The Xolo Q1000 is another MediaTek powered quad core handset with 5 inch HD screen with 8MP camera and running on Jelly Bean 4.2 OS. This handset will compete with MMX A116 and is priced a little higher than A116 for Rs. 12,299.
Box Pack
The box contains the Q1000, screen guard, battery of 2100 mAh capacity, earphone, travel charger, data cable, warranty and user guide. The specs are clearly mentioned on the box it is with MT6589 chipset coupled with PowerVR SGX 544 GPU.
Design, OS and Display
The handset is slightly smaller than the Micromax A116 model. The screen is a bit darker and thickness is 8.8mm. The weight is about 151 grams. The 8MP camera glass is a bit out on the rear side, just like on the A116. The handset looks good, comfortable to hold and has got that premium look.
The 3.5mm jack and micro USB port is on the top side, power button on the right and volume rockers on the left side. There is an extra button that can be used to launch the camera application and can also function as the camera button when using the camera app.
There are 3 back-lit touch buttons on the front panel and the rear side is plain white with glossy finish. This handset runs on the Jelly Bean 4.2.1 OS.
The screen is 5 inches IPS with dragon trail glass supporting resolution of 1280×720 pixels. The viewing angle is good and the color reproduction is slightly better than as seen on MMX A116 model. The handset comes with light, accelerometer and proximity sensors.
Memory and Storage
Xolo Q1000 comes with 1GB RAM and 4GB internal storage. Of the 1GB RAM, 649MB is available. Of 4GB internal storage, 0.91GB is available for apps and 1.8GB as phone storage. Unfortunately you cannot install / move apps to external storage. But that is not a big issue probably XOLO will come out with the update just like Micromax did for its A116 model.
Performance and Benchmark
It is with the same hardware that we have seen on many other handsets. MediaTek’s MT6589 with SGX 544 MP GPU.
Benchmark
- Quadrant Benchmark : 4001.
- Anututu Benchmark : 13159.
- Nenamark2 : 43.7fps.
- Vellamo : HTML5 = 1492, Metal = 451.
- Multi Touch : 5 point.
8MP Camera with BSI sensors
The 8MP still and video quality seems better than the MMX A116. You can check the sample images and videos. There are some images shot using A116 for your comparison. Full HD video recording is possible.
Entertainment
Download MX player and you will be able to view lag free full HD videos. The sound is loud and clear.
Others
3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth worked well. The in call speaker and the loud speaker volume is loud and clear. It is dual SIM handset and both the SIM’s support 3G. I got the GPS fix in less than 15 seconds. The Q1000 does not support OTG.
Gaming
Game play will be as smooth as seen on the A116 and other MT6589 handset, however since you cannot install apps on external storage you get limited space and bigger games like Nova 3 will not work. You can check the Game play video at the end of this article.
Battery
The 2100 mAh battery with my initial test run seems good enough to last for over a day with moderate usage.
Xolo Q1000 review
It will be a tough choice deciding between the Micromax A116 and the Xolo Q1000. Micromax had recently upgraded the A116 OS to 4.2 and also enabled the SD card access so users can install apps on external storage. The Q1000 lacks this feature and you are left with the limited internal storage space. As for the camera quality and the color reproduction the Q1000 is a little better. But when you look at the price Q1000 is for Rs. 12,299 and the MMX A116 is now selling for Rs. 13,850.

Among Xolo q800, q1000 and canvas HD a116….. which one gives best music clarity(earphone)?????
XOLO Q800 GPS was almost useless because of its inoccuracy (in terms of few 100s meters) and all-time fix time riliability issues. It has similar issues with mobile data connectivity, it doesnt stay connected.
Is it the same with Q1000? or is it inherant with MediaTec chipsets?
Hello Sir,
Of late I came across Xolo Q1000 & wammy Passion Z plus handset. Both of brilliant features but lacks after sales service. I have learned from sources that Xolo Q1000 has abandoned Dragon Trail Glass-2 in order to reduce price of hand set. Is it true? Does Xolo has any plans of introducing Xolo Q2200 in near future?
Gogi bro. I think it has apps to instal sd option. I bhoght this phone 10 days back and yesterday i got an sd card which i inserted in my q1000 and in storage option there is a optiont came default wright disk phone storage and sd card.pls confirm
hello sir… i confused between these two phones “intex aqua i5 and Xolo Q1000” can u suggest which is one is best. I do lot of calling and internet use. Also, needs a good camera in the phone.
Intex aqua i5 comes with 512 MB RAM and Xolo Q1000 with 1 GB..
Better to get Xolo Q1000..
Well GOgi bro I had a query regarding the material of the glass which is used in the phone and I called the xolo customer care , the executive was so dumb he did not know anything about the product, he was saying that the phone has Gorilla glass , well can you atleast confirm whether it is really a dragon trail glass, coz even in the website it isnot mentioned anywhere.and one more thing I got the phone for 11800/- is it worth the price.
Raju, the screen is scratch resistant (limited protection not as strong as Gorilla), but in the box pack they are giving a screen guard too. Its better to use the screen guard on Q1000.
I am regular visitor to your site for the last 6 months, and this being the first clarifications tell loads abt the clarity and correctness of the information in this site – great job
Getting to my clarification, its stated here to have PowerVR SGX 544MP, while in Xolo site, it only states PowerVR SGX 544. For heavy gaming user can you advise the difference in these two and whether Xolo is playing another trick similar to q800
Sir, your review says that it has dragon trail glass. But, features/specifications of this phone shown on xolo’s website do not mention about this important feature. Does it actually have this feature?
Hi to All,
I purchased XOLO Q1000 for Rs:13900/- from local store. Its performance seems to be too good and look wise its very beautiful, slim body and great Battery backup.Touching experience is very responsive and awesome.
Only requesting from all behalf to Gogi sir, let us know when any update from XOLO comes so that one can move apps to sdcard. Also asking sir for web link so as to root XOLO Q1000 with 100% working.
Is it really that apps can not be moved in sdcard in Q1000. Users of Q1000 pls confirm.
