After making users gaga gaga over the coming of Tegra 4 powered tablet, Xolo will soon launch a massive FHD phone in India. With number of International brands already launched their respective extra large Full HD phablets in India at earth shattering price; Xolo is the latest entrant to launch its flagship handset around Christmas period.

The Xolo Q3000 appears to be a premium offering considering its massive display size and heavy duty in-built hardware. The yet to be announced phone has been listed on Flipkart under ‘coming soon' tag.

Both manufacturer and online retailer have been tight lipped in respect to pricing and retail availability. Since the phone constitutes an extra large 5.7-inch FHD display (at par with Samsung's Galaxy Note 3), the device should be priced on a higher side. How much users have to pay for the device is what comes to mind instantly.
