The Xolo X1000 was announced in a quick 15 minute presentation at its event in Goa yesterday. The smartphone will be available on store shelves from March 21, though is already up for pre-order on Flipkart. We managed to get some hands-on time with Xolo X1000 at the event.
Let us get the biggest disappointment of the smartphone out of the way. In a day when flagship smartphones are launched running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean straight out of the box, the X1000 runs on the age old Android 4.0 ICS. But the smartphone will receive the Jelly Bean update.
The Xolo X1000 runs on a single-core 2GHz Intel Atom Z2480 processor (based on the Medfield design) with Hyper-Threading (implying two threads), and a PowerVR SGX540 (400MHz) GPU, coupled with 1GB of RAM. It also boasts of a 4.7-inch 1280x720 pixel ‘2.5 D’ edge-to-edge curved glass display (with a single glass), with a pixel density of 312 ppi.
Other specifications of the Xolo X1000 include an 8MP rear camera with a 15fps burst mode. A front-facing 1.3MP camera is also onboard. The camera can also shoot full HD video at 30 frames per second. In terms of storage, the X1000 offers 8GB of onboard storage, along with a microSD card slot for expansion (up to 32GB). It has a 1,900mAh battery that is rated to deliver 9.5 hours of talk time and 14 days of standby time.
