XOLO Play 8X-1200 Mobile Price in India
There are very few mobile phones in the market having Octa core processor and the Xolo Play 8X-1200 is one of them. The target of the company is specifically the gamers and claims to provide console gaming experience. The price is too high for the device if it has to be specifically developed for giving a powerful gaming experience.
Features and Specifications
The device is powered by strong 2GHz Octa core processor along with 2GB RAM. The internal storage here is 32GB which is too large enough and makes the phone ideal for storing large number of games. The display screen is full IPS of 5-inch large and the OS it runs on is Android v4.4 KitKat. The set supports Dual SIM and it has two cameras. The 13MP rear camera comes with PureCel sensor and dual LED light. The back camera is of 5MP and here again LED flash has been provided along with SBI sensor. The phone has 2300mAh battery and gives USB OTG support feature to hold USB drives. The connectivity features it offers include 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS.
Design and Quality
The 5inch big screen along with resolution of 1920x1080p is an interesting feature for the set. The phone uses OGS technology which makes it thin by reducing the gap between the original panel and the touch screen. The phone comes with 6 sensors along with Gyroscope. The Gyroscope technology particularly helps in optimizing the set for 3D gaming. This technology is not found in regular handsets. The built of the set is quite good having fine well-crafted body lines. The capacitive buttons for the phone are placed at the bottom of the large screen. The phone gives a flattened appearance and no extra ordinary bulging has been observed. The chrome line at the periphery adds in its elegance. The viewing angles of the screen are good and give no brightness shift.
OS and Tech
The phone runs on Android v4.4.2 KitKat with the intention from the company that it will keep on receiving updates in future. The OS is strong enough to run any heavy Android app especially the games in full HD on large screen. The gaming sensor Gyroscope has been beautifully integrated on the OS to make the phone comfortable for the games in particular besides other functionalities.
Camera and Multimedia
This time Xolo has really done a great job in camera technology as well. It has enhanced its both front and back cameras not only in software technology but also in the range. The 13MP rear camera is supported by dual LED flashes and PureCel sensor to capture high quality images and videos along with saving the battery life. The front camera has huge capacity of 5MP along with LED flash and BSI sensor for much improved quality video calls. The camera performance is awesome in this set.
Battery and Memory
The 2300mAh Li-ion battery is fairly large enough to provide 11hrs talk time but the battery is eaten up quickly if heavy end games are played on it. N the average the battery life is moderate enough to accommodate normal mobile use. The internal storage is large enough in this case which is of 32GB but the memory extension is not provided. The RAM is of 2GB strong enough to make the phone able to run heavy games along with all other exclusive and normal mobile features.
Pros and Cons
For pros:
· Large screen
· Strong gaming sensor Gyroscope
· High performing cameras
· Powerful processor
· High build quality
For cons:
· Expensive phone
· Moderate battery life
Verdict
The phone is too costly for providing high end services like Octa core processor, 13MP back and 5MP front camera, full HD display screen. Since this phone especially is built for gaming purposes besides all other phone features so it can be the first choice for gamers. This phone is now considered a challenge for other smartphone in the market having similar features but lack of gaming specific sensors. The phone actually is a success from Xolo by launching phone which has outclass functionalities in almost every section. The camera of the phone is the most notable thing in this case. The pictures and videos produced by the cameras are of high quality thus the phone actually justifies the price set for it. Even though setting this much high price may scare the user and he/she will think many times either to invest in this set or not. The initial price for the phone should have been at moderately high level for it to get attention.
