14 DAY TRIAL // Many Android fans in India remember XOLO's Black smartphone launched back in July, which packs an octa-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and a 5.5-inch display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution.
It looks like the Indian OEM has decided to kick it up a notch and has launched an upgraded version of the popular XOLO Black.
The new smartphone has been officially introduced in India with the same name, but surprisingly, at lower price and with better specs.
Although XOLO Black sports a similar 5.5-inch OGS (One Glass Solution) capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating, the device packs more RAM than the previous model.
While the original XOLO Black comes with 2GB of RAM, the new model features 3GB of RAM inside. Both variants are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipsets and pack 16GB of internal memory that can be expanded up to 64GB via microSD card slot.
According to a new report, the improved XOLO Black will be available for purchase in India beginning December 29. Customers will be able to pick this one up for just Rs 11,999 outright, which is about $180 or €165.
Exclusive to Snapdeal
It's also worth mentioning that XOLO Black will be exclusively available in India through major retailer Snapdeal. Keep in mind that you will have to register on the retailer's website for the pilot flash sale on December 29.
XOLO Black ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system right out of the box and the company's HIVE Atlas UI on top of it.
Other highlights of the phone include a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, a 2-megapixel front-facing photo snapper, and a 3,200 mAh battery.
Last but not least, XOLO Black offers both 4G LTE and Hybrid dual-SIM support, as well as other connectivity options such as 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS with AGPS.
