Xolo rolls out Android 4.4 Kitkat update for Broadcom-powered Q1000 Opus

Xolo’s Broadcom-powered **Q1000** launched late last year now gets an Android 4.4 KitKat update. However, Xolo isn’t pushing out an OTA update; rather users will have to download the 294MB file from the company’s official site.   Once you download the file, rename it as update.zip. However, Xolo points out that one shouldn’t unzip the file.

The Xolo Opus Q1000 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM, so performance should be on par with most other Indian quad-core handsets.  It leverages Broadcom’s BCM23550 quad core HSPA+ processor, BCM4334 connectivity combo chip and BCM4752 multi-constellation GNSS location chip.   The dual-SIM (GSM + GSM) smartphone runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. On the connectivity front, it comes with support for Wi-Fi, 3G, GPRS, EDGE along with Bluetooth and GPS with A-GPS support.
