Leaks reveal Xolo to be working on Tegra 3-based T1000, 5.5-inch Q2000

Xolo’s next phone may be quite a beast. Benchmarks have popped up from an anonymous submitter on Nenamark for a handset named the Xolo T1000. The maximum score for the handset on NenaMark’s benchmark is 53.20. The minimum score for the handset is 52.70 and the average is 52.95.

The handset seems to be running on a Tegra 3 chip clocked at 1.5 GHz. Other than that, all we can figure out from the benchmark is that the handset will be running on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. Making a phone using a Tegra 3 chip is a step forward for Xolo. Previously, the company has been using MediaTek’s processors to power its phones.

AndroidNova has gotten its hands on a list of some of the features of the T1000. It will have a 4.7-inch IPS HD display, an 8 megapixel camera on the back and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory. Keeping all of this alive will be a 2000 mAh battery. The price of the phone is rumoured to be around Rs 16,000.
