Spice XLife 404

Spice has introduced a new Xlife series of smartphones which includes the new Xlife 404. Mostly targeting the entry-level segment, the Xlife 404 packs an interesting set of hardware. The Xlife 404 will directly compete with the likes of Micromax Bolt A065 and Intex Aqua 3G.

Spice s new Xlife 404 beams of a 4-inch TFT LCD display with 480x800 pixel resolution which will remind you of the 2012 era of budget smartphones. Nonetheless, the screen is capacity type and should offer responsiveness. Spice has housed an unspecified 1GHz mobile processor coupled with 256MB of RAM.

Clearly that amount of RAM will not be enough to drive the Android 4.4 KitKat which is factory-loaded. Even in terms of on-board storage, 512MB would be barely enough for installing apps. With that amount of storage, one must not expect Android 5.0 Lollipop update for it. But the storage can be expanded with up to 32GB micro SD card.

The back has a 3.2MP camera to capture images and can be shared over WhatsApp or other social networks. There is a 1.3MP front facing camera to click selfies. With support for two SIM cards, the Xlife 404 can hold only one 3G SIM at at time. The standard 3.5mm audio port serves well in hooking any pair of earphones with it and enjoy the FM radio.

Spice has packed multi-language support inside this handset so switching between some won t be an issue. The Xlife 404 packs a 1450 mAh battery which promises 7 hours of run time which is decent enough for a dual-SIM smartphone.
