The world's first smartphone with "Intel Inside" debuts in India

Lava International Ltd. has announced the launch of XOLO X900, the first smartphone in the world with "Intel Inside".

The XOLO X900 is based on Intel's smartphone reference design powered by the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor Z2460. It features a 400 MHz GPU, capable of full-HD video encoding and playback. The phone sports a 4.03-inch 1024x600 display, HSPA+3G connectivity and a 8-megapixels camera capable of 10 pictures in less than a second.

As has been the case with quite a few recent launches, the X900 runs Android Gingerbread with Ice Cream Sandwich available as an over-the-air update "early next quarter".

The X900 marks a major milestone for Intel. While it has been all but synonymous with the PC industry, Intel has struggled to make its presence felt in the mobile segment, which has been dominated by rivals like NVIDIA and Qualcomm. With a shift away from traditional computers to mobile devices well and truly underway, Intel needed to innovate fast or risk getting left behind.

Given this, how the XOLO X900 perform in the real world is crucial for Intel in terms of convincing other manufacturers to get on board its mobile train.

The XOLO X900 will be available from 23rd April at a street price of Rs. 22,000.
