Xolo Q800 X edition

I wanted a mobile under 10k and after searching, bought Xolo q800 X Edition. Already have seen Xolo A500S ,Xolo Q1100 with dad and hence decided to go to xolo again. Its not like there are many great phones under 10k. Wanted to buy Lumia 525 but again felt windows is too restrictive.

The difference between Android and WP devices is that even GB powered Android device would offer you more features and capabilities than a WP 8.1 powered device. People often tend to ignore this aspect.

 

[uumeshh]

what are these features. I guess all platforms do about the same for you

 

[Sushubh]

Have not really used a Windows Phone device to actually notice the shortcomings in real life but from what I understand it still has enough issues to be unusable for someone like me. I don't know if it has universal sharing intent. Support for sharing files over bluetooth or NFC. It does not let you access the phone as a pen drive like android does and so on. Maybe someone who has used both platforms might be able to highlight things that were indeed possible even in Android Froyo which is not possible in WP 8.1.

yeah, what can i do? My dad isn't going to allow me to spend 13-14k.. I believe lumia 525(orange) will be available for 9k or less in a mnth ^_^ Lumia 525 is the best available option for a guy like me who has a very tight budget! I don't hate android but i'm not willing to buy any android device under 10k. Thx for all the help guys. Android ki jai, Windows ki jai

Wrong! Windows Phone (WP8) can be accessed like Pen Drive by connecting phone to PC using USB cable. After we connect phone to PC, we get to see phone memory and external card memory. We can simply copy/paste file between Phone and PC. And file sharing with Bluetooth and NFC is also possible in WP8 and WP7.8 Lumia phones

i won't be needing NFC or whatever. I've told you before that i use it for casual gaming n Social networking n i won't be doing anything else so i need a device thats lag free n is different from android so i'm switching to windows..none of them in my class own a WP so it'll be good for showing off as well

 

[Sushubh]

so the only thing people complain about is lack of apps? i thought it was much more.

 

[SVK]

Which apps lacking? I guess 95% of apps and games from Android and iOS should now available on WP8.
And most popular apps like FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc and games like Temple Run, Subway Surfer, Angry Birds also available on Windows Phone.

 

[Sushubh]

lol. so why are people not buying wp phones?

 

[SVK]

May be its image which was earlier created in mind of people regarding lack of apps which could be holding back people from buying Windows Phone. Besides whenever somebody (average user) goes to buy phone, many salesman mostly show Android phone. Same happened with me when I wanted to purchase Omina W. And then people see their friend/relative got Galaxy, so next time when they go to buy phone, they look for Galaxy
But now slowly there are lots of Lumia phones around. Earlier in my company (200 employees), only I had Windows phone. Now there could be around 20 Lumia phones. I see lots of people using Lumia in bus. Main reason why Lumia is selling could be because its Nokia, and many loyal Nokia fans shifted towards Lumia.
