Expert Analysis

We had a brief hands on of the phone and we really liked the look and feel of the phone. The UI brings the kind of freshness which can easily differentiate from any other Android phone in the market. But with the competing phones like Mi 3 from Xiaomi (yes, I know its hard to get in India), Aclatel Idol X+ giving tough competition to the Xolo 8X-1000, it will be interesting to see how well the Hive UI loaded phone makes its place in the market.
