For Rs 12,999, the Xolo Black counts as an impressive first attempt. However, there is a lot of scope for improvement, especially in the camera and user interface department. For a lower price you can consider the Yureka Plus that offers similar specifications and features with a zippy CyanogenMod interface. VerdictRead more

Below the display are touch sensitive backlit buttons for home, menu and back. On the right side are buttons for volume and power in a chrome finish while the hybrid SIM slot is on the right side. The power button also doubles up as a notification LED — it lights up in different colors depending on the notification. While the feature is useful, we felt that it has limited usage, as the phone has to be placed in such a way that the power button is always visible. Hardware

Xolo Black Review: Good looks but needs polishing
