I was not really a fan of Indian mobile manufactures because of their lack of attention to the customers and reception problems! But as I see it, things are changing and these manufacturers are getting better especially Micromax and Xolo! For the past couple of months, they released too many smartphones but the one that caught my eye and is I think going to change the game is the Xolo Q1010i!
The specifications are good given the price that is 13k INR! Let's see how it stacks up in different aspects!
DESIGN AND BUILD.
The phone unlike the phones you find in this category feels really good surprisingly!
It consists of a matte finish back with feels smooth and is a real pleasure to hold! On the sides we have metal like looking plastic which is actually better than the ones we see on the Samsung phones!
It is still made of plastic overall but doesn't feel like one!
It is really thin and light weight and has a nice and comfortable grip which lets you go on for a while!
The phone overall has a really great build and i don't think you will have any problem with it!
It is actually I think better looking than it's biggest competitor, Moto G!
DISPLAY.
The Q1010i rocks a 5 inches 720p IPS display with a pixel density of around 294ppi which is not that the best out there but it gets its job done! The glass is actually made up of the one glass solution which results in great touch sensitivity and you can also use it wearing gloves!
Colours look vibrant, viewing angles are great and more importantly outdoor visibility is great and you will have no trouble in reading texts in direct sunlight!
The display is overall decent, not great like the Moto G ( because of the smaller display) but you can't really notice it unless you keep them side by side!
HARDWARE.
The phone consists of almost all the connectivity options including Bluetooth 4.0, USB OTG ( cable comes with the phone in the box ) but it lacks NFC which is not a big deal considering the price.
Internal storage is 8GB which can be expanded up to 32GB via a Micros-SD card.
It is a Dual SIM phone which is a always a welcome feature!
The phone comes with a 2250 mAh battery which can give you a full day on heavy usage!
SOFTWARE.
The phones comes with android 4.2 jellybean and on top of that we have the Xolo's near to stock android skin with some additional applications like Xolo secure and more!
But wait there is some good news here, This phone can be updated to android kitkat which is great and I think Xolo is the first Indian brand to bring it in their phones! This is I think one of the strong points of the phone!
There is more, applications like dialer and camera can be opened without waking it up by just simple gestures!
PERFORMANCE.
Performance is always a concern when it comes to budget devices but this particular device can run anything you throw at it whether it is games or heavy multi-tasking!
Specs include a Mediatek MT6582 Quad-core 1.3 GHz processor assisted with 1GB RAM which is not the best in its class but can run anything as I said! You will absolutely no lags, just install all the apps on the SD card!
The phone was surprisingly able to run games like Modern Combat 4, GTA vice city and basically any game in the play store!
CAMERA.
At last we are here, Camera! I think this is the most important and the most exciting aspect of this phone!
It consists of a 8MP autofocus shooter with a single LED flash! The exciting part is actually in the sensor used that is the Sony Exmor R Sensor which is fantastic!
The camera on this phone as expected takes great photos in daylight as well as low light, thanks to the sensor! Colours are accurate and perfect!
There are a lot of extra features for you to play with like HDR, Vertical and Horizontal panorama and much more! But you forgot something, this phone can be updated to KitKat that will allow you to use the Google camera!
TO SUM UP..
Xolo Q1010i is a great phone which you can also get at 11.5k through a local retailer! The camera and all other features are great and I think you should go for it! Moto G is ahead in performance but not that much!
