Along with Xolo 800 X-Edition, Two variants of popular budget android phone, Xolo A500S, namely Xolo A500L and Xolo A500S IPS got listed on various online retail sites. Xolo has also launched phones like Xolo Q900 and Xolo Q700i, with minor variation in last few weeks to cash in on its popular last generation smartphones.
The Xolo A500L sports a 4 Inch WVGA display similar to Xolo A500S which gives you a pixel density of 233 ppi which is pretty usable display and the most you can expect at this price range. This phone runs on Android 4.2 and comes with XOLO Secure app that backs up call logs, messages and even tracks the phone’s location remotely.
The phone is powered by a MT6572 chipset which has 2 cores clocked at 1.3 GHz. The RAM capacity is same at 512 MB and the internal storage also remains same at 4 GB. It can be further extended to 32 GB using MicroSD support.
The battery capacity has been increased to 1500 mAh and will provide you with talk time of 13 hours on 2 G and standby time of 681 hours on 2G, which makes this an attractive option. Connectivity features include Bluetooth 4.0, HSPA+, 3G, WiFi, and GPS with AGPS support.
Xolo A500S IPS comes with an IPS display which will provide you with better viewing angles and enhanced brightness. This phone is soon expected to replace Xolo A500S and is available at Rs. 6,596. Xolo A500L is equipped with a slightly weaker camera but if you can deal with it you get to have a better back up at a lower price of Rs. 5612. Xolo is perhaps planning on replacing the old smartphones with slightly enhanced variants and make some money while at it. It remains to be seen how the market will react.
