The Lava Iris Win1 Windows Phone 8.1 handset nailed down at an extremely affordable price of Rs 4999, is the second such device to hit the Indian market within a fortnight. This phone is slated to go on sale starting from today exclusively through Flipkart, according to what the manufacturer has revealed.

The Lava Iris Win1 carries a pretty modest list of specifications that begins with a 4-inch 480 x 800 pixel display and a 1.2GHz quad core Snapdragon processor.
