Intel in market has come up with its first Android smartphone with the Lava Xolo X900 is exciting. The smartphone seems to have gotten most of the ingredients right – impressive performance, crisp display, and premium build. The phone is fairly solid and we didn’t really find anything lacking in the fit and finish of the device. It seems that it will be giving good competition to its competitors among whom few are lot more powerful and the reason behind may be because the thing missing for Lava is the brand recall that some of the competitors have.
Price in India :
The Lava Xolo has a box price of Rs 25999, and is retailing in the market for around Rs. 22,000 to 23,000.
The Lava Xolo X900 clearly has the design influences from an Apple iPhone 4 and some of the LG phones. The finish has a generous amount of premium feel to it. The 4.03-inch display has a very thin bezel on the right and left side. On the top are the front-facing camera and the silver coloured earpiece. The front of the phone houses a 4” WSVGA (1024×600) screen which corresponds to about 300ppi.
The screen looks great and touch sensitivity is top notch as expected from a device in this category. A 1.3MP front facing is placed above the screen. Below the display are four touch sensitive keys – return, options, Home and search. Flat sides all around and that is why we say it has the design inspiration from the iPhone. On the left spine is the micro HDMI port. On the right side is the volume rocker, micro SIM card slot that is essentially a slide out tray and a physical camera key.
Features:
Speaking of hardware specifications, it include an Intel Atom Z2460 SoC (codenamed Penwell) that includes a 1.6GHz single core CPU (codenamed Saltwell) with Hyper-Threading, and the PowerVR SGX540 GPU clocked at 400MHz, and 1GB of 32-bit dual channel LPDDR2 memory. The entire platform is codenamed Medfield. The phone has 8MP auto focus camera at the back and 1.3MP front facing camera. The 8MP rear camera does a good job that also takes 10 shots in less than a minute at 15 fps in Burst mode.
As far as the performance goes, the customers will be quite impressed with the overall smoothness of the OS and slick opening of applications. Most of them compare the XOLO X900 with more powerful devices like HTC One X and Sony Xperia S. What you will notice for most benchmark scores is that the HTC One X is obviously the winner, considering it is the first quad-core powered pocket rocket to arrive in the market. However, the Xolo does get better benchmark scores than the 1.5GHz dual core processor powered, and significantly more powerful Sony Xperia S.
The X900 runs on the Atom Z2460 32nm SoC which has a Saltwell core running at a max of 1.6Ghz with 512Kb of L2 cache. The graphics core is a PowerVR SGX 540 running at 400Mhz. All these combined make it a compelling platform capable of competing with modern smartphones running on the Tegra 3 and Qualcomm S4 platforms. 3D gaming performance is also first-class without any imperfection.
Speed: Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor with Hyper-Threading Technology and 1GB RAM makes the XOLO X900 the benchmark in its class. Fast web browsing, responsive apps and effortless multi-tasking makes you enjoy the things you love to do, all in the blink-of-an-eye.
