The Xolo Q900 T has the same basic features similar to the existing smartphones in the market, the only special part is the display and processor, about which we will reserve our judgment till we get a review sample to test. However, in the 10-15K price segment, Indian phone vendors haven’t been successful in dethroning the Moto G, a phone that has been dominating the space since the very first day of its launch.
