http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/12/lava-xolo-a800-1355494649.jpg Most of us who know Lava’s Xolo badge will associate it with one of the first Atom-based smartphones, the Xolo X900, but it’s branching out to models that don’t require an Intel Inside label. Its just-launched, India-oriented Xolo A800 is all about keeping the cost of a big-screened phone down through a low-cost ARM processor: the Android 4.0 smartphone combines a 1GHz, dual-core MediaTek MT6577 chip with a 4.5-inch, 960 x 540 IPS display that you won’t often find in this device class. There’s a few other surprises in store. While the dual 2G and 3G SIM slots aren’t unusual given local market tastes, the A800 also stuffs in a very modern backside-illuminated 8-megapixel rear camera, a front VGA camera and a total of 12GB of storage out of the box. The grand total for Indians buying today is just 11,999 rupees ($220) off-contract – a good deal that makes us hope Lava takes the A800 abroad.
