Xolo Q800 is arguably one of the best budget android phones available in the Indian mobile industry in the category of under 10k mobile phones.

drive/ memory stick directly to your mobile.
HDMI: No
Battery: 2100MAh
Price: INR 10,250
Pros:
Cost: Its very cheap and value for money.
RAM: 1 GB RAM is good for most of the applications/games available under the Google Play Store.
Battery: Long lasting. Will last for 1.5 days under moderate use.
Camera: Rear 8mp shooter is a very decent one.
Cons:
Display seems washed out
OS version is not the latest one and isn't as stable as 4.2.2
Internal storage is just 4 gb, which won't be enough if you want to play heavy duty games as their
size take up GBs of space.
No USB OTG
Outdated Bluetooth version
HDMI port is sourly missed. So, no TV out for this one.
Even with all these pros and cons, it sure is a great package deal for someone who doesn't want to invest a lot on his/ her mobile phone and is a moderate user. For the relatively advance users/ geeks, there already are many ROMs making the rounds with various additional features and tweaks, making it even more lucrative.
Conclusion:
My final advise will be a "Yes" for Q800, only if you are a first time buyer.
I would rather prefer its recently launched cousin Q700 as it packs an even better deal.
