Great Phone!! Even greater Pricing!! :)
Amal Mishra (May 31, 2014)

PREMIUM AND STURDY BUILT
The phone is well built for its price and has a matte finish to its back .A silver chrome lining runs along the edges making it look elegant. It has One Glass Solution (OGS) IPS Display with the HD 720p resolution and Asahi scratch resistant glass. An impressive pixel density of 294 ppi makes the screen really pleasing to the eyes. The crisp screen will give you a felling high end phones. So for me it really scores in terms of screen quality and its build.
8MP REAR CAMERA WITH EXMOR R SENSOR
It has 8 MP rear camera with Exmor R sensor which is generally found in Sony phones and is known for superior low light imaging. It can also record 1080p videos @30 fps and has a very capable 2 MP front camera for video calling. Back camera supports Auto focus, Face recognition and panorama mode.The phone performs well in real time usage and pics are well detailed even the video quality is very good.
1.3 GHz QUAD CORE PROCESSOR AND 1GB RAM
The phone has decent Mediatek MTK6582 quad core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz and a GB of RAM. This enables it to glide seamlessly without any lag. Its dual core GPU MALI-MP2 clocked at 500 MHz gives it enough power to run all the games on high to medium settings. Another good thing is it doesn't get hot while playing games and watching movies is fun. It supports 1080p playback and USB OTG which lets you connect pen drives to it. So you can carry your movies with you and watch them on the go.
SMART GESTURE AND OTHER GREAT FEATURES
It supports smart gestures which enables you to unlock your smartphone even when it is in sleep/standby mode. Like if you type ?e? on the touchscreen it will take you directly to your web browser similarly 'c' to access dial pad and 'm' to open camera and much more. Great fancy and useful feature to have and flaunt :p . It comes with dual sim and supports Wi-Fi Hotspot.
FINAL VERDICT
I think Xolo hit the right chord with Q1010i . With its solid performance and competitive pricing it?s a great phone to have for around 11k. Everything from the display to processor to RAM is very good at the price point. Xolo has also kept the UI fairly simple which helps in its smooth performance. Gaming performance is also very good and you can download almost any game you come across in Google play store and the phone will play it for you. Its good GPU also let you play full HD videos with ease so you can enjoy your favorite titles on the go. The camera comes with Exmor R sensor making it very good device to click pictures with. So if you are looking for a good phone with good all round performance definitely consider it.

i am a frequent online buyer and most of our needsm less grocery and vegetables, are met through online shopping
White Q1010i was available on deal for Rs 7999/- A superb phone at a very competitive price was delivered in a day time by Amazon. they deserve compliment for service and quality of product. being sold on the site.
Phone that came with freebies like Screen Guard (that i spoiled trying to fit it my self) and Leather Flip cover is working great.
Performance:- Quad core processor delivers excellent power to run multiple apps simultaneously which is more than sufficient for most of users.
HD display give crystal clear display which can be seen during day light conditions.
Camera:- Rear Camera of 8 MP and front 2 MP are just superb for picture and video both during day and night,
Battery:- 2250 mAh, is adequate for average user, though anything close to 3000 mAh would have been better.
Look and Feel:- Phone has executive look&feel.
UI:- very user friendly and practical UI developed by XOLO.
RAM:- 1 GB is great to have on a phone of this price. 2 would have been better.
People have commented on service related issues that i have not come across so far.
Total value for money and a great phone to have.

The Most Value For Money Smartphone
Prashant Bhati (Apr 11, 2019)
on Flipkart
* Phone takes good pictures in low-light and record 1080p videos at 30fps.
The front facing camera is decent for taking selfies.
* There are dual mics for noise cancellation as well as a LED notification right next to the front facing camera.
* It runs on Android 4.2.2 housing 1.3 GHz MT6582 Quad Core Processor with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB Internal Memory.
Out of the 8GB, 4.3 GB is available for Phone's Storage and 1.9GB is allocated for apps.
Games and apps can be installed and moved to an External SD Card.
There is no lag in the phone.
Played Asphalt 8 with high graphics and it worked smoothly.
* The phone looks premium either with the flip cover or without it. The reason being the slick and lightweight design.
* The IPS touchscreen is a 5 inches OGS display residing 1280x720 pixels resolution with Asahi Scratch Resistant Glass (Dragon Tail Glass).
Touch is smooth and responsive. Viewing angles are very good.
Xolo Q1010i also comes with 'Gloves' mode for extra sensitivity touch i.e. you can use the phone while wearing gloves.
On-screen gestures to access apps instantly in sleep or standby mode. Swipe ?e? to launch web browser, ?c? for dialer and ?m? for camera.
* Headphone are good and looks nice. (I already have a pair of Monster Beats and Sennheiser earphones)
* Battery Backup is pretty good and it lasts more than a day without charging while making phone calls, little game-play and some video playback. (it?s a non-removable 2250mah battery).
While playing heavy games continuously, the battery lasted about 6 hours.
It also has a XOLO Power app which works amazingly if you don't have any power source.
* Supports OTG (OTG cable comes in the box)
* 5 point Multi-touch
* GPS locks in really fast.
* Speaker is loud and clear.
Quadrant Standard - 5864
AnTuTu - 17242
I got it for Rs. 10,999 from another website.
It's retailing for 12-12.5K and less.
Conclusion,
This is the best alternative for MOTO G!
Also, this device has to be the most Value for Money smartphone.
Now anxiously waiting for XOLO to fulfill their promise and release the KitKat update within a month or two.
