It seems like Xolo is all set to steal the Samsung Galaxy S4’s thunder (or try, at least), by introducing the fastest smartphone on the same day as the South Korean company launches its next flagship. Well, the manufacturer doesn’t blatantly reveal it all, but the countdown on its homepage which runs right down to March 14 speaks for itself.
Only known as the fastest smartphone so far, the name of this mysterious device has currently been withheld. From what can be gathered, it is a result of the company’s collaboration with Intel, of which we’ve been seeing a lot lately. Also, odds are that the handset will most likely be fueled by a Clover Trail+ processor.
The said CPU was announced at the MWC last month and houses two cores. The processor has been made available in three variants namely, Z2580, Z2560 and Z2520. The first version has been clocked at 2GHz, the second paces at a speed of 1.6GHz and the third edition ticks at 1.2GHz.
Each of the three versions comprises of PowerVR SGX 544MP2 graphics. At the same time, they support full HD resolutions. Owing to the onboard HSPA+ 42Mbps modems, devices running the processor should be able to support 3G networks. This series of the CPU however will not show compatibility with 4G LTE.
The handsets encasing it will be able to include dual cameras, thanks to the Atom platform. While the front has been sanctioned to possess a webcam with up to 2MP capacity, the sensor of the rear-facing snapper cannot surpass 16 megapixels. Additionally, its HDR mode has been tweaked to reduce any blurring and users will moreover be able to tailor pictures by selecting one of the multiple headshots of the same image.
Continuing from where we left, the top region of the fastest smartphone by Xolo can be seen on the invitation for the event, which the folks over at Tech2 have received. They are guessing that the key posted onto the surface should be either a power or lock/unlock button, burrowed next to which is a 3.5mm jack. The presence of an LED notification light should explain the blue beam next to the aforesaid button. As of now, this is all we could draw together, but stay tuned to this space for more.
