NEW DELHI: Home-bred mobile maker Lava Tuesday expanded its ‘iris Fuel’ series of high power battery smartphones with the launch of Iris Fuel 60 and priced it at Rs 8,888.

The device comes equipped with 4000 mAh battery that offers up to 32 hours of talk time on 2G. The phone is also equipped with a quick charge technology that restricts the charging time to 3 hours 15 minutes, the company said in a statement.

The phone also boasts of a solder-less manufacturing technology where each component is connected to PCBA via connectors, unlike conventional smartphones where manual soldering is used, resulting in lesser defects and makes it easier for service engineers in case of any fault.

On the specification front, the device is powered by 1.3 GHz Quad Core Cortex A7 and 1GB RAM. It comes with 8 GB memory and runs Android KitKat 4.4.

The phone will be upgraded to Android L via FOTA (firmware over the air) in future. The device is also equipped with a variety of gesture-driven features that makes it user friendly.

The smartphone features a 5-inch HD IPS Display with full lamination and 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution offering a rich and sharp display.
