A friend of mine was looking for a budget phone with a lot of features. While there are bigger brands which are more expensive, I came across Xolo Q3000 which offers similar features at an affordable price.

Here is what I liked about it:

  • 5.7″ IPS  full HD display – good if you like big displays
  • 1,5 GHz Quad Core Processor
  • 2 GB RAM – enough to run many applications
  • 4000 mAh  battery – this is almost double than most phones, will give you a charge for days not hours!
  • Dual SIM
  • 13 MP Camera
  • 16 GB built in Memory with MicroSD Slot
  • Android 4.2
  • Micro USB and USB on-the-go

Although I haven’t used a Xolo myself, I have also heard about some issues with Xolo’s service.

The competitions (namely Micromax and Intex) are about to launch Octo-core processors (8 cores), I don’t know how much better performance you will derive but for now this looks like a good phone.
