Xolo Q1000 Review: value for money, thy name is Android

By Asif Iqbal Shaik

Xolo Q 1000

The Xolo Q1000 is one of many value-for-money dual SIM Android smartphones from local brands that are on sale in India. At the price of INR 13 000/US$220, the Xolo Q1000, is one of the most balanced smartphones available in India, which tends to perform better than its well-marketed international competitors. It comes with the latest version of Android and is powerful enough for the heaviest of workloads.

Display

At a price point of US$250 and above, I usually expect a smartphone to pack an HD screen resolution for a better web browsing experience. The Xolo Q1000 is no different from its competitors in terms of screen specifications but its display is actually better in real-life use than others.
