Another handset by XOLO Mobiles has been silently launched it is the XOLO 8X-1000i. This smartphone is powered by octa core processor and is running Hive UI based on Kitkat. This handset supports 3G networks and is priced at ₹6,999.
The XOLO 8X-1000i is using MediaTek MT6592M octa core chipset clocked at 1.4GHz. It is a dual SIM handset that supports 3G but does not support the 4G networks – which is the latest trend. 8X-1000i sports a 5 inch screen protected with Dragontrail Glass and supporting 1280 x 720 pixels resolution.
Hive UI based on Android 4.4.2 sails out of the box with 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and 32GB external micro SD card support. There is an 8MP primary camera using EXMOR R sensor on the back with LED flash and front facing camera is of 2MP resolution.
Key features are 3G, 2G, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. The 2000 mAh Li-ion battery that this handset houses gives up to 11 hours of talk time on a single charge.
Specs and looks are great for its price except its battery
Already listed since November on Snapdeal with a price tag of 6,999.
whats the difference between this and old 8x-1000?????
Xolo believes in quantities of junk mobiles launching,rather than quality….
Smartphone is pricey for a 3g only variant.
The launch date of this phone should had been 01/01/2015 not 2016. Its old fashion toy!!! Leave it guys!!!
This was launched almost 2 years ago with the price tag of 11900.?
How do these manufactures make money with such a launch given that black series is online only and not sold in retail stores? For same price, already redmi 2 prime, yuphoria & meizu m2 are present and all are quite successful with better features than this. What is the point of this?
Nobody wants phone without 4g now a days.
Not bad for price
Almost two and half year old mtk 6592 chipset.
Yes and also with kitkat what a joke, I think they forgot to launched it in 2014 or early 2015 …(^o^)
Only two segments left in the market now one is china leaders like MI, MEIZU, LENOVO, and in other segment samsung, LG, sony, htc etc are doing business. Karbonn, xolo, lava, iball etc are out of flavour now.
Yes it is now an uphill task for Indian companies to sell their mobiles.
You forgot MMX and Yu which is Indian brand also rocks and don’t blame xolo. I used xolo black and it pretty good.
Xolo is a good company but they have not positioned themselves anywhere. they need to employ a different approach.
1. dont overflood the market with 15 different handset. (keep things simple like Xiaomi) have flagship, mid-high, mid end thats it.
2. update your software for bugs and improvement like Oxygen OS.
3. updates should come 3-4 times a year.
they have already got their own flavor of android with HIVE built on it.
