Vishal Sehgal, Co-founder & Director, Lava International said, "Our  partnership with Intel continues. With the first XOLO device X900 in  April last year, we redefined speed and performance by bringing in the  first 1.6GHz Intel HT based smartphone to the world. Earlier this year,  with XOLO X500, we bought this high-speed smartphone experience into the sub 10K price segment. Now, with XOLO X1000 and its 2Ghz Intel HT  processor, the customers will get to experience an entirely new  definition of speed and performance. That, added to the stunning looks  of this smartphone, is sure to take the breath away of our ever-growing  tribe of XOLO lovers." Xolo had launched the X900, its first Intel-based smartphone in April 2012. The company later added the Xolo X500 to its portfolio, which was the second Intel-powered smartphone. Xolo X500 (Review) features an Atom Z2420 processor, which has a clock speed of  1.2GHz and combines Intel's hyper-threading technology. It is a dual-SIM smartphone, which runs on Android 4.0. The company recently  launched its first quad-core smartphone, the Q800. It comes with a 4.5-inch qHD IPS display. Internally, the device packs  in 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up  to 32GB via microSD card. It runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). There is  an 8-megapixel auto focus rear snapper with LED flash, a 1.2-megapixel  front camera and a 2,100 mAh battery.
