Crafted to perfection:
Epitomizing style and elegance, the new flagship device from XOLO, features 5.5 inch, Full HD OGS IPS display with a pixel density of 401 PPI, blending seamlessly to the rounded edges with softer curves for a smooth and natural grip. Wrapped in Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 on both sides BLACK offers reassuring toughness and superior resistance to damage and fingerprints. The oleophobic coating at the back provides extra resistance to fingerprints and grease while giving a luxuriously smooth feel. At just 7.3 mm, BLACK is a perfect blend of stunning looks and easy handleability.
Adding to the aesthetics of the device is a soft breathing light for non-intrusive notifications, through the power button. Users can personalize the colors of the notification light.
Revolutionary Dual Rear Camera
The dual rear camera module in BLACK uses a combination of 13MP and 2 MP camera set-up, which has been precisely engineered for best-in-class imaging experience, giving the phone its signature craftsmanship. The two cameras on the rear side of BLACK work in tandem to create unique imaging experiences, including super-fast focus and depth mapping for post-capture image processing.
UbiFocus™ feature in BLACK allows users to focus and refocus objects even after the image has been captured.
Fast Focus: With just 0.15 sec autofocus time, the BLACK camera breaks new boundaries for instant smartphone photography.
ChromaFlash™ enables the BLACK camera to retain natural colors and skin tones even in low light condition, which otherwise are over-exposed due to use of flash in such conditions.
OptiZoom™ significantly improves the clarity of images captured using zoom, via sophisticated image processing technology, which enhances the true resolution of the image. This super resolution feature allows the user to “see” beyond the normal limits of a digital zoom.
‘Photo Studio’ powered by Adobe is integrated in the BLACK image gallery, providing a host of editing features which allow users to play with the images taken, using various filters.
Front Camera: BLACK comes with 5MP front camera with wide angle lens and flash for great selfies even in low light conditions.

The device comes loaded with LPDDR3 2 GB RAM, enabling faster app launch, multitasking and lower power consumption. The 16 GB internal memory is expandable to 32 GB via a unique Hybrid Dual SIM technology. Moreover, BLACK supports USB OTG for additional storage requirement.
Pre-tuned audio experience: For a great music and audio experience, BLACK has been pre-tuned with popular, select headsets from JBL, Skull Candy, Creative, Panasonic and Sennheiser.
Battery that does more
The massive 3200 mAh battery of BLACK is further augmented to deliver 20% more power, achieved through an intricate load balancing technology, making it enormously efficient and long lasting.
