The latest tweet by @MaheshTelecom unveiled an upcoming iBall handset called the iBall Xotic. The full specifications are not yet available but only two specs and the price that have been revealed makes it somewhat exciting.

iBall Xotic is coming soon with a price tag of Rs. 7,999. This handset will come packed with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. Well that’s about it, we will have to wait and check the full specifications to get an idea if this is worth the price.

Lava Mobiles had launched the Iris X8 octa core handset a day before, with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. The Lava Iris X8 is priced at Rs. 8,999 and will be available from 9th February on Flipkart from 12:00 noon, the handset will also be made available in retail stores.


iBall Xotic with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage sounds similar to what the latest Iris X8 is offering, if the hardware is indeed the same (Octa Core) and some extra features like OTG support and Full HD Display then that would really be more interesting.

I think if the company launch this model with 4G Dual active Sim and 13 MP Front shooting camera and 5 MP rear shooting camera  than get so much of response by Indian customers. Also with Corning Gorilla glass and Bigger Battery its really blooming the Indian market.

Vivo, a brand of BBK Communication Technology that makes smart devices like 4G Xshot handsets, is now set to enter the Asia’s fastest-growing smartphone market India with the first launch planned in near future.

What makes it popular?  Last quarter in china, it sold more smartphones than Apple did. I think you understand why we called it Giant. From about a two per cent share in the Chinese market, Vivo has jumped up to capture six per cent (Canalys report) by the end of September 2014 to emerge the sixth largest smartphone company in China to replace Apple. Last year its number was 11^th.

Vivo Mobile India, director, Jacky Liao, said”The company also launch its smartphones in India with price range between 7k to 40k in the near future. The firm will establish its manufacturing unit in India over the next three years”. In India, it has inked pact with 20 distributors in 20 states, and the number will go up to 25 over the next year.

The company has also entered into a partnership with Viacom18 Integrated Network Solutions, which will provide marketing and communications support for building brand Vivo in India. The partnership with Viacom18 is not just for India, and it also supports Vivo in other markets.

“The collaboration opens new avenues for media conglomerates to go beyond the perception of being a mere vehicle for advertisement. With a network like ours – with multi-screen, multi-platform, multi-regional presence - that caters to Vivo’s core TG of 18 to 34, we make for an ideal partner to provide complete brand solutions,” said Sudhanshu Vats, group chief executive officer, Viacom18 Media.
