looks pretty sleek. However one can get x800 for 1.5k's more :tongue:

I was under impression that Xolo brand had intel chips in them ..but this has mediatek one.
Also ..512mb ram?! C'mon already ..make 1gb the standard.

looks pretty sleek. However one get x800 for couple of 1.5k's more :tongue:

I think 6,999Rs is the MRP. The actual retail price will be much lower.

Rs. 6,799.00 on Amazon India.

Lava has made a joke of Xolo branding. Loads of ARM based devices are being sold under the XOLO branding.

they have even degraded X800 though from their 1st launch, coming with a inferior chip now, to reduce the prices.
What was Intel expecting from the Indian Lava, any different

X800?And its not as if Intel had any choice. Commercially, their chips have been massive flops.

They could have reserved the xolo branding for their chip based devices! It's not like Lava doesn't sell phones under other brandings!

Considering how poorly they are/were selling, they wouldn't have spent almost anything on marketing etc.And I don't see how having a separate model line for a specific range of processors makes any difference. No other company follows this practice.
