Starting today, mobile phone users in India can purchase the XOLO Play T1000 smartphone from XOLO’s website and from various retail stores across the country, for Rs. 15,999 ($266 / €205).

The mobile phone, made official only recently and available for pre-order since last week, lands on shelves with a Tegra 3 processor packed inside, complemented by other appealing specs and features.

The new device sports a 4.7-inch HD IPS one-glass solution display, as well as 1GB of RAM to complement the aforementioned 1.5GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 mobile processor.

Furthermore, the smartphone features 4GB of internal memory, as well as a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.

“As the mobile market continues to grow strongly in India, we’re thrilled to work with XOLO to bring the first of many Tegra-powered devices in India,” Vishal Dhupar, managing director, NVIDIA South Asia, said, according to AndroidOS.

The specifications list of the new mobile phone also includes an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording, as well as a 2MP front camera that should provide users with the possibility to make video calls while on the go.

The XOLO Play also packs support for 3G networks, along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, and a built-in GPS receiver with aGPS.

Courtesy of its processor, the device will provide users with access to NVIDIA TegraZone for gaming, and should deliver pretty decent usage times, given its 1900mAh battery. The smartphone runs under Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

“As XOLO continues to be a differentiated player in the fast-growing smartphone market in India, the XOLO Play T1000 delivers outstanding performance and exceptional visual content,” Vishal Sehgal, co-founder and director at Lava International, stated.

“It offers quick, responsive and visually stunning game play, fast web-browsing and enhanced multi-tasking performance,” he continued.
