Xolo X900 Intel's Mobile phone

The Xolo x900, Intel's first phone launched in India in collaboration with Lava mobiles India seems to be a pretty good deal.

The Lava XOLO X900 is the first phone in the world to use an Intel processor and its x86 architecture , yes guys , this one has an Intel ATOM Processor inside it. This phone is available for sale right now in India and has made many heads turn around the stores!


The device has a 4.03-inch display up front with the earpiece, front facing camera and various sensors on top above and the four control keys below. On the right are the volume control keys, microSIM tray, camera shutter button and the right stereo speaker. On the left are a microHDMI port and the left stereo speaker. On top is the power/sleep button with the headphone jack and on the bottom is a microUSB port. On the back are an 8 megapixel sensor with LED flash and a secondary microphone.


The X900 is a long phone and the display is placed near the top so you need to adjust your grip to be able to reach its upper portion comfortably. The power button on top is placed somewhat inconveniently and is hard to use at times.



The Display
The Lava XOLO X900 uses a 4.03-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels and Gorilla Glass coating. Quality-wise, the display is nothing special. The colors are muted, the brightness and contrast are average and the image distorts when seen off angle.

The Power
The Lava XOLO X900 runs on Intel’s Medfield platform. The SoC on this phone is the Atom Z2460, also known as Penwell. It consists of the single-core 1.6GHz Saltwell CPU and the PowerVR SGX540 GPU, clocked at 400MHz. Then there’s also 1GB of dual-channel LPDDR2 memory and 16GB storage space (non-expandable). The X900 runs on Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread.  



Battery Life of The Lava XOLO X900 has a 1,460mAh non-removable battery. Keeping that in mind, the battery life on this phone needs to be good. Turns out, it’s not spectacular but it’s not terrible either. We consistently got a day of battery life on a single charge from the phone with normal use. With heavy usage consisting of gaming or web browsing, the battery lasts for around six hours. We also managed to get four and a half hours while playing a 720p video on loop.

The Price
Priced at ₹ 22,000 ($393) unlocked and without a contract. That’s not a bad price at all, especially considering the performance of the Intel Atom processor.

Living Things - Linkin Park's 5th studio album

Linkin park has released their 5th studio album Living things! today ,  and will be releasing it in the US tomorrow, 

I have been a linkin park fan for some time now, and i have enjoyed all their albums and frankly expecting a lot from this one.
