Looks like Xolo is finally stepping up their game and if this is price under 20k then it will be a steal for sure.

by the time Play gets launched, Android 4.3 will be out. These mobiles ship with stock Android, should ship with upto date OS (at least 4.2) out of box.

Too much to expect from Xolo. :)

Especially the BSI camera.

But I've not seen any Nvidia Tegra 3 based phones running 4.2 till date.

Is it so hard to include 2gb of ram ? Ram is probably the cheapest component of a smartphone so why not stuff it as much as possible ?

At 167g, its a bit heavy phone(140g would have been better). Now this is a good spec phone at good price (Android 4.2 would have been icing on the cake). Now there is a competitor for Xperia L in terms of performance

Hey Flipkart is again showing wrong specs.......... This phone is shown as dual SIM ???

CPU performance would match/surpass L but GPU is significantly worse :)

Kudos to Xolo for trying something new and original (in Indian market). Unlike MMX which is ripping off Samsung quite overtly.

There haven't been many Tegra 3 devices (off the top of my head, I can name LG Optimus X4, Nexus 7 and HTC One X).

I would be interested in seeing what the quality of the display is.

Given how prices tend to be lower than the competition for "similar" specs, I have a feeling the display will probably be on the lower end, not quite the same as those found on the HTC One. Maybe the panel will not even be manufactured by Samsung/Sony/LG.

But I hope I'm wrong and that they do provide an awesome panel.

Till date XOLO phone does offer better display that other phones in the same price range. XOLO Q1000 does have a better display than Canvas HD. I have seen it by placing both of the phones in my two hands and if you check some reviews, they also have said the same thing.

Since this is based on Tegra 3 like HTC One X and Nexus 7 this has high chances of getting CM and thus becoming the first Indian brand phone to do so.

Any news whether call quality has improved in these new launches by MMX and Xolo (Lava)? Call quality has been their weakest part always, and I believe more people would buy their products if they improve in this area. At least for me it was the deal breaker and decided to buy a phone at twice the price of Canvas HD.

they days of big companies are over, with small companies bringing new things at very low prices. the only thing indian/Chinese mobile companies needs to take care of is sotware and after sale support for their brand, Samsung and Nokia will be thrown out of market in couple of years, and if its prices at 15k i will buy it, even though i will not get any ASS

Cilus, you're not wrong. But I was talking about phones with similar specifications, not prices :) Basically the more expensive Xperias and the HTCs and the Samsungs :)

I wanted to see how the display compares to them in this new phone.

Canvas 2 had nice call quality, don't know if noise cancellation is good enough

BTW I still don't know whether Micromax, Karbonn, XOLO, etc. are Indian companies or Chinese. Clarification please?

4gb of inbuilt mem is a PITA...can we move apps to SDcard or have them install there by default? Imho, Xolo Q700 had a prob with such an action...
