Specifications

Build quality & design: Very impressive, no cheap looks, sturdy design but not rugged, total premium looks. Back cover is Matte finish but still a little bit of fingerprint magnet. Removal of back cover for first time users is a stressing job, but still it’s made up of good quality of plastic, with “Xolo X edition” written in golden letters.
Charger quality decent, but gets extremely hot after an hour charging in closed room.
USB cable is of average size.

It can be easily operated with one hand doesn’t feel bulky.

The three touch sensitive buttons are backlight illuminated.

DISPLAY: Good sharp display (245ppi), good color reproduction. 5 point multi touch is very responsive, not hanged for a single second even after installing tons of apps!

(Note: these scores are before inserting microsd card and before installing other apps)

Connectivity:3G/2G,Wifi,Bluetooth works fine no issues, no signal dropouts . Not yet checked 3G speed. Transfer files with amazing speed via. Super beam.
GPS:Takes a lot time in first time gps locking.But after 4-5 times, its GPS locking becomes very fast with accuracy from 4-8 meters. Now it easily locks gps without any internet connectivity in under 15 seconds.
SIM SLOTS:Both slots are mini SIM slots, so no trimming of SIM cards(only 1st slot supports 3G)

Sound: Good quality, just appropriately loud enough and no breaking of sound at high volumes (but no equalizer equipped). Earphones are of decent quality but well loud and clear. Call quality is also good, clear, even in loudspeaker.

Battery: 2100mAh battery easily last around a day with average use of Wi-Fi, calls, music and few minutes gaming. It is equipped with Xolo power, which does its job perfectly. I have also installed Clean Master which clears RAM while screen is off, so that’s also make battery last more.Charging time:Took 2 hours from 8% to 100% when it was switched off.

Get nova launcher and cLocker

I have seen these launchers, but didn't find any good theme for them, the plain icons and some HD like "Solstice HD Theme" are not that much good looking than stock icons of JB. Thus i dropped that idea of launcher but i'll be trying that lock screen app.Does C Locker supports pattern unlock ? How is "Start" and " GO Locker " ?

Don't go for q800, q800 X edition is better.

 

[omega44-xt]

There are many good launchers. If you want to try something different, try buzz launcher or themer or aviate & cover for lockscreen

One question , How are the viewing angles of the screen ?

On 25th April it was priced around Rs 8600, then on 26th morning it changes to Rs 8050, till night its price reached to Rs 8040. Then on 27th(Sunday) morning its price changes to Rs 8030.+ Rs 150 discount on purchasing from flipkart mobile app . After i purchased it in Sunday morning , its price reduces further more by Rs 126 on next day.But after that prices went up to Rs 8.9k and now its Rs 8892.The price on AMAZON.IN also goes down on the same days ,starting from Rs 8300 to Rs 8030.But after purchasing from flipkart i saw an offer by AMAZON.IN i.e. Buy any smartphone and get Rs 2000 coupon of www.freecharge.in .Which could be used to pay prepaid, postpaid bill or for DTH recharging

Thanks for your detailed review. Really helped a lot. Have ordered Xolo Q800 X-Edition from Amazon 7750/- (Plus 10% cashback on Citibank Credit Card) - That means I actually paid 7000.

Nice detailed review mate. I am planning to Buy XOLO Q 3000. Any idea about it mate? Getting it 16k Online. How is the XOLO service and quaity/experience after months of useage?

 

[sushovan]

After sales service of Xolo, MMX, Karbonn etc are pathetic. Why spend 16K on rebranded crap when you can get Xperia SP at 17K?
