Performance
Under the hood, the Lava Iris X1 runs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, backed by a Broadcom BCM23550 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU. While not designed for heavy multitasking or demanding gaming, the phone handles everyday tasks such as browsing, texting, and social media quite capably. The 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage, expandable via microSDHC, reflect the limitations of its time, suitable for essential apps and media storage, but likely to fill up quickly.