Yes, It is Possible to change default storage in Xolo Q1000 running Android v4.2.1 ….
I have personally done this and Loaded many hd Games…
Gangstar Vegas which has 2.5GB data files runs smoothly on Q1000….
Hd Games running to lagi hang
What I do to run my q1000 hd games smud and no lag
use framaroot to root xolo q1000 100% working
Hi Gogi sir… i confused between these phones, can u suggest which is one is best. I do lot of calling and internet use. Also, needs a good camera in the phone.
1. Micromax Canvas hd
2. Xolo Q1000
I had also used Micromax Canvas HD. But according to me Xolo Q1000 has much smooth performance and very good looking mobile. You can definitely go for Xolo Q1000
Dear Gogi, I’m very much interested in getting a budget (rather they’ve more features than the popular makes) smart phone.But I’m confused about the model/make to be purchased after gone thro’ the reviews. I wanted to know which one is better in these three;ie.,mmx a116 canvas hd or xolo Q1000 or zen 701 hd. I don’t mind of meeting the difference of 2or3Ks.
In very particular the camera should be good enough as I’m more interested in photography.I thought of going for Q1000, after glancing your sample shots & considering the life of the Battery;but in your review you’ve mentioned in cons that “Q1000 has No magnetic sensor & particularly,cannot store apps on external storage and the price is a bit on the higher side.what is the purpose of having a magnetic sensor in the mobile? why q1000 cannot keep the apps in external storage?” Please kindly let Me (other readers also) Know which one is good to have in average/overall features and performances in the above mentioned 3 sets.Rather Please give us a confident to own a smart mobile.
Please reply as early as possible.
Bought Q1000 today from snapdeal for 9792, don’t know whether its pricing error or genuine sale.
Gogi….I am gettting xoloq1000 @ 12K? what do u think its a good deal?
Xolo Q1000 is priced at Rs. 14,000 and the features of this phone are good for its price.More features are 32GB expandable memory, 4GB internal memory, 2,100mAh battery, Eight megapixels rear facing camera, 1.3 megapixels front facing camera, Quad core 1.2 GHz processor and many more.
dear xolo Q 1000
Plz tell me is there any application through which games & apps can b downloaded directly into the sd card??
Some benchmark app shows that Q1000 has 3 axis magnetic field sensor but still digital compass doesn’t work. Why?
Hello people please let me know how to use compass on xolo q1000
After waiting for any good launch, and disappointed with MMX bakwas strategies, finally booked Q1000 @ Amazon.in for 12799/- sold by Paragon Telelinks, Mumbai and Fulfilled by amazon.
Lets see if it has dragon trail glass or not!
Dear Rocky,
Please share your experience with this mobile when you get it and also about the service of it.
Hi
How to check for the dragon trail glass. Any idea??? I jus got my q1000 and not sure hie to check as it z not mentioned on the box.
Sam
Got the Phone, must say Very good VFM phone, very slim profile and fantastic edge to edge dispay, everything is good . about service, one can only experience it in case of any issue right?
Coming to Dragon Trail Glass, i’m not sure either how to test it, but i had optimus2x before and that had Gorilla Glass, in Q1000 i feel its not any hardened glass llike DragonTrail, it looks similar to any other normal covering on other similar budget quadcore mobiles. q1000 is the same Oem one launched in Philippines as Omega HD2 , and it has DragonTrail glass and 13MP shooter. So, Guess indian version (Q1000) is without DT glass and 8MP. I think q1000 never came with DT glass to india, thats why it has been quickly removed from officail xolo site.
please friend.. reply that apps installation in sd card is possible or not… in this q1000,. please reply as soon as possible..
Hello Sir..
I want to confirm whether this device comes with a dragon trail glass or not?
Can u compare Nxg proton and micromax a116 HD and xolo plz I feel Nxg is under rated company products are great so is request to plz do Nxg proton phablet review
@Ravi – Are you from NXG? Ain’t you?
I mentioned in my earlier comment that xolo will remove the dragon trail glass and reduce the price at any time!!!!! Just as I am typing this comment , the official web page has removed dragon trail glass from the features of this phone !!!!!!
So will the price be reduced xolo team?
Hi Gogi,
Whats the difference between MT6589M & MT6589W-M chipsets. i found that Xolo Q700 using MT6589M & Xolo Q800 using MT6589W-M on both boxes when visited one of the srores at Hyderabad.
Sridhar, you can check here http://www.gogi.in/mt6589m-mt6589-mt6589t.html
gogi didn’t mention anything about SAR Value of this xolo q1000.
Gogi could you please tell me the exact SAR Value of this phone. anyone with the exact answer and source is much appreciated.
also for me network is sometimes getting disconnected, say the point is coming to 3 or 4. signal drops at times. any solution guys?
It is not mentioned. There is just a logo on the box that says SAR safe.
Gogi,
do you know how to check the sar value of this phone?? any idea? appreciated..
Hi no, but the phones are well under 1.6 sar limit.
AS per reviews Phone Ringing volume and call volume are low. is it true? planning to buy.
everything is perfect!! am the user of xolo q1000. you will not regret after buying..!! worth for money and just check about the signal drops.. i get signal drops at times.
will any application from play store make the otg work ? i saw a app otg helper in play store to mount and unmount.. plz test it once give info about it..
Hi Gogi,
Nice 5 star review . I am in confusion, I have sorted out 4 mobiles and not able to finalize.
Requirement is problem free(less problems), performance, camera quality and service
I am adding list of phones with issues(As per my knowledge).
1. Galaxy grand- lagging and heat issue, Battery backup
2. Galaxy Quattro – heating issue and camera is only 5Mp
3. Canvas HD- battery backup is poor , network issues, poor service
4. XOLO Q1000- s/w updates from company(Apps to SD), poor Service
Please suggest me best out of it. My budget is max 18000 Rs
I bought Xolo q1000 the service is not poor its very good in Jalandhar my phone came with a defect to me after two days I went to service centre and they replaced it and gave me a new mobile no one will give a new mobile..
