Xolo Win Q900s running Windows Phone 8.1 to be launched in July for Rs 11,999

Indian smartphone maker Xolo has joined Micromax in releasing their first Windows Phone 8.1 device in the martket. Unsurprisingly, it has nearly identical hardware to the Micromax Canvas Win range. Running Windows Phone 8.1, the Xolo WIN Q900s is currently on pre-order at Snapdeal and is set for a launch in July for a price of Rs 11,999. The pre-order price is Rs 9,999.  The weight of the WIN Q900s is certainly the big selling point for this phone, as it is just 100g heavy, making it one of the lightest smartphones around and the lightest Windows Phone device so far. Despite the light weight, the Win Q900s has decent internals, which are quite similar to the Canvas Win W121.  It has a 4.7 inch display with HD (1280x720 pixel) resolution and internally, there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz, along with 1GB of RAM, that sounds more than enough for WP8.1 Internally, there's 8GB of storage, with a standard microSD card slot for expansion up to 32 GB. On the back, there's an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, which won't unfortunately have Nokia Camera features, and there's a front facing 2-megapixel shooter too.  Like the Micromax phone, the Xolo Win also supports two SIM cards, along with 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, and Wi-Fi for connectivity.
