XOLO Q500 Mobile Price List in India

XOLO Q500 is another promising release by the well-known brand XOLO. The phone looks pretty good on paper and comes with all the advanced specs expected out of a smartphone in this range. Though it has been successful in creating enough hype because of its 1GB RAM, affordable price and Quad-core processor, but there are areas where it fails to satisfy requirements in certain quarters. To know about its performance, let’s have a look at the reviews below.

Features and specifications

This Quad-core smartphone features dual SIM functionality and runs on Android operating system. It sports a display screen of 4 inch with pixel resolution of 800 x 480. The primary and secondary cameras come handy while it comes to clicking photos and capturing videos. You can yourself experience the performance of its User Interface and the snapdragon processor which enables you to shift between multiple activities and recreational apps to ease the burden of work.

Design and quality

The smartphone with capacitive display screen of 4 inch with WVGA resolution of 800 x 480 pixels that culminates with the decent pixel density of 233 PPI. The display screen is ideal for text reading and watching HD videos. However, one might be disappointed with its viewing angles as it may not be perfect for watching videos in a groups and the colors might not appear to be very rich. It is mainly available in white color and its sides are covered with chrome coated bezel. The front portion accommodates light sensors, proximity and VGA camera. The power button is located on the right side and volume rocker is placed on the left portion of the bezel. There is the metallic logo of the company at the centre of the back panel. The prediction and auto correction work pretty smoothly making it the ideal smartphone for the users who prefer to text always.

OS and Tech

It works on Android v4.1 Jelly Bean operating system which is powered by 1.2 GHZ Quad-core snapdragon processor that makes switching between multitasking and apps a lot more easily. When it arrives to web browsing the smartphone fulfils the expectations. Quad core snapdragon processor maintains the speed of the downloaded webpages and exhibits them without any delay. The phone is loaded with XOLO apps like Trans Pic, Touch Pal Keyboard and Reverie Keyboard. Touch sensitivity of the User Interface is not quite good but otherwise it is smooth and responsive.

Camera and multimedia

The smartphone comes with a rear camera of 5MP supported with auto-focus and LED flash. This camera provides sufficient settings to fine tune the size and quality of the images that are being captured. End users are allowed to select video and audio codec for video capturing. Also, the VGA camera is quite ok for making video calls.  The music player has all the standardized features like equalizer, playlist, repeat and shuffle. It mainly supports formats like mp3, wav, aac and wma. It can record HD videos but it would be of no use as it would lag only after few seconds of running.

Battery and memory

The 1450mAh removable Li-ion battery is not sufficient for moderate to heavy usage even for a single day without further charging. Although, the company claims that its talktime duration is 16 hours and the standby duration is 290 hours but in reality it automatically gets heated and exhausted when you play games. If you want to secure more battery backup you can use XOLO Power to suit your requirements. It embraces internal memory of 4GB that can be expandable till 32GB with the help of micro-SD card.
