XOLO 1000


A few days ago we reported that the “fastest smartphone ever” was going to be announced on March 14, and surprisingly, weren’t talking about the Samsung Galaxy S4. Xolo, a sub-brand of Lava Mobiles International, decided to pick the same day as the launch of the Samsung flagship to release its latest Android smartphone powered by Intel. At the launch event in Goa, the company announced the Xolo X1000, further expanding its lineup of Intel-powered smartphones.

Here’s a quick look at the specifications of the Xolo X1000 -

4.7-inch curved glass display with 1280×720 resolution
2 Ghz Intel Atom Z2480 processor, with Hyper Threading
PowerVR SGX540 GPU
1GB RAM
8GB internal storage, expandable via microSD up to 32GB
8MP rear camera with single LED flash, 1.3MP front camera
1900 mAh battery
Dual-SIM support
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, upgradable to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Earlier rumors suggested that the Xolo X1000 would feature the latest Intel Clover Trail+ processor, but instead is powered by one based on the one-generation old Medfield platform. Also surprisingly, the device comes with Android 4.0 ICS on-board, even though there are a lot of smartphones from local manufacturers that feature JB out of the box. In fact, two smartphones from Xolo itself feature Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on-board.

Apart from being the first smartphone to be powered by a 2Ghz Intel processor, truly impressive is the 4.7-inch 720p LCD display. The 2.5D edge-to-edge glass comes with a slight curve and is made using “single glass solution,” for an enhanced viewing experience. Of course, it isn’t the 1080p displays we’ve come to expect from our high-end smartphones, but these specifications fall right in place with the mid-range devices it’s hoping to compete with.

The Xolo X1000 is available from online retailers Flipkart for Rs 19,999 (~$385) here. That price point is at least Rs 5,000 (~$100) more than some budget-friendly quad-core Android smartphones in the country, like the Micromax A116 Canvas HD, so the Xolo X1000 is definitely going to be a tough sell. That being said, the device does boast some great specifications and a beautiful design, and will be a good choice.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
