Lava has just announced a new handset for India with the Lava Iris X1 Atom S. It is another device in the ever expanding X lineup, and the Lava Iris X1 Atom S price puts it in squarely in the mid range sector. The Lava Iris X1 Atom S is the follow-up to a device of the same name that was released earlier this year sans the S. That extra digit generally means an upgrade, but that’s not the case with the X1 Atom S as it is a slightly dumbed down version of the previous handset.

The comparison to the Lava Iris X1 Atom that came before it, the Lava Iris X1 Atom S has a weaker processor and slightly smaller battery.
