LAVA introduces midrange Iris Pro 20 smartphone

New Delhi's LAVA has just outed its new Iris Pro 20 smartphone, which fits a 4.7" screen in a slender 7.7mm body that weighs in at just 112 grams.

The Iris Pro 20 comes in behind the company's recently-launched Iris Pro 30 flagship, which sports largely the same specs with the notable difference that its 4.7-inch screen sports 720p resolution, while the Iris Pro 20 manages just qHD (960x540 pixels).Otherwise, the Pro 20 is virtually the same device: a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 4GB of internal storage, 1GB RAM, 2,000mAh battery, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It even comes with the same dual-SIM support as its elder.Unfortunately, the front-facing camera has been downgraded to VGA - likely to cut down on costs - but the 8MP primary camera still comes with dual-LED flash, and should provide largely the same quality.We got a look at the Iris Pro 30 last month, not long after its release, and the device impressed us with its design with the exception of the fingerprint-prone back panel. The software had its share of bugs, and the performance was laggy at times. You can check out our full review here - the Iris Pro 20 should provide largely the same impressions, except for the inferior screen resolution.

HTC Q1 2014 results: net loss, missed revenue forecast

HTC posted unaudited results for the first quarter of this year and the numbers are worse than even the company expected. When HTC announced its Q4 2013 performance, it predicted a revenue of $1.12-1.18 billion for the first quarter of this year.

The unaudited results, however, point to $1.09 billion in revenue and a net loss after taxes of $62 million. This compares poorly to the Q1 results of last year too, then HTC made $1.4 billion in revenue and $2.5 million of profit.

Note that these numbers don't reflect the new HTC One (M8), which launched at the very end of the quarter. The company expects things to pick up now that the One (M8) and Desire 816 (which had agreat reception in China) are available.

March sales did increase, the first month-to-month increase in revenue since October 2011. HTC's forecast for Q2 this year is a net profit, the revenue is expected to drop 20% from what it was for the same period last year.

Nevertheless, HTC stock was up 3.6% before the quarterly results went out, and up 13% this year as a whole.
