Build and Screen
Looking at the Xolo Era X, it doesn’t mark a significant departure from a budget device in terms of design. The body is fashioned out of plastic.
However, unlike some other budget offerings, the Xolo Era X is protected on the front against scratches and scuffs by tough Corning Gorilla Glass.
The display itself measures 5 inches diagonally and has an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. This is an IPS touchscreen so buyers will be right to expect decent wide-angle viewing.
Camera and Storage
The Xolo Era X is better configured in the camera department than the Era 4G. It packs a pair of snappers similar to those on the Xolo Era 4K to an extent. You will find an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus, smile detection and burst mode on the rear.
There is also 5-megapixel front-facing shooter with flash for superb selfies in low-light conditions. Internal storage capacity is at 8 GB, with this being expandable by up to 32 GB using a microSD card.
Performance and OS
On the inside, the Xolo Era X packs a similar quad-core Spreadtrum processor as the Era 4G, but comes with 2 GB of RAM as available on the Era 4K.
The level of performance to be expected is poised between those of the other two devices and would certainly be satisfactory to entry-level users the most.
Out of the box, this budget smartphone will boot Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system. Buyers are in for superb value as this software is upgradeable to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Miscellaneous Specs
The same 2,500mAh Lithium-Ion battery of the Xolo Era 4G is on offer here, promising talk time of over 16 and half hours. The Era X offers dual SIM slots, both of which support blazing-fast 4G LTE connectivity.
It comes with Box speakers and integrated K-class amplifier for great audio when listening to music or watching movies.

Xolo Era X is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Xolo Era X Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N17,000 to N25,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
