Expert Analysis
Xolo Q2100 comes off as a great phablet offering in this price segment which offers plenty of features and mid range processing power. Other alternatives in this segment include the Motorola Moto G (2014) & Xiaomi Mi 3 (If you’re able to get it !) which offer a more polished and powerful smartphone experience respectively. However, If you’re looking for maximum features with an entry level price tag, Xolo Q2100 will definitely impress you !
