The internal space for apps is 503MB and internal storage is around 2GB – same as the MMX A110 (with V1 ROM).
Benchmark scores
- Quadrant Benchmark : 2630.
- Antutu Benchmark : 6508.
- Nenamark2: 23.5 fps.
- Linpack : Single – 37, Multi – 55.
- Multi Touch : 5 point.
The touch is smooth, sensitive and responsive. Resolution is really great, viewing angles are good, fonts clear and sharp. There are no performance lags. In call sound during phone calls is loud and clear.
Gaming
The hardware is the same as on A110 and the internal storage allocation is also similar. Which means you can install games of max 1.8GB size on this handset. Modern Combat 3 as seen on the A110 will also play (I have not tested though) on this handset with ease, – enough space and a capable hardware.

Camera
The Xolo A800 also has the same 8MP camera with LED flash and front 0.3MP camera for video calls. You can record videos in 720p resolution.When shooting the 720p videos I found that the camera does not auto focus properly, instead I would tap the screen to focus as needed. Could be a glitch with the camera app. You can check the sample video shot at the end of the article.

The still photo quality is same as seen on other MTK 6577 handsets. Outdoor it’s excellent and indoors not that great.
Entertainment
The handset can play 720p videos but you cannot play 1080p videos. MP3 and many other auto and video formats are supported.

Battery
A 1600 mAh battery should be sufficient to get it going for a full 24 hours and more.

Xolo A800 review
In simple terms it’s the same hardware as on the A110, but with a 4.5 inch screen and a higher resolution. There are light sensors which are missing on A110. Cost wise its approx 2K more, but still with 512MB RAM. The built quality is better than A110, it’s smaller and has got a premium look. But for Rs. 11,999 it seems a bit over priced especially when for Rs. 12,500 you can get the iBall 4.5h with 1GB RAM.
