The Lava Iris X8 looks just like its predecessors, the Iris Pro 30 and Iris Pro 20. However, it has updated internals, a bigger screen, and a much lower price. This phone goes up against some pretty strong contenders in the market and its biggest advantage will be the fact that it isn’t available only through flash sales. Everything is as expected for a 5-inch device with an octa-core Mediatek MT6592 SoC in terms of performance, but in our testing, photos taken with its camera came out surprisingly badly. Battery life was good, so if you can overlook the camera problem, this could be a decent option in the sub-Rs. 10,000 price band.