All xolo phones come with 7 days replacement warranty. But most of us don’t know this.
even micromax also replacing within 7 days here
AS per user reviews Phone Ringing volume and call volume are low. is it true?
do you get any signal drops ??
I just bought Q1000 last week. And believe you me, it’s a premium look device with gr8 performance. I am loving it every bit. Ring volume is sufficient. Only one challenge… no flip cover available….neither with box nor in market. I recommend this device strongly.
is anyone using black color xolo q1000? post the photos!! gogi any idea about black colour??
Classic mob ,no lags ,no heating issue and good camera quality
I own black xolo q1000 for last 10 days.
I don’t know why Xolo launched black q1000 soo late(it was made available on sale on 19th june I.e after 25 days from launch ) but as compared to the reviews given after using white q1000 i felt totally this phone totally awesome..
1.Touch is too good as compared to my friends grand quatrro and MMX canvas hd as their’s lagged after installing some apps.
2.I played temple run (1,2 and oz) + subway surfers for 5 hours daily , hear music for 2-3hrs continuously and used internet on WiFi for whats app,saavn and browsing for 2-3 hrs on a single battery charge but battery lasted for more then 1 day.
3.People say that earphones are simple ones but the one I got is too good compared to my frnds…first I felt them simple but when I switched equalizer on they were awesome…
4.Xolo should have provided a flip cover is my only regret.
I now felt that black one might be the improved version of d phone.
More pros are that camera is good too only lags in clicking pics while moving. no signal drops and signal quality is too good. Only speaker for calls has low volume.
Gogiji,
How much you are confident about the update from xolo for apps transfer to SD card? I wrote to xolo but no response. This is a crucial and my purchase of this phone depends on the solution.
Please do reply
Hi though they do have the OTA update option. But not sure if and when they will roll out the update to enabled apps to be saved on the SD card.
Camera quality is superb one of the best feature is defocusing the background and giving more detail to the photo which is like DSLR camera.
my mobile heats up even 2 minutes of camera usage..is it normal?
If you are outdoor in the sun, yes it gets heated up a lot but indoor it should be warm.
I bought thus phone and am pretty much happy about it. See brother, I’ve GTA vice city installed on my phone, the problem is not with the performance but in the storage. I’m allowed to take only 2 mins of video on my phone with the left space. And, I’ve 8GB card installed on my SD port. The thing is, Videos are not being recorded on my external SD card but rather it is being in my internal.. I’ve searched all over the settings.. There is no option to change my storage.. Please help
try this
Go to Settings–>Under Device u will find the storage option–>Click on it—>Now u will find two options- Default Write Disk i)Phone Storage ii)SD Card–>Click on SD Card.
Now click a photo—>go to file browser–>select sd card 1–>go to DCIM–>Click on the camera folder..u will find the recently clicked photo.

Thats a pretty awesome price that you got …good one for posting it bro!! I am sure it will a lot of help for many!!!
I bought this handset last week. It is available for less than 14K in Delhi from a lot of local dealers. I bought it for even less as the distributor is by friend. I am currently using a Galaxy S2. I bought this for my wife. I had purchased a Zen Mobile 701 hd a month back but returned it as it had defects on screen and also for build quality.
So i will compare it with the Zen Ultro 701 HD, which was for 11,999/-
Build quality : Much much better with a premium feel. Nice brushed aluminium edge bezel with a chrome liner. Solid feel. The Zen had a flimsy feel and the volume rocker conked off in a day. The Zen had a rubbery back, but this has a smooth plastic back. However, in the interest of safety to avoid it slipping, they could have given an etched or patterned back. Very nice capacitive buttons on the front
Weight & Dimensions : Extremely narrow side bezels. Very thin compared to the Zen HD. Lighter also at around 150 gms. Solid to hold
Display : Very Very good. The Zen HD looked very faded. This is bright and sharp.
Sound : Here is the only area where the Xolo lags. The ringer volume is very low, and when the phone is placed on any surface, the ring is almost inaudible, as the speaker is at the back and gets blocked.
Performance : Since both of the phones have the same chipset and specs, i dont see any difference in performance. Both phones have nearly stock android interface.
The XOLO is worth the extra money over the Zen 701 HD
okay guys I’ve been using this phone for 2 days and its too sweet..
BUT, after purchasing, I noticed the “SAR SAFE” icon and subsequently researched on the topic. One of the reason these handsets are cheaper than sony or lg or samsung or any other such brand is that companies like xolo, micromax and the like manufacture handsets with relatively high SAR value (depends on the hardware design), but still within the prescribed limits.
P.S. SAR is harmful for the living being.
mr.gogi sir… i want to buy a smart phone under 18k. i m confused with galaxy,micromax canvas HD a116,xolo Q1000 . price is not a problem but plss suggest me phone
Listed on Indiantimes shopping with 15 percent discount on map 14890 I.e. For 12656.5 in as father’s day special.
http://shopping.indiatimes.com/mobiles/xolo/xolo-q1000-white-/41839/p_B1882138
Will it be a good bet for this price? Is this site reliable?
Sir
The camera of this phone is bit buggy..Switching to video mode makes the object much closer..not good for recording for nearby objects..i think the default zoom in video mode is not set properly.. Now pulling my hairs for this stupid purchase..potential buyers be aware as its not a device specific issue
Ravish, its the same on all mediatek quad core handsets.
Switching to video mode makes objects closer & video darker. Is this a problem or is it same for all Q1000. Also can I not permanently set the camera settings to +1 exposure & High Sharpness, Low Saturation & High Brightness. Everytime I close & start camera the settings are reset to original. ALL THIS APART SUPER AMAZING FONE. I have a Grand & camera images are sometimes better in this. Internet & fone speed good, never hangs or heats, is responsive. Help for my issue 🙁
Hi, check Micromax Facebook page….
Their cover photo is changed…
Per-booking of Canvas4 starts from 28th june
Hi Gogi,
I am confused between canvas hd 116 & xolo q 1000. Important things for me are
1) good call quality & sound
2) Good touch display. i mean touch sensitivity.
3) Good screen colour & quality.
price not an issue and i am ok with the camera quality for both.
one more question does q 1000 has the option of clicking photo while recording.
