XOLO A800 dual-SIM Android phone now available for INR 11,999

Lava has quietly released the third Android smartphone under its XOLO sub-brand in the country. Joining the already available XOLO X900 and XOLO A700, XOLO A800 is being sold at INR 11,999 at Flipkart.

XOLO A800 features a 4.5-inch qHD IPS display, Android 4.0, 1GHz dual-core processor, 8MP rear camera, 0.3MP front camera, and 1600 mAh battery. It also sports 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, microSD card slot (8GB in the box) and dual-SIM connectivity.

At this pricing, the phone certainly looks enticing on paper but it will get serious competition from Micromax, iBall, Spice, Intex and Zync’s 5-inch offerings, which are cheaper.

To remind you, Lava had earlier started selling A700 in the country, which comes with similar features apart from the 5MP camera, but is sold at a cheaper price of INR 9,999.
