Xolo BLACK with 5.5-Inch Full-HD display and dual rear cameras launches for Rs. 12,999

There are a lot of options when it coming to buying a smartphone in India, its a fiercely contested market with both local and foreign manufacturers duking it out for sales. Here we have the Xolo launching its first device under its BLACK sub-brand, which will be available exclusively via the Indian retailer, Flipkart for Rs. 12.999 ($205).

The Xolo Black sports some interesting features such as a dual-rear camera set-up (like HTC did with the M8) that allows you to first take the picture and then adjust the focus at a later time (UbiFocus). The rear panel has an oleophobic coating to guard against fingerprints and smudges. Both the front and rear are protected by Corning Glass 3.

Xolo’s HIVE Atlas feature allows you to store apps and data discretely, away from prying eyes. There’s a Reading mode that converts text to black-and-white that gives an e-book experience. Xolo has also pre-installed its Comet Browser that it says helps with saving both data and power. Let’s have a look at what else is included for Rs. 12,999.