Thanks
without gyroscope, we can’t play riptide n temple run or what ??
These small brands lacks only because of their service centre. Xolo care has very slow service. and takes more days to repair.
Hi gogi,
How does lack of magnetometer and gyroscope affect the performance of a phone?
Q1000 so Mitch phone I am very impractical phone my no 9460616786
Thanks for a wonderful review of xoloQ1000. A quick question if we are spending around RS. 15000 so should we go for other leading brand like samsung, sony , lg or motorola than Xolo?
Yo, gogi bro cn u tell me the difference between the dragon trail glass used in xolo q1k and the scratch resistant glass used in mmx canvas hd
Both are scratch resitant. They are not as strong as gorilla glass. But good enough with some resistance.
Dragontrail glass is better than gorilla glass 2.
Dragontrail glass is six times harder than the normal soda-lime glass while the Gorilla Glass 2 is five times harder. Dragontrail glass supports 60kg of pressure while Gorilla Glass 2 supports 55kg of pressure.
Pressure is measured in Pascals and mass is measured in kilograms…
Corning has unveiled Gorilla glass 3 which is harder and stronger than Dragontrail glass
can we directly install & move apps & games to MicroSD card in Celkon 119Q phone?
Is this method is suggestable ?
\howtogeek.com/114667/how-to-install-android-apps-to-the-sd-card-by-default-move-almost-any-app-to-the-sd-card/
Hello Gogi , I want to purchase mobile below mention pls suggest me which one is batter if price is same.
1. Xolo q1000
2. Celkon A119Q
3. Canvas A116 HD
4. Zen ultraphone 701
I got this product from flipkart when I see the settings there is no developer option in the setting what is the reason behind this please help me
Reply
sir,u are emphasing on the inability of this phone to move apps to ext sd.but what about the mmx hd??is it possible in that phone??
hey gogi how to upgrade to 4.2 JB on mmx a116 hd and how to move apps to external storage please reply.
Hi Sir,
Thanks for the review
Is there a chance that by using some custom rom we can move apps to sd? What about Gps lock? Does it establish gps connection quickly? I use gps a lot. I’m impressed by its features and planning to get it. How good is battery life? Can you do a comparison with zoppo zp980. I dont believe in chinese brands but zp980 looks good..
The power button stopped working on the second day of use. Had to pay 400bucks to get it repaired from a mobile repair shop( rooted it so the warranty was void).
hi, how is basic phone features like signal reception, voice clarity, volume, cal conference, mic, etc.,
Don’t u know how to unroot…………..
for unrooting u have to either have the mobile turned on or the usb debugging on. I didnt have both. As the power button was broken*DUH*
unroot using subusybox uninstaller….
Is is right that Q1000 doesn’t have magnetometer and gyroscope. How does it affect the performance of the phone?
Dear Gogi
Is there any chance that we can see NFC featured budget phone from companies like Micromax / Xolo etc. ?
Manish, it will take some time.
Hi Gogi, in the review video the phone shows 3-axis magnetic sensor, then why is that compass is not working?
Rocky, if you have checked other reviews we have seen the same on other models too. The benchmark tools are not that correct when it comes to detecting sensors so the best way is to test the main ones.
Does this phone has google’s photosphere ? sir
omg what a surprise? Just a day before, i requested for a review of Q1000 and here it is yesterday :D… i know its a co-incidence, but anyways Thanx Gogi :).. a great review as always.
I decided to go for this handset as i m getting it for Rs.13,600 at local dealer as i thought that its much better than Canvas HD. But after watching this review and a quick comparison, i feel that its equally good as Canvas HD.
Gogi a query please… are the black levels more deep on its screen as compared to Canvas HD? Which is ur take…X800 or X1000 (price and screen size doesnt concern)… please reply…
Amit, the back borders are there on A116 too not easily visible on black colour handset. Just go for the price and the extra stuff you may be getting, like I heard MMX A116 is giving a flip cover free. The Q series are better and cheaper than the X series.
Hey gogi is there any xolo x800 model available?
Thanks for ur reply, Gogi. But i was talking abt black levels on display (for eg. Amoled screen has deepest black levels) so which has deep blacks: xolo q1000 or Canvas HD? 🙂
Q1000 screen is little darker than A116.
Dear Gogi Rana, Darker in the sense, its bit more blackish dull or much brighter, richer and clear
Please check the video review, you can see the colour difference on A116 / Q1000.
Gogiji,
They have not mentioned about dragon glass on the box.
That means they can at any time reduce the price and remove dragon glass if they really supply at all.Remember Q800 again.
I do not understand why the company behaves like this. If there is dragon glass then it is a good spec. Why they omit to print on the box?
With the flip cover inside the MMX 116 box, this agains makes a tie between Q1000 and Canvas HD.
Other than the common features, this is the difference
Q1000: better camera quality, 8.8 mm,
avlbl @ 12,800 on ebay
Canvas HD: Flip cover, External storage upd available, LED notification
available @ 13,500
I am using this phone Gionee E3 for about 10 days now. This phone has a fantastic retina display i will rate it 9/10.
The phone has not given me any problem and the sound quality is 7/10. Its very clear but not very loud. The bundled head phones are also very good much better than the galaxy grand duos that i already have. However i found the volume a bit low during the call but again its very clear. I haven’t missed any call so far.
This phone also has a good camera. It takes good pictures but they look a bit dull with acceptable noise. Low light shot have noise but are not bad than what the competition offers.But it images are much better than MMX HD . I will rate it 7/10.
The build quality is excellent. What i like is the finishing of the handset and the slim profile. I will rate it 8/10.
I haven’t tried playing heavy games but regular games run smooth.The phone does heat up a bit but this is common with mediatek Soc.
Over all i will rate it 7.5/10.
Whoever has seen this phone have complemented it display and smooth UI.
Hope this review helps you before Gogi Ji reviews It
Gigiji,
Firstly thanks for the helpful review.
