The first thing you’ll notice about the Xolo
Q900s is how light it is. At just 100g, it
feels like a lot of phones do before you’ve
put the battery in them. It’s also
surprisingly thin - much more so than the
Nokias we’re used to seeing.
This is a very good-looking phone, and it
feels great in the hand too. Xolo’s recent
launches have been consistent in this
regard, and anyone who considers Indian
branded phones ugly and cheap should
give this device a second look. That said,
the company still bundles low-quality
accessories including the charger and
USB cable.
At the heart of the Q900s is a relatively
poky Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 SoC
with four cores running at 1.2GHz and
Adreno 302 graphics. There’s 1GB of
RAM and 8GB of internal storage space.
MicroSD cards of up to 32GB are
supported. The 4.7-inch screen has a
resolution of 720x1280. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
and GPS are of course supported. There’s
an 8-megapixel camera on the rear and a
2-megapixel one on the front.
These specifications seem well balanced
for a phone that costs just a hair under Rs.
10, 000. We’re a little worried that
1800mAh is too little for a battery, but the
rest of it should do nicely.
