava Iris X5, and is currently selling at the price of Rs. 8,649.

The handset is primarily a selfie-focused smartphone and is looking to take on all other in the market that are also looking to tap into the trend. Going through the specs of it once more, the new Lava Iris X5 sports a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS display offering a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

The handset is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, coupled with 1GB RAM and runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat). The latest offering from Lava comes with an advanced imaging capability. It uses a high end 8MP rear camera with OmniVision BSI sensor, 5p lens, f/2.2 aperture and Dual LED Flash and a very apt selfie-centric front facing shooter with 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash, 4 Element Lens, Wide Viewing Angle (84 Degrees).

The device houses 8GB of on-board memory, but it is expandable up to 32GB via microSD card. Connectivity options include 3G HSPA+, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and obviously it is a Dual SIM (Normal SIM + micro SIM) smartphone with a dual standby mode. The Iris X5 that measures 7.9mm thick and weighs 135 grams is fueled by a 2100 mAh battery.

But while the specs seem good enough for the handset, what are its most important rivals in the market at the moment? We take a look at the 10 best selfie-focused smartphones that will rival this handset.