Can you please tell, due to lack of gyro sensor what will be impact on gaming. Waiting for in depth gaming review 🙂
Raj, in many games you use the tilt i.e. left tilt and right tilt to control the subject with gyro you get two more dimensions forward and backward tilt. There are few games that use Gyro.
Dear Gogi,wat is rooting? is recovery in CWM/TWRP necessary for q800? wat happens after rooting? does it ends warranty?
plz tell me about dis.
hey gogi!
can u tell how do we know whether a handset has app2sd features so as to download high end games on your sd card!??
hi Gogi I saw a you tube video where info has been given saying game running from SD CARD can you kindly advise what does this mean. Can games be installed on SD CARD? I am buying this mobile today, but your review says no apps can be store in SD CARD.. so very very limited applications/games can be used on this. Is my understanding correct.
below is the YouTube link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPDQToIa9qs
Raghavendra, yes you cannot move / install apps on external storage. But the internal storage has space of about 1.7GB which is more than sufficient for many users. Now it really depends on the game size for example I cannot install Nova 3 game that will easily work on this handset because the download size itself is 1.8GB. Now the link you have given the Max Payne game is 1.3GB and hence you can install and play this game. With limited space it means that when you are out of space you will need to remove the older games / apps that you are not using. Again it depends on your usage.
Thank you very much, So the SD CARD helps only to store music and Videos and we need to go with Class 10 SD Card to capture 1080p videos …….but just need to know if I buy this phone now will there be any hope (options) for me to load games and applications on to SD card later, with a new version of android update or 3rd party software. Also like to know MMX canvas HD we can install games on SD CARD. but video recording in MMX is only 720p, And if I Configure Mails (POP3) will that be store in SD CARD or Internal memory.
Raghavendra, on Q1000 the SD card will be only for storing images / video / music or any of your personal data. Class 4 is more than enough but if you can afford higher class go for it.
Gogi Rana, Is Class 4 good for 1080p video recording
Does not matter class 4 or higher minimum class 4 is needed though. But better if you can buy higher class for future use.
Thank you very much, I am very much impressed planning to buy this, but how’s is its performance like simple phone in terms, like signal reception, signal strength, in call voice clarity , mic, because all crazy about my 1st android phone will reduce after 1 month of purchase we start using this phone mainly for calls, and max check mails.
Right now I am using nokia 6233
Hi Gogi Just got this lovely handset on Friday its awesome, display mind boggling, need few tips from you as this is my first android phone.
1. What are basic Apps should i need to install i have already installed , skype, whatups, facebook, I need Caller location, means from which area the person is calling (not state and service provider True caller did not serve my purpose), and any apps for increasing sound,and battery, mobile tracker or some thing if the mobile gets lost, need games like asphalt 6 suggest few free ones.
2. Battery took around 4 hrs plus for charging 6% to 80-84% and it took around 5 -8 min from 85-86% to 100% why is this i have charged battery completely2 times while draining it upto 6% it draing very fast from 100% to 85% in less than 7-8 min while just using or operating mobile later its normal.
3. Need tips about Cam it takes few seconds to focus and get clarity and when i take the pic the photo is not of same clarity as seen while focusing, and when i move the cam the images and motion are not clear,
4. 2g is very very slow it opens only Google.com page even in Airtel showroom Bangalore, play store takes more than 10 min and just stops, need to check 3G, is there any setting which i need to change,
5. how to assign ring tones to individual groups,
Many more clarification need will keep in touch with you.
Raghavendra,
1. Well depend on your usage, you can install many apps. The basic apps are preloaded. As for caller location there are some apps that say so but do not perform, they only give the state / provider number that too using the mobile number. I don’t think there will be any such app cause of privacy concern. Moreover the telecom industry will not want to share the location details with these apps.
2. Did you charge the handset using PC? Try wall charge and make sure the 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth is off. Don’t worry about fast drain, just use the handset and re-charge only when the battery drains off completely. Don’t look for the drain look for how many hours you get on a full charge.
3. Yes that is normal with all handsets, it takes sometime the get the focus. It is a bit faster if you tap the screen to focus. When video shooting make sure to tap the screen at times to get the right focus as Auto focus takes some time.
4. Yes 2G is slow its network related they want you to buy 3G plan. Moreover you need a better connection on Android cause it’s like a mini computer and a lot of data is moved around / downloaded. A 1GB 3G plan will cost you under Rs. 300 and should last for 30 days.
5. I am not sure about the ringtone assignment, I did not find any option, but you can assign different ringtones for each contact, you can also group your contacts. But Group contact ringtone option is not there. Probably an app from Google Play will help you out.
Thank you very much… I Will disturb you with doubts again after few more days of usage.
Raghavendra, no issues so far.
Its 10 days since I am using this phone, 2 of my friends have also purchased this, over all its good one, But I am not able to find flip cover (white color) for this in Bangalore its available in black color on website but they say its for A1000 is it compatible kindly advise. the main issue is the camera slightly projects out. so when kept down the cam will get scratches….:(
Hi I find E, 3G, H, H+ items fluctuating next to the signal bar, while I am using AIRCEL 3G plan some time its very slow some times its decent speed, both sitting in my room, and all E, 3G, h, H+ are not constant, and when I have 3G plan of 250 MB (used only 40 MB till now) still my balance is deducted while using internet, kindly advise…
Hi Gopi,
There are sources on the internet which allow installing/moving apps to the SD card on any android devices(4.0 or later). One such link is below.
howtogeek.com/114667/how-to-install-android-apps-to-the-sd-card-by-default-move-almost-any-app-to-the-sd-card/
Could you please confirm if this solves the issue most budget handsets face wrt to the internal memory. Waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Prashant
Not possible without rooting.
Is warranty Void if rooting is done. is it advisable for a non-techie….
not advisable raghavendra…!
Gogi ji,
Do u know any thing abt the status of XOLO T1000? Is there even a phone coming by that name having tegra 3 processor?
I think one of the most important features of Q1000 is Dragon Trail Glass displace which is six time tougher than ordinary glass display and is scratch resistance. I am surprised why Mr. Gogi has not made a mention about this feature in his review.
