Xolo is all set to take on the big boys and give the competition a run for its money. After launching the world’s first Intel powered phone they have come up with their next offering the Xolo A700. The Xolo A700 is a mid range Dual SIM (3G + 2G) mobile phone that has been designed to give you more value for money. Starting with the Android v4.0 ICS operating system that gives you access to unlimited apps and amazing toggling to the 1 GHz Dual Core Processor with 512 MB RAM that gives you optimum performance, the Xolo A700 packs quite a punch.
The 4.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen supports qHD, 960 x 540 pixel resolution with 16 M colours to give you crisp and clear display. Pair this advanced display with IPS Display technology and you get wider viewing angles and faster response time.
When it comes to entertainment the A700 spares no expense; the phone is equipped with a 5 megapixel autofocus primary camera with LED flash and a 0.3 megapixel secondary camera. The phone also facilitates video recording. The phone has a dedicated MP3 music player as well as a video player.
Design
There is no denying that the Xolo A700 can compete with the competition for having great looks and design. The compact design of the bar-shaped phone neatly accommodates three capacitive keys, a loudspeaker and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Navigation on the A700 is simplified with sensors like Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and the Ambient Light Sensor that make toggling easy and smooth.
Storage and Battery
The Xolo comes with an inbuilt memory of 4 GB that can be expanded up to 32 GB using micro SD or micro SDHC cards. The phone supports optimum call memory, phonebook memory and SMS memory. The phone is powered by a 1700 mAh Li-Ion battery that supports up to 6 hours of talktime on 2G and up to 3 hours on 3G. You can enjoy up to 425 hours of standby time on 2G and up to 288 hours on 3G.
Connectivity and Features
The Android Xolo A700 offers impressive connectivity with GPRS, EDGE, 3G and Wi-Fi. You can browse the internet using the pre-installed Android browser or send and receive Email with ease. You can use the micro USB port to transfer files from your PC, however, if you want to transfer files wirelessly to other compatible devices you can use Bluetooth. The A-GPS enabled Xolo A700 comes with Google Maps to make navigation through your city a piece of cake.
To sum up, the Xolo A700 is a mobile phone that has been designed to give you convenience and superior usability, but all these great features come to you without burning a huge hole in your pocket.
