Iris X5 4G surfaces, could be Lava's upcoming Android One phone

Over a week after there were reports that Google will soon launch a Lava-manufactured Android One smartphone in India, the local vendor's Iris X5 4G smartphone has appeared in the GFX Benchmark database. This fuels speculations that this is the device that will be unveiled by the search giant.

The listing reveals that the handset is powered by a MediaTek MT6735 SoC with a quad-core 1.3GHz processor and a Mali-T720 GPU, and sports a 4.6-inch 1280 x 720 pixel display. It comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory. In terms of camera, it features a 12MP rear unit and a 7MP front shooter. The device runs Android 5.1 out-of-the-box.

Some of the details like chipset, RAM, and display are quite close to what has already been revealed in earlier reports, so it looks like the Iris X5 4G is the upcoming second-gen Android One smartphone. Whatever the case, we'll get to know soon, as the announcement is expected to happen tomorrow.