Liked the new format..Ratings, pros, cons ..etc.. keep up the good work
Purchased XOLO Q1000 a week before at a price of Rs. 13,200, and trust me Mr. Gogi I have been using it almost 20 Hrs each day and the performance of the phone is at par with any of the other High-end phones like GS3 or Xperia Series. Trust me on this count there is a Xperia Z in my family and I have no doubts left in my mind that these so called premium companies are just fishing huge profits selling phones at such high prices when compared to the quality and features they provide.
A 5 star from my side for XOLO Q1000. I won’t hesitate a bit suggesting this phone to anyone. Just in love with it.
Apoorv, I agree 🙂 these low cost handsets are giving tough competition to big brands.
Dear Gogi,
Please help me i have bought xolo x910 last week and their is same problem of moving apps to external sd can it will be fixed through any update or any other way because i want to play hd games….
Thanks
Rohit, you will either need to root it or see if Xolo can provide an OS update.
Thanks Gogi, Can you please tell any software to root this phone easily.
Visit to XDA forum or Use Google for it. You will definitely get what you want. 🙂
Thanks Yogesh for your advice!!
Apoorv, I have been using Xolo q800 for last 2 months, and i agree with most of your points. However i would like to let you know that the charging port of my q800 has gone bad, it is not connecting and if i have a close look at the port it is damaged. Now i have send emails, SMS etc to care@xolo.in and the given phone number, and no body replied. So please use with your phone with a lot of care and beaware of the (No)service of Xolo.
hi Apoorv, Am planning for this mobile, just few clarifications before buying, how is the Signal Reception?, how about Call Conference, Call Recording?, how is the voice clarity, any voice breaking in Calls?, How is the display in outdoor sunlight, how is wifi, how is internet browsing speed thru 2G and 3G,
Brother, Signal reception are rock solid, I havn’t tried on Call conferencing. As other Android phone this one too doesn’t have inbuilt call recording facility, but yes Google Play is there to serve you the purpose. Display quality no doubt is at par with Xperia Z viz. better than GS3 and sunlight sonditions too don’t affect a lot. WiFi works surprisingly well and 2G speed is good as well. Haven’t tested 3G as yet. Thanx. Feel free for any query
Hi Apoorv, Purchased this mobile on Friday, its very good, but my 2G speed is very very slow, i was trying to surf even in airtel Showroom its slow, only google page opens and nothing else, 🙁 need to try it with 3G, Some times it says gallery not responding not sure why this happened it has happen 3 times today till yesterday no issue,
Brother 2G reception does not depend on whether you are in a showroom of the same xompany but depends upon the transponder signal availability. Furthermore do check that whether an E is displayed or G. If it is G then it is not surprizing to see a slow speed. For the issue of galary not responding just do a hard reset which will remove the bugs that might have installed themselves during quality test. Hope this helps you.
Dear Apoorv Gupta, Iam very much surprised to that you have puchased Q1000 for Rs. 13,200/-. Which part of India are you living? Is it Hyderabad. If yes, let me know the shop address.
Because my choice fixed with two phones at present.
1. Xolo Q1000 or 2. Alcatel One Touch Scribe HD (5 inch, 1.2 Quad core).
The 2nd one cost is 3-4K higher than the 1st model and also the processor platform is on ARM cortex A5 and not on cortex A7 like Xolo Q1000. But it comes with 3 years warranty.
So, bit confused on which one I can settle finally.
Request is, if Mr. Gogi can review Alcatel One Touch Scribe HD phone, it will of great source of information to later decide on the final device for purchase.
Regards
go for Xolo q1000 without thinking anything. yo money wil worth .
same future but micromax is good company.
Mr Gogi plz clear this out, can I transfer the installed app to micro SD card, as right now I’m using Xolo Q800 an awesome set which has the feature of moving apps to SD card via settings-storage-preferred install location… Can I move my apps from phone memory to normal micro SD card???? Plz clear this.. Nice review.
Talking about Xolo Q1000, sorry for this, I didn’t mentioned about it on my previous post, I wanna know that can I transfer apps from phone to SD card in Xolo 1000..
Gogi please help me m Totally confused between ‘xolo q1000’ & ‘zen 701’ ,as one of user get xolo on ebay @ 12,800/.
So ignoring the price which is good in order to-
1.back Camera
2.sound loudness
3.build quality (sturdy & robust)
4.and you said colour reproduction is better than canvas but it also better than zenHD?
(P.S. – sir, pls pls pls pls answer me pointwise I JUST LIKE YOUR THAT STYLE)
Gogi Sir, your new addition of Editors rating. pros & cons helps fans like us to decide which phone to buy more easily………..
Gogi bro M a regular reader of ur blogs, but 1 thing me wana coment is that “U ALWAYS SHOW SOME INCLINATION TOWARDS MMX”, weather it was CANVAS 2 or CANVAS HD, ur reviews r excellent but u always put MMX an arms length ahead, I didn’t mean to point at u but I post vat I feel. SORRY IF M WRONG AND DONT MIND PLS:)
It is with same hardware and priced around the same as compared to A116. It will not make sense comparing it with qualcomm processor or a matter of fact with Apple iphone.. will it?
i bought this mobile.. in system info its showing 5 sensors but u have mentioned only 3 sensors only
1.bma222 3-axis accelerometer
2.tmd2771 proximity sensor
3.tmd2771 light sensor
4.BMM050 Orientation sensor
5.BMM050 3-axis magnetic field sensor..
if its available on ebay for 12.2k then its a good buy.
but those who wants better after sales service and development support ,they should go for canvas hd .
i dont think xolo will get more custom roms than mmx .
canvas hd is already having lewa,miui rom, and unofficial cm10.1 is in progress.
but m eagerly waiting for jiayu g4
i dont know why chinese companies just announce phone and not launching even after 10 months of announcement.
will the missing gyroscope make any difference sir..which app/game uses a lot of gyro?
Hi gogi.. I compared my canvas HD wit Q1000 in a shop.. Display s equal in colour reproduction,, both d mobiles were looking great… my cell is running on A919i duo HD 4.2 rom.. Display is far better Dan official MMX 4.2 rom..
