I can see many people still talking about battery, that's SAD what do u expect to go to Mar's?? N Heating just tell me which phone does not? when playing high end games. I hv tested Lumias 720,520,625 as friends hv that n many androids too so STOP it it's annoying...I think some People want to play music on 8x at Chandani chowk that's why they complain about low Volume.
No Lags so far
No crashing of apps
WiFi is ON for 6hrs daily battery still lasts for a day
I think XOLO gave me a Special Piece or others are Exaggerating :P

AnonD-298895, 27 Aug 2014It Has Multi Colour Led Lights.
But Check Out My Points Be... moreHi Mitul i would like you to correct some comments that you have posted for xolo 8x-1000
Con1: Definitely poor battery as compared to IPS screen and octacore processor.
Battery is a 1920mah which is non-removable but that gave me decent backup for more that a that a day with fair 3g usage, multimedia and wifi usgae. The batter
drops to 65-70 % within 30-40mins of usage once fully charged but with the 65-70% we can sure stand a day with moderate usage. If you a high end gamer or mutimedia
freak dont go for it. But i would say it can handle the 1.4octacore processor and hiveUI usage(this was i told when i contacted xolo service head regarding this concern)
Con2: Once we set a ringtone from SD card it get backs to original tone as we reboot the phone.
I dint get this problem with the phone and i tried it several times. I triedto set a ringtone and rebooted the phone which did kept the one that i set. you might
have someotherissues with ur handset if you are using one
Con3: Can't remove google search bar and weather and date widget from home screen.
Thats true and its little annoying. However xolo runs hive over kitkat4.4.2 much of the stock andriod features are maintained for example the widgets. Howere in motog
motox also we cant remove the google search bar
Con4 :Yes it surely gives a heating problem.
I dint get any heating problem with normal usage yet with 10days of usage. However tried playing asphaut 7, dead trigger and temple run the phone got hot like anyother
budget android phone. 8x-1000 heat can be felt more because of the corning glass panel at the back unless the plastic used in other phones
Con5 : Scratch guard not applied properly at all.
Mine was perfectly blended with the Asahi Dragontrail glass in the front.If you are notsatisfied you can remove and use the additional guard that is provided with the
handset
Con6: Opted for facelock now can't move back to slide lock don't know how to enable.
I used facelock and am using it till date with no issues. Bro i think consider replacing the phone.
Con7: Terrible sound problem with ear piece and speakers both are very low.
It gives good output through headset with the fusion fx palyer and google play music with its inbuilt fx equilizer. However i agree to the loudness of the external
speaker where on the bottom we have two grill for the speaker which makes us think it is dual speaker but only right side work other one is a dummy grill
Con8: Being 5inch screen it should have come with full keyboard with number tabs. like samsung provides in its big size screen phones.
No comments depends on your personal opinion
Con9: Mail notification tone not working just led light blinks.
I dint find any specific notification alert that can be set for mails. It is general tone for notification and works fine.However we cannot change or set
notification light colors it has red and green
Con10: Left side speaker not working.
On the bottom we have two grill for the speaker which makes us think it is dual speaker but only right side work other one is a dummy grill,however dual speakers would have
been much appreciated
Con11: Problmes With Phone Vibration Sometimes Only It Works & Vibrates.
Bro consider changing the hanset or try a factory reset but i dint get it personally and such kind of a problem not reported by anyone else. might be hanset specific
Final verdict by mitul:
I Dont Think So One Should Buy This Phone Till The Above Problems Are Solved.
Final Verdict:
Phone looks are awesome and gives premium look and the hive UI is refreshing however they are missing some features which we hope can be added in the future with OTA updates.
Rear Camera is 8mp i would say is not that great but no that bad. It uses sony exmor sensor which takes decent and great pics in daylight and in normal environment
with flash the color production and details are above average but not that great.
Front cam is fixed focus and i would say not that great for 2mp but you can do decent video chat
Expect the battery fact and lack of loudness of external speakers you can go for it if you are a moderate user.
