Camera and Internal Storage The camera in Xolo A510s is annoying as the phone includes a mere 5 MP rear camera with LED flash coupled with a 0.3 MP front-facer to make video calls. Though the handset appears to inferior camera sensors, it is acceptable considering its price point. To address the storage needs of consumers, the handset has 4 GB of internal storage capacity that can be expanded further up to 32 GB using a micro SD card. However, the internal memory capacity is too low given that all the applications store on the phone memory by default.

There is 1 GB of RAM aboard to ensure that the phone can handle multi-tasking to some extent.

Furthermore, the Xolo smartphone packs data connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE, Bluetooth and GPS to ensure you always stay connected.
Comparison
The Xolo A510s is priced well for its low-end specifications, but there is a fierce competitor for the handset and it is none other than Spice Smart Flo Mettle 5X. Though the Spice offering is made of plastic, its rear casing is built using metal, thereby competing with the Xolo’s offering. Other competitors include Micromax Canvas Mad, Xolo A600 and Gionee Pioneer P3.
Key Specs
Conclusion
Xolo might have built a attractive case for the A510s and the handset might be priced appropriately to gain enough sales from the price conscious consumer base, but the handset lacks behind in terms of specifications. The added 1 GB RAM will is a much needed and welcome improvement in the Xolo A series.
