    Been using Q800 phone for about 3 weeks now. The display and touch on the 4.5 inch screen looks and feels amazing! The Jellybean processor along with the 1.2 Gz Quad core processor gives such smooth appearance both while regular usage and while gaming also.
    I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a high performing smartphone within a budget.

          M using xolo q800 (MT6589) from last 2 months and no issues till date :-) the camera quality is Fantastic (thanx to BSI & CMOS SENSOR). Camera quality is also better even in low light. quad core processor is buttery smooth while multitasking. It easily manages 20-25 apps running at a time with 1GB of RAM. Skype calling is too good on 3G network.
          Screen size is perfect 4"5 which is handy rathr than 5"phablets. Its having a better build quality for normal as well as rough use. Looks are very premium class, u can compare this device with grand. This product of xolo is best under 12k

                        Quite a good phone within the 12k range. And the 8MP camera is a steal! The touch feels amazing on the 4.5 inch screen. Been using it for 2 months now, and loving it.

                          First let me tell you that I've using this phone since 55 days now, and except 1 time lag in these 55 odd days that too when I played Asphalt 7 and a small heating just below the rear lens, this phone is THE BEST HANDSET you can even get compared with ANY handset below rs 16000 in India.

                          It's quoted at about Rs.11,500 at Flipkart.com and snapdeal.com (do not buy them in discounts as they generally provide with different chipset; like MTK6589M or MTK6589W-M).

                          These were the specifications of the Stock Xolo q800 ROM when I had purchased. I had 109 apps installed that time(system

                          apps included; services excluded).
                          Now I have this rooted to UltimateV2 ROM with 4.2.1 JellyBean and 212 apps installed and it gives free RAM of 697 MB out of 975 MB just after reboot and 550MB while multitasking excluding games (checked in all-in-one Toolbox, ROM Toolbox Pro, Android Tuner) [It gave 655 MB free RAM in Stock (OEM) Xolo ROM after reboot and 535MB free RAM while the other.

                          RECOMMENDATIONS for non-rooted stock ROM:

                          - buy a transcend 32 gb class 10 UHS-I 45mbps read/write speed MicroSD card while costs ~Rs.1450 in flipkart, preferably not the one with 20mbps RD/WR speed.

                          - Black flip cover from eBay or royalwebdesign.in

                          Recommendations for non-rooted stock ROM:

                          BENCHMARK SCORES:

                          Nenamark2: 55 fps (max of 4)
                          Quadrant Standard: 3980 (max of 2)
                          Antutu Benchmark: 13130 (max of 2)
                          Linkpack: SingleThread: 38fps(max) ; Multithread: 100fps(max)


                          I would rate this device 9.6/10. I cut off 0.4 for its little heating while long HD video shooting and high graphics rendered games and the following minor cons.

                          CONS:-

                          i) no USB port OTG
                          ii) no NFC but there is WiFi Direct which works as fine as NFC
                          iii) no notification light

                          ...still the best deal under 16,000. Beats any phone handsdown with its hardware and its perfect delivery as per expectations. Moreover, if you root the phone anytime in future, it would be your little heavenward smartphone.

                            The Video recording is actually at full 1080p HD.
                            The specs at both the Xolo website as well as in "About Phone" is incorrect as in any video player which shows video resolution, the resolution is displayed at 1920x1080 for any video taken in "fine" mode (adjustable in stock settings) (for ex. in MX Player for Android) which clearly means it can shoot in full 1080p HD in its rear lens, and 720p with 1.2 mp quality through it's front lens. Please correct- see the Xolo-Q800 forum in facebook, this is discussed in minute details-all xolo q800 users are there :)

                                        This phone model is previously shipped with SoC MTK6589 which is capable of 1080P recording and playback in H/w mode.Now it's downgraded to MTK6589M which only support 720p and GPU is underclocked than the former one.Yet a powerful one but cannot be compared to the old XOLO Q800..But the good news is price is also dropped to under Rs.10000 from 12500/-.

                                        I bought the former EPIC 1080P capable version of the model 2 months back from flipkart for Rs.12500 and is working fine till now.

                                        You may experience some occasional rebooting problem & small heating issue while playing high end graphics games.

                                        Otherwise it's a good phone for telephony,gaming,photography & multimedia entertainment...
