We have reviewed a number of Xolo smartphones in the recent past and have been quite impressed. The company is clearly trying to break away from the general perception that Indian brands only sell cheap, low-quality products that can be dumped into the market with zero actual effort. Of course Xolo phones are manufactured in China just like all others are, but you can generally expect better looks, build quality and hardware than you'd get from other brands.

Xolo 8X-1000 Summary

Xolo has always tried to differentiate itself from other Indian brands by not cutting corners in a race to the bottom of the price ladder. Its phones have generally been of decent quality, and now the company has developed its own custom Android UI along the lines of Samsung, Sony, LG and other multinationals. Hive UI's look is very modern and there are lots of neat features, but it is not without its quirks. Software aside, the Xolo 8X-1000 also looks great and has a very good camera. However, poor battery life and average performance work against it. We like what the company has come up with and hope to see a refined version in the future.

good smart phone

Manish Kumar Rai (Sep 29, 2019) on Flipkart

Look and feel: At first Glance,the 8x-1000 looks like a solid black slab with almost no markings of any kind.The front and rear are shiny, reflective and immensely easy to smudge up with fingerprints. Xolo says the device is protected by Asahi Dragontrail glass over the screen as well as Gorilla Glass 3, presumably on the rear. Specifications and software The Xolo 8X-1000 is powered by an octa-core MediaTek MT6592M processor running at 1.4GHz with integrated Mali-450 MP4 graphics. There's 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space. The 5-inch screen has a decent resolution of 720x1280. There's an 8-megapixel camera on the rear and a 2-megapixel one in front. Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n are supported, along with the usual proximity sensor, ambient light sensor and accelerometer. So its a good smart phone with respect to pricing , specification and performance.
