You must be aware of the fact that the majority of computers today, including laptops, netbooks, desktops, etc. are powered by Intel chips and processors. Intel rules the computer market by a great margin. But, smartphone market is one such field which has remained untouched by this technology giant for many unknown reasons.
But finally, Intel has broken the shackles with its Medfield processor for the smartphone market. According to sources, Lava International is going to launch a smartphone dubbed as XOLO X900, which will be the first smartphone featuring the Intel Medfield processor. But, for now the smartphone will be available for sale in India only.
XOLO X900 will hit the stores on 23 April, 2012 and will cost around US $425 (Rs 22,000). The smartphone boasts of features like 4-inch touchscreen display, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 16 GB internal memory, and 8 megapixel camera. So, if you are living in the U.S. or UK, you may still need to wait a little longer to get your hand on your Intel-powered smartphone.
