This phone directly competes with Micromax Canvas HD A116 as most of the specifications are similar, except the screen size, resolution, price. What do you think of Xolo Q800? If you’re looking for a smaller phone in quad-core chipset segment (i.e. you don’t like 5-inch giant phones), Xolo Q800 could be considered. Or if the screen resolution doesn’t matter a lot for you, you can save about extra Rs.1500 by not buying Canvas HD, instead going for Xolo Q800.
