Lava International is all set to release the first smartphone with Intel’s newly announced Medfield mobile chips in India. Dubbed the Xolo X900, the phone will run on as-yet-unspecified version of Google Android. The device was originally announced at the Mobile World Congress 2012 by the Lava executives and Intel’s CEO Paul Otellini. Intel has also signed deals with Lenovo, Motorola and Orange besides Lava to produce hardware solutions for its new Atom chips for mobile devices.
The Lava Xolo X900 will tout rich specs under the hood. The device will sport a 4.03-inch touchscreen with decent screen resolution and clarity. Intel’s new Z2460 single core processor with a clock-speed of 1.6GHz will power the gadget. The processor can ensure long battery life (up to 8 hours) with the 3G voice calling. You can enjoy six hours of HD video and five hours of 3G web browsing and 14 hours of standby on single charge.
It seems that Lava would become the first firm in the world to release an Intel Medfield-based device. Lenovo’s WMC 2012-featured K900 smartphone is only to come in May, 2012. Motorola and Orange haven’t yet announced their Intel devices. Thus, Lava Xolo X900 may be the first device with Intel's mobile processor.
The chip maker, which has been dominating the chip market for PCs and servers, wishes to enter into the mobile market with its new range of mobile processors. Mr. Otellini thinks that there is enough space for Intel to get into the mobile industry, which is currently dominated by the Cambridge, U.K-based ARM Holdings. Intel is in efforts to put holes in the supremacy of ARM. The company has already started talks with the leading tech makers like Apple and Samsung to encourage them to use its Medfield chips in their products.
