The Xolo Play Tegra Note, Xolo's 7-inch Nvidia Tegra 4-powered tablet, is now listed on e-commerce website Flipkart at a price of Rs. 18,990.
The phone is not available for purchase at the time of writing this post, and is listed as 'Coming soon.' There is no information about the availability of the tablet, yet. The listing was spotted by Fonearena.
The tablet, based on Nvidia's Tegra Note reference design, was to be reportedly launched in October, after Nvidia announced it in September and mentioned that it would be released in India via Xolo. The report had cited a company official and stated that the Xolo Play Tegra Note tablet will be launched in India in October, with the price expected to be between Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 20,000. It had estimated that the Xolo Play Tegra Note tablet would be priced at Rs. 16,999.
Assuming the currently listed price tag turns out to be the final one, the Xolo Play Tegra Note would fall in the same segment as the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet, though the latter doesn't come with expandable storage.
The Xolo Play Tegra Note tablet comes with a 7-inch HD IPS LCD (1280x800) display and is powered by a 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor with a 72-core GeForce GPU and quad-core Cortex-A15 CPU. The Tegra Note runs Android and will most likely receive over-the-air software updates directly from Nvidia. It features a 5-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front-facing camera. The tablet includes 16GB of inbuilt storage with microSD support and is expandable up to an additional 32GB. It sports front-facing HD audio stereo speakers with bass-reflex port. The reference Tegra Note tablet can deliver up to 10 hours of HD video playback, as per Nvidia.
Some of the headline features of the Xolo Play Tegra Note tablet are the DirectStylus technology for the bundled stylus, Nvidia PureAudio technology, SmugMug Camera app (one of the camera apps on iOS comes to Android), and Nvidia TegraZone that provides access to Tegra-optimized games.
