First Smartphone with Intel chip arrives on April 24

In January, Intel and Lenovo have joined forces to show the world the K800, the prototype of the first smartphone to replace the traditional ARM chips for a unit's x86 Atom family. The first smart phone to be launched on the market with this kind of chip, however, is another company called Lava. And you can hardly buy it: The device will be sold only in India for now. And he called Xolo X900.


The Xolo is processdor X900 Z2460 Atom "Medfield" with only one core that runs at 1.6 GHz clock. The model has a responsibility to give life to the Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but should have an automatic update for Android Ice Cream Sandwich after the beginning of its sales, scheduled to begin 23 days in Indian stores and online the next day.

The highlight of the X900 is your GPU operates at 400 MHz, which should ensure good performance in games. Furthermore, their settings are very typical in the world of smartphones such as 4-inch screen and 8 megapixel camera and the ability to record videos in 1080p.

According to Lava, the Xolo X900 has a battery with 5 hours of battery life for browsing, 45 hours audio and 8 hours of talk - the same average phones with ARM chips, which arguably have less appetite for energy than traditional Atom.

For those interested, the X900 will cost the equivalent of $ 800 without carrier subsidies.
