Xolo Q1000 Review
olo had launched several phones over the past 1 year, but this is the
company’s first quad-core smartphone with a 5-inch HD display. Xolo launched the A1000 back in February, the Q1000 is exactly similar to it in terms of design and the display. The Q1000 comes under the company’s QCORE series. The company launched the Q800 back in March and the Q700 in May and the Q600 was launched recently . We brought you the unboxing of the device last month, here we have the complete review of the device. Let’s dive into the review.
Unboxing
Box Contents
The Xolo Q1000 has a 5-inch IPS display at a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixel at 294 PPI pixel density. The display is based on one-glass solution (OGS) technology that reduces the phone’s thickness by reducing the air gap between the touch sensor, display and the cover glass. The display is bright and has great viewing angles. Since it is glossy, it becomes a finger print magnet.
There is an ear piece on top along with a 1.2-megapixel font-facing camera with BSI sensor. The Proximity and Ambient light sensors are present on the other side.
Below the display the capacitive touch buttons for Menu, Home and Back are present. These light up and offers haptic feedback when pressed. There is a tiny microphone below that, on the rim.
On the left side there is a volume rocker and a dedicated camera key. Since the key is placed awkwardly, your fingers come in contact with the camera lens or the flash when you use the camera button to take pictures.
There is a power button on the right side.
The micro USB slot and the 3.5mm audio jack are on the top. There is nothing on the bottom.
On the back there is a 8-megapixel camera with LED flash. It has a BSI sensor for better low-light imaging. The LED flash is present next to the camera and there is a Xolo branding below it.
The back has shiny plastic cover which makes the device slippery. Wish it had a matte finish like the Q700. There is a large speaker grill on the bottom of the back cover.
When you open the plastic back cover, you get to see the large 2100 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery.
The micro SD card and the SIM card slots are present below the camera. You can see the large camera sensor clearly.
The IEMI details are present underneath the battery.
Camera
The 8-megapixel auto focus camera takes nice shots. Even low-light shots came out pretty good, thanks to the Back Side Illumination (BSI) sensor. We noticed blurred spots in few shots, we are not sure the problem is with our unit. Since this is runs on Android 4.2, it support lockscreen widgets that lets you launch the camera directly from the lockscreen. The camera UI is similar to the Q700 with a navigation bar on the left pane that lets you change the different camera modes including HDR, Panorama, Smile shutter and more. There is a Flash toggle and option to switch between either cameras on the top. You can just swipe to the left to view previously shot images or videos. The settings menu lets you enable GPS location, adjust exposure, white balance, add color effects, change the scene mode and adjust anti-flicker mode. You don’t get Google Photo Sphere that is present in the stock version.
