XOLO Q1000 Opus up for pre-order for Rs. 9999, has 5-inch display, quad-core Broadcom processor

XOLO Q1000 Opus was teased a short while back, saying that it will feature Broadcom's first quad-core chipset BCM23550. Finally, the Q1000 Opus is now available on pre-order for Rs. 9999. The specs of the device are decidedly mid-range but with a very disappointing FWVGA resolution for the 5-inch display. Its a dual-SIM device with dual-standby much like other XOLO phones, XOLO Power and XOLO Secure will also find a way into the Q1000 Opus. The phone is quite thin at about 9mm.