Hi Gogi,
Then SAR value of this phone seem to be very high, doesnt it?
For MMX 116 HD it is around 0.4W/kg I guess
The exact SAR value is not mentioned it just says < 1.6.
Hii Gogi Bro, After continuously being on your site for 9 months I have just now ordered Celkon Signature HD A119Q from snapdeal (promo code: A119Q+) for Rs.11250/-. Sorry I did not wait for your review. but what do you think is it a good buy? is it good for gaming? waiting for your view…. still not verified the order code which I have received.
Nikhil, all these handsets come with same hardware and with tweaked OS. 11,250 is a very good buy. Do let us know your review once you get it.
Thanx for your quick reply (within 5 mins). I will surely share my review once I get it.
Thanks Nikhil for providing the promo code A119Q . I have placed an order forCelkon Signature HD A119Q from snapdeal.. Thanks its really a great deal.. 🙂
Hi Mr. Gogi, First of all I would like to thank you for the updates that you give in regards to Mobile.
Now I want your suggestion in making an important decision, please suggest me best phone (according to you),Android is my preference under INR 10000.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks again for the updates. Appreciate it…
Hi Gogi,
Thanks a lot for reviewing this phone sooner than other people. I really like your review as they are detail and category oriented. The phone seems to be good in terms of camera quality and form factor however I am not sure how XOLO’s after service will perform. Another thing, the phone doesn’t have gyro sensor. Do you think it will be a big impact on playing games(in future maybe)?
Eagerly waiting for your response.
Sunny, Xolo is a part of Lava company, I am not sure about after sales but it really depends on user experience with the concerned center, it may not be the same all over India.
Gogiji….i am also eagirly waiting for E3 review.there seems to be lot of good reviews regarding gionee E3 display panel as well as sound quality.
Hi sachin,
Regards Gogi ji,
I am using this phone Gionee E3 for about 10 days now. This phone has a fantastic retina display i will rate it 9/10.
The phone has not given me any problem and the sound quality is 7/10. Its very clear but not very loud. The bundled head phones are also very good much better than the galaxy grand duos that i already have. However i found the volume a bit low during the call but again its very clear. I haven’t missed any call so far.
This phone also has a good camera. It takes good pictures but they look a bit dull with acceptable noise. Low light shot have noise but are not bad than what the competition offers.But it images are much better than MMX HD . I will rate it 7/10.
The build quality is excellent. What i like is the finishing of the handset and the slim profile. I will rate it 8/10.
Whoever has seen this phone have complemented it display and
I haven’t tried playing heavy games but regular games run smooth.
Over all i will rate it 7.5/10.
Hope this user review helps you.
Thanks tejas, how is the battery life….Is the 1800mAh enough?
Hi sachin,
Battery life is great if you have medium usage. i had a charge of 24 % till midnight. If you are into gaming then this battery wont last you long you will need a charge by evening.
For 4.7 screen 1800mah is enough but not desirable. Cant expect everything at this price.
gogi ji…stars,sliders,pros&cons,rating i love’em…new format is great…how is xolo q1000’s color reproduction compared to wammy z?..and wammy z’s interpolated 12MP can compete with authentic 8MP of XOLO Q1000..pls clarify..
one last thing….
(i don’t know why my request for “comparitive chart” was deleted…)
Hi I did not find any difference in the screen on Zopo, UMI, Zen, Wammy and this Q1000. MMX A116 reproduction is clearly visible. Your previous comments are live, refresh the page in case you find it missing.
thanks..gogi ji..
Sir how is sound quality and loudness compared to mmx a116 canvas hd.
Also can i move apps to sd card if i use class 10 micro sd card??
Thanks for the review I am getting both at a same price in local store and the limitation currently is no flip cover or any other cover available..
Hello, Great review!!
I would love to know what is your opinion on comparisson of Zen 701 HD vs the Q1000 with respect to
1. Screen
2. Main Camera
3. Build quality
4. Sensors
Which would be a better buy NOT considering the price
And a last question is which has better after sales service Xolo or Zen?
Zen 701HD is cheaper, same hardware and camera quality is as good. There is no magnetic sensor but there is LED notification. Look wise the Q1000 is better but price wise 701.
Thank you for prompt reply!
Guess giving a call on after sales would be difficult for Indian companies..
P.S. Sorry for double post.. my 1st post didn’t seem to display at first.
Hello, Great review!!
I would love to know what is your opinion on the Camera and Screen comparisson of Zen 701 HD vs the Q1000
And a last question is which has better after sales service Xolo or Zen?
Could you please let me know which one is better to Xolo Q1000 or Wammy Passion Z?
Dear gogi ji
Which one better for battery back up and camera ?
Xolo Q1000. Or zopo zp980
Is zopo zp980 available now?
Hmm…if only had they added the Magnetic Sensor.
Hi gogi,
I am planning to buy a mobile under 15k which is quadcore. I have come down to 3 options
1) Spice Mi-535 Stellar Pinnacle Pro
2) zen ultraphone 701hd
3) zen ultraphone 701hd
The Specs are good but the Price is higher. If It has MT6589T The Price is good to buy.
Please review the Gionee Elife E3.i am waiting for your review,and compare with Mmx A116 HD and Xolo Q1000.That lot helpful to us.
Thank you
Ramesh Kumar
Hi Gogi,
I have bought a Gionee Elife E3 from a retailer here in kerala for 13800..
The biggest thing you can do now is to review this phone because even my brothers Galaxy S3 is nowhere around its display and form factor..
Its better than my friends micromax in all aspects..
Please gogi ji coz it will help other people in finding their right choice..
Hi Athul,
I have a question. Does your mobile get heated up quickly?
Particularly below the camera ? Here quickly means after using the
set for gaming/video watching for 10 minutes.
Please do reply.
Ya, but i think its common with all smartphones with Mediatek SOC and i compare it with Micromax A116 of my friend and i can say that it is well optimised than Micromax A116..
So heating is not to the level in A116 and one thing, I am a big Micromax Mobiles so i will not say you misleading things about Micromax..
