Xolo launches Q600 in India, quad-core dual-SIM for $150
Xolo has introduced its latest Android smartphone and has even made it available for pre-order. The quad-core Xolo Q600 is up for grabs now for the price of just INR8,999 INR or about $150.
The Xolo Q600 has dual-SIM support with dual stand-by and sports a 4.5" FWVGA (854 x 480) display resulting in around 217 ppi. A quad-core Mediatek 6589M chipset with four Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1.2 GHz and a PowerVR SGX544 graphics chip do the heavy lifting inside. There's a puzzlingly low 512 MB of RAM, a 5 MP back camera with a single LED flash and a 0.3 MP (VGA) front-facing one. On-board storage is limited to 4GB but there's a microSD card slot for expanding it.
Nicely surprising for a device with such low price tag, the OS of choice is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and the Xolo Q600 comes with a built-in security app for tracking the device remotely and a Swype-ready keyboard. An FM radio receiver, Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n complete the tally. The whole package is powered by a 2000 mAh battery.
Xolo has begun taking pre-orders but there's no word on when the device will be shipping to customers.
