XOLO 8X-1000 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
The XOLO 8X-1000 was launched at a price of Rs 13,999, and even though it`s available for around Rs 12,500, it still seems a tad overpriced when you take the competition into consideration. When we look at Indian brands in the same price range, the Karbonn Titanium Octane (first impressions) and Micromax Canvas Nitro (unboxing and first impressions) come to mind, both of which offer similar specs at the same or lower price. Looking at international brands, the new Moto G (first im
Pros
- Classy design and flagship-quality build
- Bright display with good viewing angles
- HIVE adds an interesting software twist
Cons
- Performance can be sluggish depending on the theme
- Average camera duo
- Battery barely lasts a day
A design that's all glass and geometry
+
Forget gentle curves and dual-tone finishes – the 8X-1000 is all about clean lines and geometry. Resembling a rectangular block, the device sports a sandwich design and a glass back panel. Because of its all-black colour scheme, it's difficult to distinguish between the front and back panel of the device when it's on standby, save for the shiny XOLO logo at the rear.

Vibrant display with good viewing angles
+
The 8X-1000 sports a 5-inch display, a size that is fast becoming the norm on most mid-range devices. Featuring HD resolution, the display offers a fairly crisp pixel density of 294ppi. Thanks to its IPS technology, it produces vibrant colours and good viewing angles. Brightness is a strong point too, and the display is legible even in sunlight.

The cameras offer mixed results
+
The smartphone features an 8-megapixel primary camera with a Sony Exmor R sensor and an aperture of f/2.0. In the front, it sports a 2MP snapper for selfies and video calls. The camera app packs in a few effects you can apply in real time, such as Mono, Sepia, Negative, Aqua, Blackboard and Whiteboard. There are also some shooting modes, like Panorama, HDR, Gesture Shot, Face Beauty and Pro. Gesture Shot brings up a countdown timer when you make the ‘V' sign, but it didn't always work in our experience. The Pro mode brings up controls for ISO, exposure and white balance.

HIVE is a good first effort
+
The highlight of the 8X-1000 is HIVE. Running on top of Android 4.4.2, HIVE completely changes the look-and-feel of stock Android.

Smooth performer, but the heavy UI takes its toll
+
The 8X-1000's internals are fairly loaded. Powering the show is an octa-core processor MT6592M from MediaTek, which has been underclocked from 1.7GHz to 1.4GHz, most likely to prevent over-heating issues. Aiding the processor is 2GB of RAM and a Mali-450 MP4 GPU. The device gets an ample 16GB of internal storage, partitioned into two segments. Out of this, a little over 13GB is available to the user. The microSD card can expand the memory by an additional 32GB.
