Last March, a low-end Android phone
called Xolo Q800 debuted in Asia. The
model remains almost unknown in
the Western markets, but it is a
perfect specimen of a new class of
Android smartphones that are rocking
both smartphone and mobile
application markets in 2013. It is the
Q800 and its brethren that actually
explain a variety of recent industry
surprises, ranging from unexpected
profit slumps of high-end phone
vendors to Google Play’s sudden
surge to take the lead over iOS in
terms of overall mobile app
downloads.
Here is why the Xolo Q800 is now
setting the Asian handset markets on
fire: It offers a quad-core 1.2 GHz
CPU, an 8 megapixel rear camera and
a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of
225 pixels per inch, all for a $160
retail price without subsidies. There
have been appealing low-end Android
models before this year, but this is a
watershed moment for the phone
industry. These specs are just
outrageous considering the price
point.
Let’s compare the Q800 to the
Samsung Galaxy S Duos, which
happens to be retailing at the same
exact price point in India this week.
The Samsung model at $160 offers a 1
GHz CPU, a 5 MP rear camera and a 4-
inch display with a resolution of 233
pixels per inch. Samsung’s software
quality, build quality and camera
quality are clearly superior to what
Xolo can deliver. But no matter: Xolo’s
specs edge has helped boost the
brand to contest Samsung’s budget
devices and it is simply devastating
comparable HTC and BlackBerry
devices.
In addition to Lava’s Xolo brand, there
are strong budget challengers like
Micromax, Karbonn, Spice,
Videocon… the list goes on and on.
Brands that could not aspire to mid-
market status two years ago are now
going delivering rock solid entries in
the $100 to $200 price bracket. This
has been made possible by the
modularization of the component
industry. Vendors no longer have to
spend money on doing R& on
antenna engineering or power
management issues. They can simply
buy component models and cram
them into a plastic box.
This won’t appeal to discerning
buyers, but all of those already have a
smartphone. The future global growth
of the smartphone industry comes
mostly from families earning less than
$10,000 a year. That is a hard, hard
row to hoe for most former
smartphone champs. It also means
that the mobile app industry may
have to become increasingly
accommodating to emerging markets.
Brazil and Russia are soaring ahead of
Germany and the United Kingdom in
app download statistics.
The low-end Androids are destroying
much of the old value structure of the
mobile telecom industry while
creating entire new opportunities for
companies who can survive under
intense price pressure. It will be an
entirely new mobile telecom market

Dewze: Hi guys. I got some hint on a forum that I can browse and download unlimited on my pc, with any etisalat BIS plan, if I do it via my phone, usb, and a blackberry desktop manager.

I did try it with a N100/daily BIS plan. I did the setup (with APN etisalat blackberry Nigeria:8080). It worked very fine. Though after I had managed to watch (not download) just three youtube videos, etisalat cut me off. Now I can't browse anymore and I'm being told to recharge. I've not even spent up to an hour yet.

I just would like to know if the N100/daily is realy unlimited or is it just the N1000/monthly and above tht is unlimited. was it because I used it on my pc rather than on my phone or I did not get the setting right?

Pls any one with a knowledge of how these things work shld help with some bit of insight. Thanks a lot.

walton1: dear friends using Airtel bis unlimited I noticed since yesterday that o have not been able to browse on my android phone with the airtel unlimited, please confirm or is it network in my area?

Onosy: These Samsung that some dude make noise about as the best phone is not actually the best Some have not even used it

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S duos for my wife 2 months ago for about 35K From Slot and now the Phone shut off on its own...I just Google the issue and behold its a very serious and popular issue just Google it and see (And they say Samsung is the best....)

My Tecno T1 (First Tecno Android) is still working fine after about a year.

See link below for issues with Samsung Phones (New Phones at that...) Some people even suggested change of Battery for a month old phone
