Lava has launched a new mid-end device powered by the MediaTek dual core processor, as usual and it has been named Xolo A500 Club. The word Club refers to the great audio experience that the phone is advertised to provide thanks to dual speakers on the front side.
Many people love the presence of speakers on the front side as it makes it easy to listen to sound when the phone is lying on its back on soft surfaces which would have absorbed some sound if the speakers were placed on the rear side, as we conventionally see. The HTC One received accolades from users for placement of the speakers on that device. This thing, plus the trendy looks of the Xolo A500 Club gives it a premium touch.
In a press release of the A500 Club, Lava disclosed information about the hardware and software front of the smartphone. Talking about software first, Xolo A500 Club will have a Quick Access Toolbar for (supposedly) quicker access to favorite applications. Also included is a float bar which allows the user to get to their media (music and videos) quickly. Xolo A500 also features a Smart Selfie feature which offers automatic face and smile recognition on voice prompt.
Though, we, at Droidiser.com, love Vanilla Android experience over everything else, whether these "smart" features makes this phone any smarter than other Android devices is yet to be seen. Moreover, the Quick Access toolbar and Float bar etc. can be obtained on any Android smartphone by using suitable applications from the Play Store.
