There’s a new teaser trailer out this week for the Xolo Black smartphone being released under the Black sub-brand. The video focuses on the handset’s smudge and stain free design, further confirming that it will be sold exclusively on Flipkart. The company has slowly been letting out details about its upcoming series of affordable 4G phones, and we now have a more concrete idea of what the first looks like.
Only the top half of the back and side edges are visible in the teaser. The dual rear camera setup is present as hinted at earlier. The lenses are placed on either side of its single LED flash unit.
The two lenses of the HTC One M9+ are the most recent example of twin snappers on a phone, but those are placed one on top of the other. We won’t know for sure how the Xolo Black’s placement will affect the pictures it takes until later.
The Xolo phone appears to have a glass panel on the back and a metal frame. It might run the company’s own updated Hive 1.5 UI based on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. The company plans to release a new smartphone under the Black sub-brand every quarter, all supporting 4G LTE and costing between Rs 10000 and Rs 15000. They will only be sold online.
The Xolo Black series smartphones will be the first in its price range to have dual rear cameras. It’s certainly a unique feature, but the specifications have to match the ones offered by other brands for the devices to be a hit in the competitive Indian mid-range marketplace. We’ll have to wait until more information about the phones is announced soon till we get a better idea of what to expect.
