Intel, in association with Lava, has announced the launch of the XOLO X900, the first smartphone with Intel inside. Priced at Rs 22,000, the phone is powered by a 1.6 GHz Atom processor with Hyper Threading technology that is believed to bring speed and multi-tasking performance.
The phone features a 4.03-inch high resolution LCD display and an 8 megapixel camera. The XOLO X900 runs Android 2.3, which is upgradable to Android 4.0.
The XOLO X900 comes with a 400MHz Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) and its 8 megapixel camera can click up to 10 pictures in less than a second.
Lava claims up to 5 hours of 3G browsing, 45 hours of audio and 8 hours of talktime on the XOLO X900. It also supports 1080p HD video recording and playback.
The phone is on sale for customers from April 2012 onwards at Croma stores and at Xolo.in, followed by availability in other retail chains and online stores from May.
For somebody who has played with Samsung and HTC devices, we found XOLO to be super fast, thanks to the Intel processor. Having said that, inserting a SIM card was way too clumsy process and one would have expected a better mechanism to do the same.
Aside, XOLO X900 works with microSIM and the price of XOLO X900 in India is Rs. 22,000.
- More in the coming days, but if you want us to focus on specifics of XOLO/Intel processor, please let us know (in the comment section).
