Short Review
- The XOLO Hive 8X features a compact design with dimensions of 140 x 70 x 7.9 mm, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6592M chipset with an octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 2GB of RAM, allowing for moderate multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
- The 1920 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities, which may limit usage time.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated but functional for basic tasks.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the XOLO Hive 8X offers a straightforward smartphone experience with essential features.
- However, its specifications reflect its 2014 release, making it less competitive in today's market.
