Android XOLO Play: Is it worth it?

[shanx]

Hey fellow TE'ians. Was looking at the XOLO play and the specs seem too good to be true on paper as far as the pricing is concerned! FK is selling it for 16k.
So i wanted to know that are XOLO devices long lasting and is it worth getting this over any other Android in this range??

maybe good enough, for what you are getting at this price

Maybe not good enough for the after sales treatment you may get if some minute issue arises with the phone.

Xolo has a high failure rate. Phones go bad after 2-3 months, ASS doesn't exist.

Tegra 3 and 2000mAH battery isnt good combination. U will get pathetic battery life. Keep it in mind.

Battery should have been at least 2600mAh. This is what i feel.

wonder why no one said this when HTC One X was launched with Tegra 3 and 1800 mAH battery !

^^ valid point. Probably people didnt bother becoz it was overpriced HTC ( just kidding) with no sd slot and fixed battery. And samsung with S3 and exynos 4412 was faster than tegra 3 and had better battery life too.

BTW rom optimizations also plays important role in battery life which anyway these chinese phones lack. So results will be worse than HTC too.

Xolo Q800 has an active Dev community, and so will Xolo Play. I am using my phone with a custom rom since Day 1 (installed custom ROM even before i inserted the sim card ), awesome battery management. Very satisfied with the battery performance (coming from Defy and then Burst, Xolo is way ahead of both in terms of battery backup.)

i had tegra 3 version of one x. The standby battery life is good if there are no background apps using processor much ( it idles at 51mhz on fifth core ) . While screen is on the battery drains quite fast even while surfing net because of the processor, it used to get quite hot as well. It lasted a day with around 2-3 hours of screen on and no data connection on sim card.

Any sources for the information?

Check forums for information mate.

Why do you think Xolo Play will have an active community? Xolo Q700 is an excellent phone but it still doesn't have developer support. I for one will definitely buy Xolo Play as soon as I feel that it is being supported at XDA.
