The Xolo Q900 is a mid-range Android smartphone released back in October last year, spotting a 4.7-inch HD display powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core Mediatek chipset. The company starts to gain popularity after the release of their Xolo Play T1000 flagship, which runs on an incredible 1.5 GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor. Like the Xolo Play, the Xolo Q900 can also be rooted using the Framaroot app through the Boromir / Faramir exploit as well.