Hi athul,
Hows the battery performance of E3 , Does it last for a day considering that it is 1800 mah?
Pls reply in battery life in terms of ur usage
gogi sir plz review gionee elife e3 its really very good handset in that price bracket…..review it gogi
Gogi, There is one more con,
No in-build GPS, it has only assisted GPS, I was highly disappointed by this, apart from that I liked the phone very much, battery life is also good, even if 3G or wifi is on
Bhaskar, no its not assisted GPS, tap the GPS Satellite and enable EPO (and in EPO enable auto download) and A-GPS to get a faster lock. The accuracy is 12 to 15 feet.
Gogiji,
In that case, can I install third party software like ulyses to find the position
without using the network data charges?
Of course for that I have to stand under the open sky.
And see the impact of your review!!!within few minutes people start sending comments !!!!Thanks for all your efforts and time.
Yes, you can data access is needed for maps and at times to get a faster lock.
Hi Gogi,
Thank you for the EPO tip! you rock man!
Thx
Dear Gogi sir,
How to Root karbonn A21 ?pls tell me.Awaiting your guidance.
Hey Sir eit what app can i Root my Lemon P7 android phone??z4root not working ….
I checked in 3/4 shops in pune and the lowest offer I got is 13,600/- only protection cover is the issue for me which will not easily available in the market due to new brand of model in the market.
Hi Santosh,
Which shops u visited? Can u provide me the address of shops selling lava or xolo mobiles in pune?
You can visit any Telephone Shoppe branches. Also Deccan Mobiles at Garware bridge in Deccan Gymkhana has stock.
Hi Gogi……After this review its quite clear that at this point of time MMX a116 is again clear winner among all other mobiles of same range. what you say gogi?
I am following your blog from 1.5yrs and since the a116 was launched and you reviewed I have noticed that no other mobile has got better review and points than a116 (Considering same price bracket)
What you suggest shall we wait more for better options to come or simply go ahead with mmx. Your response is very valuable gogi
Akshay, you can go ahead with MMX some users have mentioned that they got the Xolo Q1000 for under 13K if you can get it for that then Q1000 is better. The Q1000 is little better but price wise MMX A116 is the winner and for many the difference is negligible. So go for the one that you can get for a cheaper price.
Dear Gogi
It’s better if you compare this model with A110 q,because it’s pretty good in terms of display, image clarity and MIchthyology faster even in sunlight you can easily see the contains which all lack in A116.
I request you have a look on A110 q.
Regards
Santosh Shirke, Pune.
How would you rate the look of the phone compared to A116. Does the Q1000 give a premium feel with good finishing?
Now MMS A116 comes with Flip cover. This is also one of the advantage as per the price point of view.
Gogi… I am getting a116 @ 12800. Shall I go ahead with it or go for Q1000 @ 13.5 k
Gogi,
how about reviewing Gionee E3, if you do the review of Gionee E3 it would be good for users to choose among these quad core smartphones. I see Igyaan & fonearena did their reviews on gionee E3. waiting for your review soon..
I like the new review format.
Its available in INR 12882.
http://www.ebay.in/itm/XOLO-Q1000-1-2GHz-Quad-Core-Processor-Android-v4-2-8MP-Camera-5-TouchScreen-/190851434098.
In your review xolo q1000 ,you ommited dragon trail glass,why?
Mihir, yes sorry have added it, though its not mentioned on the box pack.
Thanks but did you tested dragon trail glass?pl.answer because it is a must for me and I impressed by dragon trail.
A scratch test with a pin – it is scratch resistant.
Gogi, is canvas HD’s screen scratch resistant too ? Is it sodaline in A116?
Gogi When will you review xolo x910 plzz , many people are requesting same thing.
Yes Gogi,
There isn’t any review available for xolo x910,
Please share it earliest…
Gogiji,
I see narrow black strip all around the display at 3:59 in your video.
Just like UMI X2 had !!!!
Hi every handset has that border on the X2 prototype the border was uneven at the bottom.
Got it for 12.2K from ebay and its way better than MMX a116 or another HD display phone out in marked.
@ sims 3G compatible along with scratch resistant glass is really big advantage …
Hi that’s a good price if you get it at that then its 100% good buy. MMX A116 is also with scratch resistant glass. But picture quality and camera as mentioned in the review (you can check the images too) is better on Q1000.
Does it has LED notification ?
Hi no LED notification.
LED Notification issue can be overcome by using ButtonLED 1.6 (ButtonLED.1.6.HDPI_JB.apk) from XDA-Developers Website. Yes, rooting is required but it works perfectly. When activated, ButtonLED Glows Navigation Buttons (Menu, Home & Back Key) whenever there is any missed activity. Its very very handy for devices without the default Notification LED.
I had ordered Xolo Q1000 from flipkart.com and I got the mobile yesterday now I wanted to buy a flip cover for my Q1000, please do the needful and provide me the details on how to buy a lip cover for my mobile.
Regards
Ferhan
buy the xolo a1000 flip cover as both mobiles look same in size
gogi what do u thing Zen HD is better than canvas HD tell bro I m cunfussed I m also add one thing I m gaming user kya Zen ki gaming performance canvas HD se better hai
Vinod, same hardware and price is less.
Gogiji,
Nice review.
Little bit disappointed with Q1000 when I compare it with old version Q800.
Can you review Gionee E3 as it has something more than Q1000.
Particularly SD transfer abd DTS sound
Looks good but price is on the higher side @gogi Sir can you pl. tell which is best quad core phone under 15 K leaving aside Q800 and mmx A116 pl. tell which one is best A110Q zen or any other I am an avid gamer.
Check Gionee E3 !!!
I am also seriously thinking about it.
I have good impression of xolo and there are A700 and Q800 with my family.
But latest development on Q800 and the review of Q1000 has disappointed me.
Go for Q800 if you are avid gamer. you should mainly check for Nenamark2 benchmarks for better graphics
I was gonna go for Q800 but now as the chipset is degraded I dropped the idea now I am thinking of Q1000 or A110Q or any other new mobile
