Xolo Play 8X-1100 Review

Score: 57.2 / 100

Xolo Play 8X-1100 is a good quality Android phone launched back in the year 2014, packed with a quite big 5 inches screen, a very powerful 1700 MHz Octa-Core processor, and two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back side camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera.

Tag Heuer equipped this phone with a great Octa-Core CPU running at 1.7 GHz, included in the MediaTek MT6592 chip with a big 2 GB RAM. To collaborate with graphic calculations, the Xolo Play 8X-1100 also has an ARM Mali-450 GPU clocking at 650 MHz. This cellphone has an interesting 16 GB internal storage and a slot for external memory cards, allowing the user to store a couple hundred apps and games without any problem.

This phone is extremely thin, with a thickness of just 0.34". This cellphone is a very compact cellphone, considering it features a 5 inches display and it is just 5.57 inches long. This phone is sold in two different color options, black and white.

This device includes a good level 1280 x 720 (HD) 5-inches screen, providing this device with a very nice image quality. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This phone features two cameras, a 13 megapixels back side camera and a 5 megapixels front side camera. This device also shoots videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). In addition, this cellphone's camera also features some interesting characteristics: auto-focus, flash, HDR mode, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This phone features Wi-Fi connection (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ data connection, that is not as fast as LTE networks and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Xolo Play 8X-1100 has dual SIM so it's able to use 2 different phone numbers and even different carriers at the same time.

This phone has a 2100 mAh great Li-Polymer battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, but you may need to charge it if you use it heavily. Tag Heuer says this phone has a stand by time of 473 hs and a talk time of 18 hs.

This phone also features a handful of nice features like Bluetooth (4.0), GPS Localization and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is definitely the right choice no matter whether you want a cellphone to play games or will use it mainly for social networks and internet browsing.
