Xolo Black: Snapdragon 615 and dual sensor camera for less than 200 $

Xolo recently formalized the first model of its new Black in India. With the price below $ 200 and with its well-stocked technical details, including a dual-camera sensor, it has obviously caught our interest. The race at the lowest prices gave birth to a new trend among manufacturers: the exclusive online sales, where merchants are much less greedy and demanding on margins. This allows lowering the sale price. Huawei is part of several followers. It even created a niche brand, Honor, there are many others in Asia, like Micromax (with its Yu brand) and now Xolo. It did not create a new brand but merely a new range. Its name is Black, as the first smartphone resulting officially and just introduced in India.

The Xolo Black is the first representative of that range. It will be exclusively marketed by Flipkart, one of the major players in online sales in India. Obviously, this does not concern us directly but Black has another feature that is well worth that we talk in our columns. It has a dual camera sensor. This is a similar configuration to that of from HTC One (M8), but better. 



The main sensor offers a resolution of 13 megapixels, while the second, with its 2 megapixel resolution, has the main function of measuring field’s depths. Together they offer some new features, like UbiFocus for the development setting after taking or OptiZoom that improves the results obtained with the digital zoom. They also reduce the development time up to 0.15 seconds.

For the rest, the Xolo Black is a classic mid-range smartphone that rather come with a Full HD IPS screen of 5.5 inches, a Snapdragon chipset 615 coupled with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory expandable, a 5 megapixel camera and a 3200 mAh battery to power all, also animated by Android Lollipop dressed HIVE IU. All this specifications comes for the modest sum of 200$.
