A price of Rs. 12,499 has been pinned to the Xolo Q800, marking the arrival of a low-budget quad core device from the brand. The company seems to be entering newer territory, seeing as it has laid the foundation of its QCore series with this launch.
The phone will be the second quad core processor-fueled smartphone in recent times to be sold in India at a retail value standing below Rs. 15,000, the first being the Micromax Canvas HD. The latter was at the center of attention when it was unveiled on account of it integrating a Cortex A7 CPU and yet being made available for Rs. 13,999. So here’s to a tough tussle for buyers between the two.
A 4.5-inch IPS touchscreen display has been drilled onto the front panel of the phone in question and it is capable of spewing pictures and videos at a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, something which may be a bit of a downer when compared to that of the Canvas HD. Optimizing the handset for the latest version of Jelly Bean can be counted as one of the plus points since Android fans would hardly like to settle for anything older, no matter the tag attached to the device.
The additional highlights of the phone take into account dual cameras – 8MP rear-facing and 1.2MP front-mounted- each packing a BSI sensor. With the embedded 2,100mAh battery, 2G and 3G users could enjoy talk time of up to 16 hours or 10 hours, respectively. When left on standby, the gadget should survive for around 360 hours on either of the networks.
The Xolo Q800 can be found on Flipkart as of now. So anyone who is enticed by the prospect of owning a low-budget quad core smartphone can head straight to the online shopping outlet. And also, the company has clearly stated its intentions to launch additional devices from the QCore series by next quarter.
