Sony Xperia M2 is available in Indian market for around 20,000 Rupees(approx $330). The point is, does it worth the price? If you look at the specs, it looks like just another smartphone with Quadcore processor and 1GB RAM. It has the exact same chipset as Moto G and Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 and lot others. In terms of GPU it has same GPU that Xperia M possesses, a phone that is available for around half of this phone’s price. I don’t even know what’s so great about that chipset. It’s very inferior especially its GPU compared to Power VR SGX series and Mali 450. Even Xperia SP has better chipset than this phone and it’s available for much cheaper price than this.

Lava Iris 406q Review
Lava Iris 406Q is one of those smartphones that anyone could miss easily. Not because it is small in size but because it is made b Lava. Not a well known company in India. Even its price is less than most of the phones available with similar specs. There is no phone literally available below 7,000 Rupees in the market which has 1GB of RAM and Quadcore Cortex A7 processor with Adreno 302GPU, Snapdragon chipset. The specs of this phone looks to good to be true, but they are. It is not perfect though, it has some flaws, like its camera. I am going tell you about all of that and more in this review.
Lava Iris 406Q is a very small phone in terms of dimensions. But it is not all small in terms of performance. Which is a very good thing looking at the price point of this phone. It performed well in benchmarks. For some reason, Antutu device info shows that this phone has Adreno 305 GPU, it doesn’t though. It has Adreno 302 GPU. Maybe Adreno 302 is new for the benchmark to recognize or maybe it is very similar to the Adreno 305 in architecture. That’s why Antutu got confused and couldn’t differentiate between the two. You can see for yourself in the screenshots of benchmarks below.

Lava Iris 406Q. I bet only a few would’ve heard about this phone. It’s a shame though. It’s a phone that everyone should know of. If you are thinking why? Don’t worry, i am here to tell you why. First let me tell you about it specs, it has got a 4 inch display, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset which has a combination of Quadcore Cortex A7 processor and Adreno 302 GPU. 5 MP rear facing camera with LED flash, VGA front camera. These are some of the specs that people mostly care about when they buy a phone.
Htc desire 310 left a lot of things to desire. It’s like Htc has taken the name literally. There’s not a lot to write about this phone. As it has no special features, actually apart from its price it has nothing that i can call special. I thought it’s special because this phone might have been the first from Htc to have 1GB RAM with a really affordable price. But i am proven wrong. Thanks snapdeal partially for that. They stated specs wrong in their description of the phone. As a result of that i am stuck with a phone with 512MB RAM.
Htc desire 310 is a very average phone, everything about it shouts average, from its processor to its camera. But in the benchmark tests it performed a little above than average or you can also say a little better than what you would expect from a phone under this price range. Some of the benchmark tests like T-rex test of geekbench test didn’t even start. The reason it stated for not being able to run the test was not the weak CPU or GPU but its lack of RAM. As this phone has only 512MB RAM which acts as a bottleneck for demanding games and benchmark tests.
Htc Desire 310 Unboxed
When i first saw this phone and its price online, i was pretty excited. I was thinking, finally HTC has made an affordable budget phone worth checking out. Unlike its previous budget offerings HTC Wildfire. This phone has most of the things right, a 1.3 Ghz quadcore processor (Cortex A7), a dual core GPU (Mali 400MP2), Mediatek MTK 6582 chipset. 5 Megapixel camera although without flash but with full HD recording, 2,000 mAh battery. All of that and HTC build quality for only rupees 11,000 Rupees, approx $182. So then, what’s the problem? Well the problem is not exactly HTC’s here but still it’s a problem.
